Board picks Chartwells to help run school meals
What happened
On September 28, 2026 the board approved a proposal from Chartwells to manage food service. Sargent is doing this together with the Mountain Valley and Moffat districts. Local staff would keep cooking, and Chartwells would run the operation.
Why it matters to families
This could change school breakfast and lunch menus and how the kitchen is run. The district hopes it will stop pulling money from the main budget to cover meals.
The evidence
September 28, 2026 regular meeting minutes record a 5-0 vote to approve the Chartwells RFP response. The superintendent said it was a good financial decision. Earlier May 2026 reports describe the regional plan and the goal of ending the general fund subsidy.
