The West Aurora School District board recently voted unanimously to award a food service contract for an estimated $6.5 million for the 2024-25 school year to its current food service provider.
The contract for the coming school year is more expensive than the one approved with OrganicLife back in 2019 for a variety of reasons, district officials said, including significant inflation in food and labor costs which were made worse by the pandemic, the change to the minimum wage in the state which impacted the per meal rate for the district, as well as the cost of some enhancements to the program.
The proposals were evaluated on a 100-point scale of criteria including price, references and experience with similar-sized programs. OrganicLife earned the highest score, Smith said. “When you look at the successes that we have had and that some of the references we received for some of the other vendors were not districts as large as ours or with as many facilities or experience … we believe the best way is to move forward with OrganicLife,” Smith said.
