Allentown School District food services staff recommended July 24 that the board approve a one‑year contract with Pocono Mountain Dairies to supply dairy products for the 2025–26 school year at a cost of $533,465.50.
Presenters said the district serves roughly 20,000 milk units per day—about 3.6 million units annually—so milk procurement typically happens through a consortium process. This year, staff said, the district solicited a direct vendor for milk and recommended Pocono Mountain Dairies based on volume and supply considerations.
The finance committee asked no substantive questions and moved the item forward; the board carried the motion at committee level to bring the contract to the regular meeting for final approval.
Discussion only: staff explained procurement rationale and annual volume estimates.
Direction/assignment: move contract authorization forward for full board consideration.
Formal action: committee moved the contract item forward; final approval will be recorded at the regular board meeting.
