MOUNT VERNON BOARD OF EDUCATION REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING OCTOBER 27 2026 PART 2

The Mount Vernon City School District Board of Education’s regular business meeting was held October 27, 2026. The board reviewed amendments to District Wellness Policy 5405, covering student nutrition, physical activity, health services, school climate and facilities, staff wellness, and compliance monitoring. Trustees noted wording corrections during the reading and discussed terminology that depends on changes to state reporting documents. A motion was made and seconded to waive the remaining readings and immediately adopt the amended policy; the transcript does not capture the final vote clearly. The policy includes requirements affecting food marketing and references future purchases and contracts, but no procurement, contract award, vendor selection, or spending action was identified at this meeting.

During board comments, a trustee said a special education department presentation was scheduled for the next month’s work session, and trustees discussed student basketball and cheerleading activities. The board then voted to enter executive session to discuss pending litigation and receive legal updates.
