Board tables food service management contract pending state approval of forms
Summary
Board voted to table approval of the food service management contract until a special meeting after state review of required forms; staff said the state must confirm the district’s forms before the board can act.
The Lowell Area Schools Board of Education voted to table consideration of a food service management contract after staff said the state must first review and approve required forms.
District staff explained that the contract renewal process requires the state to approve specific signed forms. Staff submitted forms to the state and are awaiting confirmation that the documents match the state template; the state reviews forms, returns them for signature, and reviews again before final approval. “Once they review that the forms are as they said they should be, then we get to vote,” a staff member explained to the board.
Board members agreed to table the item and schedule a special meeting on May 19 to consider the contract once the state confirms the forms. Pat moved to table the item; Jessica supported the motion. The board approved the motion by voice vote.
No contract was approved or signed at the May 12 meeting; staff said they expect to bring the item back for a vote at the special meeting after state approval.
