Jamestown  (CSi)  The Jamestown Public School Board Monday heard concerns about  food service in the district.

Superintendent Dr. Robert Lech said through the early part of this school year, concerns included the receipt of stock that has been “regularly problematic.”

Dr. Lech said that NDESC schools were informed by food service provider, Cashway that they would no longer honor their bid and stop their services after November 2nd.

The Jamestown Public School District has received service from Cashway. In previous years, the district joined the North Dakota Education Services Cooperative (NDESC) 5 years ago. The NDESC conducts its own bidding for food services to maximize savings.

Food Service Director Joseph Oster has privately discussed service with other providers to service Jamestown Public Schools.

Superintendent Lech says the board  needs to determine if bidding for food service would be a better option, to do on their own.  Another choice is if they would like to continue working through NDESC in the future.
