Board approves $35,400 purchase of new high school kettle pot for cafeteria
Summary
The Board approved replacement of a failed high-school kitchen kettle pot from Buhler Fixture Company for $35,400; the purchase will be paid from the district cafeteria fund.
The Beatrice Public Schools Board of Education voted May 12 to approve the purchase of a replacement kettle pot for Beatrice High School, accepting a $35,400 bid from Buhler Fixture Company.
Board members were told the existing kettle had been repaired multiple times and is no longer serviceable. "We have tried to fix it, and we have tried to fix it, but there are no more fixes. So we need to replace it," a district staff member said. The purchase was described as a summer project so the cafeteria is ready for the next school year.
The administrator clarified the cost will be covered by the district cafeteria fund. The motion to approve the purchase passed by board vote; no recorded roll-call tally was read into the minutes at the meeting.
Why it matters: replacing the kettle addresses an immediate operational need for school food service and was approved to ensure the cafeteria is functional for the coming year.
