Board renews food-service contract with Taylor Inc.; trustees seek more survey feedback
Summary
Trustees approved a one-year renewal of the full-service food management contract with Taylor Incorporated for 2026–27 after staff said the state approved requested terms; trustees urged gathering student and staff survey feedback before future renewals.
Board members approved an extension of the district’s full-service food management contract with Taylor Incorporated for the 2026–27 school year following staff recommendations and state review.
Director Brock Carter outlined terms the district submitted to the state for approval and noted negotiated adjustments: an administrative fee increase from $2,474.40 to $2,561 per month and a stated per-meal or fee change reflected in the staff report. Several trustees asked whether district surveys of students and staff had been used to inform negotiations; Carter said prior superintendent Griffin had gathered some feedback during negotiations but that staff would check for student survey data. Trustee comments emphasized the value of systematic customer feedback in future renewals; one trustee suggested involving the hospitality management class or an advisory committee to collect and summarize consumer experience.
Trustee Bradley moved to approve the staff report and Trustee Raquel Martin seconded; the motion carried on a roll call. Trustees asked staff to provide clearer survey and performance data in future contract discussions so the board can assess service quality before renewing multi-year food-service agreements.
