Board renews food‑service contract as management shifts to Whitsons
Summary
The board approved a one‑year renewal of the district's food service management contract (originally awarded to Arbor Management), noting the company was acquired by Whitsons and that annual increases are tied to CPI.
The board approved a contract renewal extension for food service management for the 2026–27 school year with Arbor Management, now managed by Whitsons. Administration reminded the board that the original contract resulted from a competitive RFP roughly three years ago and that the current action is a standard annual renewal within a five‑year contract structure.
Administration said annual price increases are tied to the Consumer Price Index for food services and estimated an increase of just over 4% for the upcoming year. No alternate bids were presented at the meeting; administration said the contract terms included renewal options and the board voted to renew the contract (Motion 8).
