3.6. Accept Dairy Bid
Discussion:
For the past several years, the district has utilized Kemps for our milk supply. This occurred through a cooperative purchasing agreement, therefore local bids were not necessary. Kemps is no longer willing to meet the district's delivery needs, therefore we opened the service up for further bids. Prairie Farms placed a competitive bid that fits with our desired cost, delivery and supply needs. Please see the attached for the bid pricing sheet.
Acceptance of this bid is recommended.

3.7. Set Milk Price
Discussion:
It is being recommended that milk prices be set at .50 cents per carton for the 2023-2024 school year. 1 milk is free with breakfast and 1 with lunch, but any "extra" milk is paid for as an ala carte item. This is a 10 cent increase from 2022-2023.
This action is recommended by Stacy Bagous, Food Service Director, and Wade McKittrick, Superintendent. |

3.8. Ratification of the 2023-2025 Contract with the Montevideo Principals
Discussion:
