During the Eagle Point School District 9 meeting on February 28, 2024, Superintendent Cohatcher announced significant developments regarding the district's food services contract. The district is preparing to issue a request for proposals (RFP) to find a new food service provider, a move aimed at enhancing meal options for students.

Cohatcher emphasized the importance of community involvement in this process. He stated that a team will be formed to review the proposals, consisting of two to three community members alongside two board members. This collaborative approach aims to ensure that the selected food service provider meets the needs and preferences of the students and families in the district.

The superintendent's report also highlighted that the details of this initiative, along with other updates, have been made available on the district's website and in the latest community newsletter. This transparency is part of the district's commitment to keeping residents informed and engaged in decisions that affect their children’s education and well-being.

As the district moves forward with this initiative, it reflects a broader commitment to improving student services and fostering community participation in school affairs. The upcoming work session will provide further insights into the food services contract and the selection process.
