In other business, the school board gave preliminary approval to a plan for providing lunch service to Quincy children age 1 to 18 during the summer.
Karla Hartt, food services director for the district, said there has been community interest in having a similar free lunch program that is provided in neighboring communities, including Ephrata. The cost of the program would be covered by the federal government, Hartt explained. The school district would provide sack lunches, for children at either the school where the summer education program is conducted or at another public location, or both. There would be no means test for the lunches which would be provided to anyone from under the age of 18, excluding babies needing formula. The board and superintendent Burton Dickerson asked Hartt to pursue the matter and bring back an agreement for board approval.
