Board renews membership in Wisconsin School Nutrition Purchasing Cooperative
Summary
The board approved renewing the district's $300 annual membership in the Wisconsin School Nutrition Purchasing Cooperative, noting rebates and compliance support with USDA regulations.
Mike presented the annual renewal of the district's membership in the Wisconsin School Nutrition Purchasing Cooperative, recommending continued participation. He said membership (still $300 a year) helps the district leverage purchasing power, cited rebates of $2,597 and the cooperative's support for procurement and USDA compliance, and noted the coop had grown to about 65 districts with two new members added since last year.
Tracy moved to approve the resolution and agreement; the board approved the membership renewal.
Administrators said the cooperative helps with bids for bread, milk and other food vendors and that the cooperative's procurement specialists (now called protein advisors) assist districts in meeting federal procurement requirements.
The $300 membership fee was described as economical relative to the savings reported.
