PrefaceOpportunities such as trips to France, Italy, and participation in programs such as theModel United Nations at Yale, the Mock Thai, International Decathlon, and otheractivities is an experiential opportunity for students to expand their knowledge beyondthe classroom walls. The return on our investment has been spectacular as it allows thestudents to be actively involved in real-world application of the curriculum acrossdisciplines.

ProposalCharleston, SC and Savannah, GA

May 25— May 29, 2011

Andrea Kremzar and Kathy Rubano from Trumbull High School Social StudiesDepartment are proposing a trip to Charleston, SC and Savannah., GA in May 2011. Thistrip will allow students to experience “living” history of the American past.

As a result of this tour, students will develop an awareness of societal, political andeconomic aspects of the American experience. The trip is designed to encourage anappreciation for the past as well as recognize contributions made to the development ofour najion. This is truly an interdisciplinary activity which incorporates English, FineArts, and Social Studies, among others. Students will have opportunities to visit sites atboth locations that are directly related to studies in the classroom. This trip will affordthe students the experience of not only visiting a different region of our country, but alsoparticipating in the history of our country.

Most recently THS embarked on a very successful learning experience to Italy (throughthe tour company Explorica) with a group of students. It was obvious how impressed thestudents were with seeing sites that they have learned about in their studies. Theyenthusiastically made these connections, gaining a greater appreciation and respect forthe roles that we all play in the global community, increasing awareness of the skillsneeded for them to be successthl in the 21st century. Many students have now expressedinterest in studying abroad to continue to accept challenges and broaden their horizons.We hope the trip to Charleston and Savannah will encourage student patriotism and anadmiration for those who shaped our nation’s social, political and economic landscape.

This tour will again run through Explorica. This company was very thorough,accommodating, and provided extensive communication before, during, and after the trip.From the plane ride to the hotels, restaurants, guides, local tours, Explorica did notdisappoint us. As a result, many of our groups looking to travel have been organizedthrough their company as well.

We would like to continue providing our students with opportunities to travel ataffordable prices, so that they can see and experience the places that they have learnedabout in school.

Report to the Board of Education Mr. lassognaRegular Meeting — June 15, 2010 Mrs. Sinko

Agenda Item V — C Healthy Food Certification Renewal

Section 10-215f, of the Connecticut General Statuesrequires that all local Boards of Education are required toannually certify if all district schools will or will not

participate in the Healthy Foods Program. (As you areaware, based on lengthy discussion last year, the Boardvoted unanimously not to participate in this State program).

School districts that participate in the National SchoolLunch Program and National School Breakfast Programtake action each year to certify all food items sold ordistributed to students separately from a reimbursableschool breakfast or lunch will or will not meet theConnecticut Nutrition Standards. These food items includefood offered for sale to students at all times, in all schoolsand from all sources including, but not limited to, schoolstores, vending machines, school cafeterias, and anyfundrai.sing activities on school premises, whether or notschool sponsored.

If the district decides to participate, the food serviceprogram may receive an additional 10 cents per lunch instate reimbursement based on the total number ofreimbursable lunches (paid, free and reduced) served in thedistrict in the prior school year.

Please note that the decision on whether or not to approvenon-participation in Section 10-21 5f encompasses theentire district, not just school cafeterias.

Mrs. Betty Sinko, Director of Food Services and BusinessManager, Steve Sirico, will be present to discuss this item.

Recommendation Continue non-participation in the Act Concerning HealthyFoods and Beverages in schools for 2010-2011.



Agenda Item V — D Beverage Sale Approval

To comply with State Statute(GCS 10-221 q) and separate from theHealthy Food Act, Boards of Education arerequired to address allowing the sale ofbeverages on school premises that are not onthe State’s approved list, contingent uponthe following three conditions being met:

- The sale is in connection with anevent occurring after the end of theregular school day or on theweekend;

- The sale is at the location of theevent; and

- Products are not sold from a vendingmachine or school store.

Since employing the above conditionsworked well this year, the administrationsupports Board continuation of such.

Administrative Recommendation: Approve the sale of beverage items afterschool and/or at school events and activitiescontingent upon the three conditions listedabove.

June 2010

If the Board of Education wants to allow beverages not listed in state statute at anevent that meet the below conditions, it must vote to allow them.

Beverage Statute(GCS Section 10-211q)

Beverage statute (GCS Section 1O-211q) is separate from healthy food certification. It is requiredfor all public schools, regardless of whether the district certifies for the healthy food option underSection 10-215f.

