Will districts provide food services for children who depend on the school for meals?
Through grant funding, DeKalb ISD will provide afternoon care (ACE), lunch, and transportation to students needing food and childcare. New Boston ISD will offer meals on Fridays for students who qualify for free and reduced meals and choose to participate. Malta ISD’s parent survey did not show great concern for childcare or food service. Malta ISD will continue to partner with a local program that sends food home to children in need on the weekends.
My hope is that the class periods will have enough extra time in them that the teachers and students alike will have more useful lecture and practice time for their subject matter. Anything new is scary and also exciting. I hope this is the best thing ever in the way of public school education. ”
Will extracurricular activities be cut? According to DeKalb ISD and New Boston ISD, extracurricular activities will still take place on Fridays and will not be affected.
