Board authorizes cooperative purchasing through Delaware-Chenango-Madison-Otsego BOCES and joint food bids
Summary
The board authorized participation in cooperative purchasing services for 2026–27 through Delaware-Chenango-Madison-Otsego BOCES and designated the Evening Sun as the legal publication for bid notifications; the board also approved joint bidding for food and cafeteria supplies.
The board approved resolutions to participate in cooperative purchasing for the 2026–27 school year through the Delaware-Chenango-Madison-Otsego BOCES. The cooperative purchasing resolution cites "General Municipal Law, Section 119-o" as the authorization for joint bidding and designates the Evening Sun as the legal publication to run notices. The Food & Cafeteria Supplies resolution authorizes joint bidding for food and paper items and appoints a committee of participating schools to handle drafting specifications and tabulating bids.
Minutes record the board's vote to approve the related business-office resolutions (G1–G3) as Yes-4, No-0. The cooperative approach delegates the drafting, advertising, bid opening and tabulation to BOCES and anticipates participating districts will conduct final negotiations directly with awarded bidders.
