Board approves annual contract with Dakota 15 for nutrition/director services
Summary
Trustees voted to join Dakota 15 (food-service buying group) for nutrition/director services; board discussion noted the consortium handles federal nutritional analysis and meal planning and that the district’s choices are constrained by federal requirements.
The Colman‑Egan board voted to approve an annual contract to join a food-service consortium referred to in the meeting as Dakota 15 (nutrition/director services). Trustees discussed that the consortium performs nutritional analysis, meal planning and compliance work that allows the district to meet federal requirements for school meals.
A board member noted the consortium limits menu choices because items must meet federal thresholds for sodium and other nutrition standards; the board approved the motion and the vote carried by voice vote. No dollar amount for the contract was specified in the transcript; trustees said the arrangement is a standard district contract to ensure compliance with federal guidelines for school meals.
