Manage episode 374023403 series 3501627
What if you could peek behind the curtains of a thriving school district and learn about the unsung heroes who make it all possible? Well, that’s exactly what we’re doing in this episode of FCS Unscripted! As your host, Superintendent Mark Kopp, I’m taking you on a tour of Franklin County Schools' first week back. Hear about the remarkable work of our transportation and maintenance departments, the bus drivers, mechanics, monitors, and our diligent custodians who all contributed to making our students' journey to school safe, efficient, and memorable.
We're also turning the spotlight on the impressive work of our Food and Nutrition Department, where we chat with our very own Christie Pritchett, Director of Food and Nutrition Services. She's the genius behind our summer feeding program, which served an astounding 76,000 meals! Christie gives us an insight into her role, ensuring that every student gets a nutritious, healthy meal. We also discuss a significant legislative development aimed at strengthening access to a federal program that lets qualifying schools offer meals for free to all students. So, strap in and join us as we celebrate our accomplishments and anticipate an exciting school year ahead.
