Summary
The Pelham City Board of Education approved renewals for foodservice, milk and produce procurement contracts for the 2025-26 school year during its June 4 special-called meeting.
The Pelham City Board of Education approved three procurement contract renewals for the 2025-26 school year, covering supplemental grocery service, milk and produce for school meals.
Dr. Ledbetter presented the contracts, identifying Osborne Foodservice as the supplemental grocery vendor, Forestwood Farms for milk and Regional Produce for fruits and vegetables. Board members moved and seconded approval of each contract; each passed by voice vote.
Board discussion was brief. Dr. Ledbetter described the Osborne Foodservice contract as “regular food service contracts that we normally have” and invited questions. A board member asked whether the district still used purchasing co-ops to aggregate buying power; Dr. Ledbetter confirmed the district does use co-ops.
All three motions were approved by voice vote; no recorded nay votes were given on the transcript.
The approvals cover the 2025-26 school year only. The board did not discuss contract dollar amounts, specific delivery terms, or performance measures in the recorded discussion; those details were not specified in the meeting record.
