Agenda Item
a. Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) Between DCSD and Goodr, Inc. (Not to exceed $960,000)
Summary: Presented by: Dr. Kishia K. Towns, Chief of Wrap Around Services, Division of Wrap Around Services
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve the agreement between Goodr, Inc grocery stores and the DeKalb County School District for an amount not to exceed $960,000.
Why: The City of Stonecrest donated 100K to each of the 12 schools in their geographical area. Developing a school-based pantry is one of the allowable expenses identified in the agreement. Some schools are interested in creating a free, school-based grocery store for parents to serve between 125-200 families per month. Groceries will include both fresh and shelf stable items. Program will be sustained for subsequent years through grants and partnerships.
Details: Families are being impacted by the high cost of food, which directly affects a student’s ability to obtain healthy meals to fuel their brain for learning. According to Johns Hopkins Medical Center, poor nutrition may lead to increased body mass, vitamin deficiencies and chronic illnesses, in addition to anxiety and mood changes. Considering that the district is focused on meeting the needs of the whole child, a partnership with Goodr would expand the scope of services to meet the needs of families impacted by the high price of food.
Families eligible to obtain free groceries will be identified through the free and reduced meals program or extenuating circumstances and asked to register for groceries before distribution. Participating schools will be outfitted with appropriate storage, including shelving and refrigeration as needed.
Financial impact: The total cost of operating the Goodr grocery stores in all the 12 selected schools will be funded by a grant from the City of Stonecrest for an amount not to exceed $960,000.
Each of the following schools can select either basic (125 families) or standard (200 families) services to meet their communities' needs. They will also be able to identify if they would like to include household goods (detergent, napkins, etc.) in the monthly orders. Below are the GL Codes and allocated fund amounts associated with each school.
