Nutrition director reports 69,537 breakfasts and 73,839 lunches last year; food‑service bids set to roll over
Summary
District staff reported food-service contract extensions, summarized procurement practices and provided meal counts (69,537 breakfasts; 73,839 lunches last year), summer meal totals, and said the district celebrates the 10th year of the Community Eligibility Provision.
A district staff member briefed the board on food‑service procurement and nutrition programming. The staff member said the district is rolling over annual food‑service extensions (five‑year extensions noted) and that because of micro‑procurement thresholds some contracts do not require formal approval. "Last year, we served 69,537 breakfasts. We served 73,839 lunches," the staff member reported, and added summer program totals of 1,816 breakfasts and 2,053 lunches.
The staff member also described farm‑to‑school activity, noting a first delivery of local produce and plans for a harvest market in October. The district is celebrating the 10th year of the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), which the staff member said has meant free meals for a majority of students.
