Students eat free
Seguin ISD looking to do away with lunch money at local schools By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) -- If all goes as planned, parents in the Seguin ISD will no longer have to pack any lunch money for their elementary or middle school students. The Seguin ISD is moving forward with implementing free meals for all younger kids during the upcoming school year. Seguin ISD Superintendent Dr. Matthew Gutierrez says the district is applying for the Community Eligibility Program (CEP). CEP is a non-pricing meal service option for schools and school districts in lowincome areas. Gutierrez says this goal of offering free meals is a tremendous step forward for the district and each of its families. "For the first year of the program, we are looking at our seven elementary schools, our early childhood school, Ball Early Childhood and the two middle schools. Our hope is that after evaluating a year or two, that we can then qualify the high school. It would be all of those campuses -- breakfast and lunch free to all students in the school district," said Gutierrez. Gutierrez says the Seguin ISD is a good candidate for the program and meets all the criteria for implementing the program into its schools. See STUDENTS, page 2

Seguin ISD moves forward with plans to serve free meals in school for all kids
STUDENTS, continued from page 1
"One of the requirements with this program through the Texas Department of Agriculture is that in order to meet the eligibility, you've got to meet certain requirements, with of course having high percentages of students from poverty. It's a federal option. It's not specific to just Texas. It allows high poverty schools to provide free meals to all students without having to collect applications or anything of that nature. It will be free to all," said Gutierrez.
Gutierrez says there is no debate that kids who are well fed are able to focus more and succeed in the classroom. He says by doing away with lunch money, it also puts all students on the same playing field and lessens the everyday stress for families.
families who have had hours cut or have lost jobs so their eligibility is changing and so this really is the perfect time as we've seen a negative impact on our economy for families and there are instances that families who could qualify are not taking advantage of the free lunch program and so there would not be a need to worry in a kid who takes their lunch. There's still going to be kids who want to take their lunch and if they forget their lunch, they are going to have access to a hot meal and a quality meal and that's one of the things that we are really proud of in the Seguin ISD is that we serve not only healthy nutritious meals but the food quality is pretty good," said Gutierrez.
"That's something that I'm really proud of the fact that we are to this place where we can offer this for our students and their families and even families who do not currently qualify for free or reduced lunches, it can still be a struggle and so this is going to save families money and it's also Gutierrez says unfortunately, families in the a win for the district because we would continue Seguin ISD more than justify the district's efforts to be reimbursed for every meal that we serve so to move forward with the program. it's not going to be a loss of revenue for the school district," said Gutierrez. Also during the 2019-2020 school year, the "Currently, we serve right now about 70 percent district operated with a $30 charge limit for kids. of students that come from poverty that are Gutierrez says the district actually started That meant if the charge limit was reached or considered economically disadvantaged which looking into this option two years ago and was in exceeded, then the student would be provided means that they qualify for free or reduced the midst of pushing through the paperwork with an alternate courtesy meal at no charge. The lunch. So, in order to qualify for this, what they when the school district's focus was rerouted to alternate courtesy meal likely consisted of a look at are certain eligibility criteria. They look the COVID-19 pandemic. He says with the sandwich, fruit and milk. at students whose families are receiving the uncertainty of today’s economic climate, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or timing to pursue the program couldn't have come Gutierrez says of course with this new program, there SNAP, households that are at or below the at a better time. will no longer be any balances owed for students in federal poverty level, households receiving "We've seen an increase in the number of the elementary and middle school levels. temporary assistance for needy families, households receiving food distribution meal programs and those students who are enrolled, for example, in a foster care program. They are considered homeless (and) also Head Start qualifies for pre-k so it's all of those criteria that add up to qualify a school district for this program," said Gutierrez. Breakfast for the last few years has always been provided for free for Seguin ISD students in PreK through 5th grades. The cost for breakfast for secondary students was 30 cents for reduced or $1.70 for full-pay. During the 2019-2020 school year, lunch for elementary school students was 40 cents for reduced or $2.80 for full-pay. The cost of lunch in the secondary levels (6th grade through 12th grade) was 40 cents for reduced and $3 for full-pay.
"What this also means and I know the question is going to be 'okay, so will we still have those balances owed?' There would be no balances owed and you know, we have community members who donate for students who have balances. There will be no balances and what the great thing is there's no need to worry about an alternate lunch and I know over the years, there's been concern about trays being taken and I feel like our Child Nutrition staff at least since I've been here in the three years have done a really good job. In fact, our alternate lunch is probably the best that I've ever seen for our students but that would be a thing of the past on those campuses," said Gutierrez. Although the district is pushing forward with the application process, Gutierrez remains optimistic that this is a done deal for the district and that school lunch money will soon be a thing of the past at least here in the Seguin ISD. "We are looking at bringing it to the board in August and I can say that the board is very excited and we've kept them informed throughout this process and they are excited about this opportunity for the school district so I truly believe that once we get to that point, it's going to be a done deal. This will certainly be a huge win for Seguin ISD," said Gutierrez. The program was discussed during a Seguin ISD Board of Trustees workshop held Thursday. During that workshop, trustees were reportedly in consensus of offering the free school meals for pre-k, all elementary and middle school students. While they too would have liked to have seen the program extended into the high school, they believe the best decision is to first pilot the program at the lower grade levels with hopes of eventually implementing the program at Seguin High School.

