School cafeterias going private?

3 CNSU schools may be turning to private food service providers in an effort to save money and improve their cafeterias.

CNSU officials met with bidders from three private food service companies two weeks ago at the Lyndon Town School to discuss if privatizing the schools' food services departments would actually cut costs for the schools. Such a move in the past has proven successful in Vermont's larger schools.

Operations Manager Tom Petit says the bidders were looking at Lyndon's kitchen to see how efficient it is and how they could make it more efficient in terms of serving kids and managing costs.

The CNSU will be receiving more bids from food service providers in the coming days before making an official decision.
