At the April 3, 2025 meeting, the School Committee received and discussed the following presentations:

The Committee heard a presentation on the comprehensive RFP bidding and selection process for a new food service contract. Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations Cindy Mahr led the presentation on this process that resulted in the recommendation of Chartwells School Dining Services for a one-year contract that will allow for four (4) additional contract extensions, based upon Wellesley’s satisfaction with the ongoing operations. The contract will begin in FY’26. Special thanks to Cindy Mahr for leading this work along with members of the selection review committee!

The Committee then heard a presentation of the RFP bidding and selection process for a vendor to conduct a security audit. Dr. Lussier led the discussion of the audit which will provide a comprehensive assessment of school safety, security risk, and vulnerability assessments for WPS and make detailed physical and procedural recommendations based upon the findings. All WPS schools and their administrative offices will be assessed. The School Committee will take action on this recommendation at an upcoming meeting.
