Manitowoc Public School District Superintendent James Feil is taking steps to potentially reinstate a program that would resume providing free meals to all enrolled students in the district.
Manitowoc school board members expressed tentative agreement during a special board meeting Oct. 24 in reinstating the Community Eligibility Provision, which led to Feil saying he would work with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction toward the possibility of reinstating the program for the remainder of this current academic year.
Feil said he would rather have a board vote on the issue, but there was no vote listed on the agenda. Open meetings laws require government bodies such as the school board to list any actions they might take during a meeting in a publicly available agenda prior to the meeting.
