Board approves adult meal price increase, rebids and honors‑course weighting change
Summary
The board approved a $0.80 increase in adult breakfast prices for 2026–27, approved rollover bids and awarded county cooperative food contracts, and adopted a revision to grading policy 5421 that adds weighting for honors courses beginning with the incoming ninth grade.
The Wyoming County Schools board moved through several business items, approving meal price changes, vendor rollovers and cooperative bid awards and adopting a policy revision to weight honors courses.
Food services and procurement: Miss Thomas presented multiple procurement items. The board approved rollovers for a produce vendor (Fruit Brothers) and a vending vendor (W Bills). Miss Thomas reviewed cooperative rebid recommendations for the Country Roads Cooperative: she recommended awarding the local beef bid to Mount Seir (recommended over West Virginia Harvest, which she said supplied incomplete or non‑local product information), United Dairy for milk (the lone bidder) and Gordon Food Service for the large food bid (higher overall score than US Foods). Miss Thomas said milk pricing will range about 38–42 cents per 8‑ounce serving depending on type; plastic containers will not be used because of sanitation concerns.
Adult meal prices and budget notes: Miss Thomas proposed raising the adult breakfast price from $3.70 to $4.50 for the 2026–27 school year, citing required diet‑free items that raised costs; lunch and supper prices were slated to increase by five cents, and snack prices were unchanged. The board moved, seconded and approved the adult price change.
Grants and budget items: The board discussed a newly received grant of $24,158 intended for equipment and training; roughly $10,000 was proposed for a dough‑flattening unit and the remainder toward dishwasher replacement (the specific school recipient for the dishwasher was not specified in the discussion).
Policy 5421 — honors weighting: Mr. Stewart and Miss Mitchell presented a proposed revision to grading policy 5421 to award additional grade‑point weight to honors courses beginning with the incoming ninth‑grade class in 2026–27 (A=4.5, B=3.5, C=2.5, D=1.5). The board considered the change, heard that counselors had notified incoming families, and approved the revision.
Board actions recorded on the record were motions with second and approval calls for the adult meal increase, cooperative bid awards and the policy revision. The meeting continued with other agenda items.
