Board approves annual nutrition-directorship contract, joins Dakota 15 buying group
Summary
The Colman‑Egan board approved joining the Dakota 15 food‑service buying group and authorized an annual contract with Nutrition Directorship Services; board discussion noted federal meal guidelines constrain menu options and the buying group provides nutritional analysis and meal planning.
Board members voted to approve the district joining Dakota 15 (the district food‑service buying group) and to approve the annual contract with Nutrition Directorship Services after a motion and second. A board member explained that Dakota 15 performs nutritional analysis and meal planning and that federal guidelines dictate meal components for districts receiving federal funds.
During discussion trustees and staff acknowledged limits the federal guidelines place on menu choices, and one board member asked whether more "real" food options are available within the constraints. The motion passed by voice vote; no individual roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
