Board renews Chartwells K12 food service contract with a 4% per‑meal increase
Summary
Trustees approved a mid‑contract renewal with Chartwells K12 that includes a 4% per‑meal increase (approximately $0.1042 per meal) and a $244.94 monthly administrative fee increase.
The Benzie County Central School Board approved a mid‑contract renewal with Chartwells K12 for district food services at its March 9 meeting (Motion 25‑26‑076). The motion was moved by Trustee Sue Campana, supported by Mr. Egeler, and passed 6–0.
Administration described the renewal as a standard mid‑contract update: "This is a standard mid-contract renewal. Per meal increases at 4% based on the Consumer Price Index." Meeting materials list the per‑meal increase as $0.1042 and an administrative fee increase of $244.94 per month. The board did not request additional study and approved the renewal on the consent of trustees.
The renewal will affect meal pricing and vendor payments under the current contract; administration did not present an estimate of total annual cost change during the meeting. Chartwells K12 remains the district food-service provider under the renewed terms.
