Summary

The workshop included a presentation of a proposed agreement with Aramark to run school food service; staff said district employees who are currently district employees will remain employees after the transition and that the contract term is one year with renewals up to four years.

Mister Windham presented a recommended agreement between the Okaloosa County School Board and Aramark Education Services to provide services under RFP 25-01 for school food service management.

Board member Doctor White asked Mister Myers whether school-district employees would keep their district jobs after the transition from the current vendor to Aramark. Myers said, “If they're district employees, they'll remain district employees.” He added that employees who were T&G (temporary or vendor employees) would move to Aramark in June as part of the transition.

A board member asked whether the contract is a one-year agreement renewable for up to four years; staff confirmed that it is a 1-year contract with renewal options over four years. The workshop recorded the presentation; the item was listed on the consent agenda for later action in the regular meeting.
