Board tables $114,500 YOLO Food Bank contract pending site-level participation and distribution data
Summary
Trustees asked staff for site-by-site counts, distribution process details and information on how excess food is handled before approving a renewal of the YOLO Food Bank agreement; the board moved to table the $114,500 contract to the next meeting.
The board tabled action on a proposed renewal of the vendor agreement with YOLO Food Bank for the 2026–27 year after trustees requested more data about how the service is used at the three participating schools.
Staff presented the fiscal impact as $114,500 funded by community schools grant funds and said the program augments other distributions with fresh produce and staples. Multiple trustees asked for the number of families served by school site, evidence that the program is meeting needs, distribution logistics (including whether students can transport items home), and whether food that is not used is returned to the food bank. One trustee said she would vote no without that information. The board moved and approved a motion to table the item to the next meeting to allow staff to provide the requested metrics and process clarifications.
