Floresville ISD approves one‑year Sodexo child nutrition contract worth about $2.2M
Summary
After a state‑required RFP review, the board approved a one‑year Sodexo contract for child nutrition for 2026–27 (just under $2.2 million), including a district return guarantee and raises for Sodexo employees; the vote was unanimous.
The district followed Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) requirements on rebidding its food service management contract and received three proposals. The procurement team — which included the child nutrition coordinator — recommended renewing with Sodexo for RFP 2627‑001. The presenter told the board: "The Sodexo proposed total contract is just under $2,200,000 for the 2627 school year." The proposal includes a district return guarantee (presented in meeting as approximately $158,000) and commitments to raise pay for food service employees, as well as improved menu quality and larger portion sizes in secondary schools.
Board members discussed calendar impacts and contract flexibility across school-day ranges; the presenter said the recommended contract allows a range (about 163 to 173 days) so the district's calendar choices would not force a re‑bid. Administration recommended the contract, and the board approved the motion 5–0.
