The contract was given to Chartwells as it came with a guarantee that the state’s food service programme will make earnings of $100,000, above Nutrition Inc’s guaranteed figure of $88,000, reported Indianagazette.com.
IASD business manager Jared Cronauer, IASB president Walter Schroth and directors Ute Lowery, Tamara Leeper, Doug Steve, John Barbor, Thomas Harley and Terry Kerr, voted in favour of the one-year contract.
School director Barbara Barker, who was the only to cast a dissenting vote to the proposal, expressed concern that the profit guarantee may impact the quality of food served to children.
Chartwells’ proposal was reviewed along with Indiana area senior high school principal Wade McElheny and instructional technology coordinator Robert Rizzo.
