Board renews child-nutrition milk bid for 2025–26 and forwards cafeteria supply bids
Summary
The board approved a one-year renewal of the child-nutrition milk bid for the 2025–26 school year and forwarded bids for small cafeteria equipment and paper/cleaning supplies to the full board for approval after committee recommendation.
The Acadia Parish School Board approved a one-year renewal of the child-nutrition milk bid for the 2025–26 school year and committee recommendations for cafeteria equipment and paper/cleaning supply bids.
Ms. David moved to renew the milk bid for the 2025–26 school year; Mr. Jones seconded the motion and the board approved it. During discussion a board member asked whether the price remained the same and a staff speaker said the average cost per unit referenced in the meeting was between 30 and 37 cents (the speaker said approximately 37¢ per unit in the packet discussion). The board confirmed the renewal covered a single year; no automatic multi-year renewal clause was described in the meeting.
The Budget Finance Committee recommended approval of child-nutrition bid items including small cafeteria equipment (Bid 33.7 SL) and paper and cleaning supplies (Bid 33.8 SL) for 2025–26; the committee’s recommendation was sent to the full board and approved as presented.
Board members noted occasional vendor variability in bidding from year to year, and one member referenced past problems with a vendor (not named in the record). No price schedules or contract dollar totals were read into the meeting minutes during the discussion.
