The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) requires the District to renew its food service contract annually. As part of the renewal process, the District submits financial data to MDE for review. After MDE approval, the Board must also approve the contract. The approval letter from MDE is attached.

The 2026-2027 school year represents the second year of the four (4) allowable one-year renewals permitted by MDE. The Food Service Management Company (FSMC) contract was originally bid for the 2024-2025 school year and will be rebid for the 2029-2030 school year in accordance with state law.
