Food Services Committee

This year concludes a five-year contract with Chartwells, the vendor who manages food service for all schools. Prior to this five-year contract, the schools provided food service internally. The Regional School Committee, after reviewing the pros and cons of an internal program vs. use of a management vendor, decided to develop a Request For Proposals (RFP) for the future. We will continue to examine other districts and how they approach food service. A Committee is being formed to research food service operations, to survey the parents and students, and to develop criteria and priorities for an RFP. If you wish to be considered for this committee, you can reply to this email or contact Debbie Westmoreland at 362-1823 or westmorelandd@arps.org <mailto:westmorelandd@arps.org> .
