Free breakfasts, lunches again this year in Norwalk

NORWALK — Students in the Norwalk City Schools will get free breakfasts and lunch again this year, thanks to government funding. In other action at Tuesday night's board of education meeting, board members learned a replacement boiler is needed at a cost of $97,000. Todd Fox was given a 10-day extended time contract as he is moving to the high school as a guidance counselor. He also is the head football and wrestling coach. The board also agreed on the OAPSE collective bargaining contract, matching the contract given to the teachers. "I want to thank everybody involved," Superintendent George Fisk said. "We had a lot of uncertainty with our financial status and everybody worked in the best interest of the district." It was the final board meeting for Fisk, who is leaving Norwalk for a job in the Canton area. His replacement is expected to be announced at a special board meeting at 8:30 tonight. In other business the board approved: • Resolution to support and join the Ohio Coalition for Equity and Adequacy of School Funding • Cafeteria transfer — $60,000 from 001 to 006 so food service does not end the fiscal year in the red.• Necessary fund transfers and advances — Advances required for FY21 fiscal year end for positive year end fund balances.
