Pinckney board approves Math Expressions renewal and renews Aramark food service
Summary
The board approved a six-year license renewal for the K–5 Math Expressions curriculum and renewed the district food service contract with Aramark for 2026–27 (a 4% increase noted). The transcript contains formatting errors in the stated contract price; the official board packet contains the exact figures.
The Pinckney Community Schools Board approved a renewal to continue Math Expressions as the district’s K–5 math curriculum and renewed its Aramark food-service contract for the 2026–27 school year.
Administrators described the Math Expressions purchase as a six-year license intended to provide digital and print resources; the district compared historical annual costs to the proposed contract and emphasized online components that reduce per-classroom teacher costs. The district presented the motion as a renewal and the board approved the purchase. The motion as read in the livestream contains corrupted formatting for the listed dollar amount and contract end year; district officials said the exact price is documented in the official board packet.
On food service, administrators said the district previously conducted a competitive bid and that Aramark has provided improved operations under current managers. The renewal was presented with a 4% increase consistent with prior bid terms and was approved by the board.
Board members discussed subscription-based curriculum pricing and the trade-offs between online and paper materials. Administrators said training for the new curriculum is planned for August and that K–5 math instruction will be a summer focus for teachers.
