Trustees approved buying eight bench-style cafeteria tables for Graveraet Elementary from Streich Equipment ($1,743 each) and a double-door reach-in freezer for Bothwell Middle School ($4,697). Both purchases will be funded from the School Lunch Fund and carried on 6-0 votes.

The board approved two school lunch-fund purchases recommended by Food Service Manager Chris Collins. Trustees authorized buying eight bench-style cafeteria tables for Graveraet Elementary from Streich Equipment at $1,743 per table (totaling $13,944) and a double-door reach-in Atosa freezer for Bothwell Middle School from Streich Equipment for $4,697. Both motions passed 6-0.

Collins' written recommendation listed three vendor quotes for the Graveraet tables (Streich Equipment $1,743; JRJ Food Equipment $2,125; HPS $1,841.94) and recommended the lowest responsible bidder. For the freezer, Collins recommended the Atosa unit from Streich Equipment noting prior acceptance of the Atosa brand in the high school kitchen.

The purchases were described as operational replacements to address wear and to support food-service operations. The board approved moving ahead; staff will finalize purchase orders and arrange delivery and installation.
