Summary

The board approved renewal of the district's food-service management contract, which the minutes say was reviewed and approved by the Michigan Department of Education. The recorded contract dates in the minutes appear inconsistent and are noted for clarification.

Deputy Superintendent Lisa Anderson presented a renewal of the district's food-service management contract and told the Board the renewed contract "has been reviewed and approved by the Michigan Department of Education (MDE)." The Board approved the renewal on a motion from Treasurer Laura Zervic on behalf of the Finance Committee; the motion passed unanimously.

The minutes record the contract as "effective from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026," which is internally inconsistent (the end date precedes or duplicates the start year). The minutes do not provide a contract value, vendor name, or the department responsible for implementation; the board indicated MDE review was completed. The district's Business Manager McElroy was noted to be engaged in related budget discussions and will provide further information as available.