City of Seguin to again host food drive
Registration now underway for Mega Food Drive By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) – The city of Seguin is again doing its part to make sure families don’t go hungry during these times of uncertainty. The city for the second time will be partnering up with Guadalupe Regional Medical Center and the New Braunfels Food Bank for a Mega Food Distribution event this Thursday at the Seguin Events Complex.

Jennifer Sourdellia, the public information officer for the city of Seguin, says this food is completely free to all those who need it, regardless of income. "Registration is underway right now as we speak and there are two ways you can go about doing it. It is required so we want to remind people that you must register in order to participate for the distribution. It can be done quickly and easily online. We completely understand that not everyone has internet access and so for those if it is easier, we also have two phone registration lines that are open right now as well. Those phone lines are open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday so we encourage people to go ahead and get registered now. We are planning to have enough food to feed 1,000 families," said Sourdellia. Sourdellia says not only will they be

serving food for 1,000 families but the food itself is being provided to last them up to two weeks. It was in late April, when the trio first partnered up to provide food. At that time, nearly 800 families were served. Sourdellia says during that food drive, many folks still showed up without registering. Now, while they will still take care of them without a registration, Sourdellia reminds them that by pre-registering, those individuals won’t have to wait more than they have to.
"So this is why we encourage people to go ahead and register ahead of time instead of coming on site. We will do registration on site. We are not going to turn away people if they show up and are not registered. We will have people on site helping those register who didn't but again, it slows down the process and the lines and we want to make this easy and smooth for everyone and as quick as possible because it's going to be really hot that day. Summer heat is upon us and we are going to be out there for two hours from 9 to 11. We are doing it a little bit earlier in the day. It's
not as hot for our participants and also for our volunteers who will be helping. So, if everyone can help us out ahead a time and register ahead of time, it will make things a lot smoother and easier the day of," said Sourdellia. The food drive will be held from 9 to 11 a.m. Thursday at the Seguin Events Complex. Registration is available by calling 830-327-6000 or 830-401-1360. Online registration is also available at nbfoodbank.org/cvresponse/. The deadline to register is noon Wednesday.

Navarro's Lipton to play baseball at Schreiner University (Geronimo) - Navarro High School senior Riley Lipton inked a commitment to continue his baseball career at Schreiner University during a signing event at the NHS baseball field Wednesday afternoon in Geronimo. Lipton made the 30-4A All-District First Team as a junior in 2019, the Panthers' first season under head doach Kris Cavazos. The catcher and infielder hit Navarro's only two home runs to go with a .276 average and 11 RBIs while helping the team to an 8-5 record as a senior this spring before the UIL suspended and ultimately cancelled the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Schreiner, located in Kerrville, competes at the NCAA Division III level in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference. The Mountaineers were 9-8-1 under eighth-year head coach Ryan Brisbin before the NCAA and SCAC cancelled the remainder of the spring sports season.
Lipton (seated, second from left) was joined by coaches, teammates, and family members at the Navarro High School baseball field Wednesday as he finalized his commitment to play baseball for Schreiner University.

(New York City, NY) -- A New York police lieutenant regrets kneeling for protesters during a George Floyd demonstration last month. Lt. Robert Cattani took a knee during a demonstration in Manhattan on May 31st, to appease protesters in Foley Square who were chanting, "NYPD, take a knee." Cattani now says it was a bad decision and that he should have stood his ground, and that he'll be "shamed and humiliated" about it for the rest of his life. He did, however, condemn the actions of the Minneapolis police officer accused of murdering George Floyd.
