Summary
The board approved a one-year renewal of the district's Chartwells food-service management contract for 2025–26, with the option for further annual renewals through 2027–28 based on performance.
Dr. James Duffy presented the nutrition-services item and recommended approving a second renewal year for Chartwells for the 2025–26 school year. Westminster Public Schools has contracted with Chartwells for nutrition services since 2010 and competitively bid the contract in 2014 and 2023; the 2023 contract used the Colorado Department of Education standard contract form with one year plus four one-year options.
Duffy said administration remained satisfied with Chartwells' service, quality and pricing and recommended approval of a renewal year with the option for additional annual renewals through the 2027–28 school year based on performance. A board member moved and another seconded the motion; the board approved the renewal in a roll-call vote (Miss Martinez Aye, Miss Murphy Aye, Mister Orequio Yes, Miss Yanez Yes).
The motion passed and the administration will continue to monitor Chartwells' performance under the contract terms.
