Board approves resolution authorizing partial PERF withdrawals for Chartwells positions
Summary
Trustees approved a procedural resolution allowing partial withdrawal of PERF-covered positions to accommodate a new third-party food-service provider, Chartwells; staff characterized it as a logistical step requested by Kendra Franks and required by the Indiana Public Retirement System.
The board approved a resolution authorizing partial withdrawal of PERF-covered positions to allow Chartwells, a third-party food-service provider, to take over certain food-service roles. Staff said the action is a logistical step required by the Indiana Public Retirement System and was requested by Kendra Franks.
Staff described the resolution as a routine administrative step to release the affected positions from PERF coverage so the third-party contract can proceed. The board moved, seconded and approved the resolution by raised hands; no roll-call tally appears in the transcript. Trustees asked clarifying questions and staff emphasized this is not a substantive change to employee retirement rights but a procedural move tied to the vendor contract.
The resolution will allow the district to complete the contract transition to Chartwells; staff said they will follow the normal steps required by bond counsel, retirement authorities and procurement procedures before work under the new contract begins.