In all public schools, any beverages sold to students must meet the beverage requirements ofstate statute (CGS Section 10-221q) at all times and from all sources. The statute allows only thefollowing five categories of beverages to be sold to students:

(1) Milk (flavored or plain) with no more than 4 grams of sugar per ounce and no artificialsweeteners;

(2) Nondairy milks such as soy or rice milk, which may be flavored but contain no artificialsweeteners, no more than 4 grams of sugar per ounce, no more than 35 percent of calories fromfat per portion and no more than 10 percent of calories from saturated fat per portion;

(3) 100 percent fruit juice, vegetable juice or combination of such juices, containing no addedsugars, sweeteners or artificial sweeteners;

(4) Beverages that contain only water and fruit or vegetable juice and have no added sugars,sweeteners or artificial sweeteners; and

(5) Water, which may be flavored but contains no added sugars, sweeteners, artificial sweetenersor caffeine. Portion sizes of allowable beverages are limited to no more than 12 fluid ounces, withthe exception of water. (See Allowable Beverages in Connecticut Schools,http://www.sde.ct.gov/sde/lib/sde/PDF/DEPS/Student/Nutrition Ed/Allowable Beverages. pdf.)

Beverages that do not meet the requirement of state statute can only be sold to students onschool premises if the local board of education votes to permit them and the following threeexemption conditions are met:

(1) the sale is in connection with an event occurring after the end of the regular school day or on

the weekend;

(2) the sale is at the location of the event; and

(3) the beverages are not sold from a vending machine or school store.

Agenda Item V-E School Lunch Price Increase

Trumbull Public Schools’ Food Services is aself-sustaining program that is not supportedby the District’s operating budget. Everyeffort is made to provide students and staffwith nutritious, healthy meals in a costefficient manner.

Two years ago, given the economic situationand increased costs, Food Services DirectorBetty Sinko proposed a district lunch priceincrease of 40 cents. The Board approvedan increase of 25 cents and suggested theDistrict come forward more intermittentlyfor a price increase so as to avoid largeincreases in any given year.

Mrs. Sinko has analyzed and assessedprogram needs, particularly focusing on thelarge rise in the cost of food and relateditems, equipment maintenance andcontracted staff increases. Accordingly, theFood Services Department recommends atwenty cent increase per lunch with pricesas follows: elementary--$2.45; middle--$2.5 5; and high school--$2.70. As noted onthe attached School Lunch Price InformationSheet, the average price in Fairfield Countyfor a school lunch for 2009-20 10 is:elementary, $2.75; middle--$3.00; and highschool--$3.00. You also should note thatTrumbull Public Schools lunch prices areconsistently $.25 to $.50 lower than theaverage and this would be only the 3id lunchprice increase in 18 years.

The above increase would help assurecontinued delivery of a quality FoodServices program, as well as provide moniesto be used for our capital project plans(Please note attached back-up).

Administrative Recommendation: Approve price increases for school lunches aspresented.

Special Education InstructionPolicy

The Board of Education accepts its legal duties and responsibilities for providing special educationprograms for the students of the school district.

In making a determination of eligibility for special education and related services, through use of avariety of assessment tools and strategies designed to gather relevant functional, developmental,and academic information, a student shall not be determined to be a disabled student if thedominant factor for such a determination is a lack of appropriate instruction in reading, including inthe essential components of reading instruction, as defined in the No Child Left Behind Act, lack ofinstruction in math or limited English proficiency. Further, the District is not required to take intoconsideration whether a student has a severe discrepancy between achievement and intellectualability in oral expression, listening comprehension, written expression, basic reading skills, readingcomprehension or mathematical calculation or reasoning in funding that a student has a specificlearning disability. In determining whether a child has a specific learning disability, the Districtmay use a process that determines if the student responds to scientific, research-based interventionas a part of the evaluation procedures to determine eligibility.

Each student with a disability who is a resident of the district shall be provided quality educationprograms and services that meet the student’s needs for educational, instructional, transitional andrelated services. The special education program shall be designed to comply with federal and statelaw; conform to district goals; and integrate programs of special education with the regularinstructional programs of the schools, consistent with the interests of the student with a disabilityand other students.

The Superintendent of Schools or his/her designee is directed to develop a comprehensive manualwhich includes the plan for State compliance with all of the requirements of federal and state lawfor the education of students with disabilities residing in or attending school in the Town ofTrumbull. The PPS Manual contains the regulations that implement free and appropriateeducational services and programs in the least restrictive environment for all disabled students.

The Board of Education requests that the plan be in harmony with the school district’s financialabilities, with the availability of special equipmentlfacilities needed and the availability of trainedcertified and non certified personnel.
