School board to vote on Chartwells contract

The Stanwood-Camano School Board will vote on whether or not to authorize a contract with Chartwells for food service management at the noon regular meeting tomorrow.
Gary Platt, executive director of business and operations, recommended the adoption of the proposal in a memo to the school board. In the memo, Platt said Chartwells is the only management company that submitted a proposal prior to the deadline, and none of the four applicants for a food service manager were viable.
The district's food service program was recently featured in an investigative report printed in the Stanwood/Camano NEWS June 2 edition, entitled "At a loss."
