·  HB1018: Video of “jamming minute” in a kindergarten class at Reeces Creek Elementary. Purpose is to provide a way to increase physical activity outside of PE. Another program implemented at the elementary schools was a run club where students run 13.1 miles between March and April. 91 students participated and were given awards at the FFWF where they finished up their last 3 miles.

After action meeting scheduled to follow current meeting to discuss FFWF event in detail.

·  Community Eligibility Program: USDA allows schools with high percentages of low-income children the option to offer free school meals to all children in those schools. Currently researching the information (challenges, accountability, Title I funding) to determine if we will be able to offer it to two schools (East Ward & West Ward) next school year.

·  After School Meals: Currently looking into offering a supper meal at 2-3 schools with 50% or more free or reduced eligibility for all students. Decided upon offering the program at Killeen High School.

·  School Based Health Centers: Board proposed to implement pilot program at Smith and Audie Murphy next school year and potentially extend it to Rancier and Nolan the following year (2015-2016). Important factors to consider are that parental consent is key and that the program does not replace the school nurse services. The program is an opportunity for students to receive care that they may not receive otherwise and keep students in school. Services will most likely be for sports physicals, shots, and other routine care (still working out the details). Questions from committee about offering services to elementary schools and offering behavioral health services. MAJ Dawson advised that consent requirements are different for children under 12, who are required to have a parent present. Also advised committee that the program will
