Mr. Nadeau mentioned that the price of milk has increased. Mr. Perez asked about the state grant and how many years were left. Ms. Spence mentioned we are starting year 2 of 3 years.

Mr. Nadeau mentioned 3 options: Food Service, PI, General Fund. At this point the board needs to decide the appropriate appropriations. Mr. Kisabeth said 5 years or more should be PI.
