Mrs. Panzer stated that she is on the Board at NECC and that she would need to recues herself from discussion on any NECC matter.  Another Board member stated that she did not have to remove herself from discussions on that topic.  Discussion ensued.

 

Jenny Hansell came to a previous Board meeting asking the Board if NECC and Webutuck students that are associated with the NECC summer program can sell their vegetables at a farmer’s market for a six week period during the summer.  The produce is grown in the school garden.  The Board stated at that meeting that some questions needed to be answered by the next Board meeting.  Mrs. Panzer stated that NECC would need to know soon because there is a short window for harvest and selling.  A Board member had concerns that the garden program might be going away from being a school function from which it was originally approved.  There were additional concerns about competing with local farmers.  The Board member stated that NECC runs the farmer’s market, and that they are aware of the competition; they intended for the produce to be sold on a different day than the market.  Webutuck students who work at NECC thru their summer work program would get paid to harvest and sell the produce. Other concerns raised were the monetary aspect of selling produce.  Concerns ranged from: where will the money be deposited; who will be in charge of the money that is made through the garden program; will the Board be able to view the financial statements from the garden program?  NECC is very willing to provide the Board anything the Board would like with respect to the monies.  Discussion ensued.
