From the meeting
At its August 12, 2026 meeting, the board approved Manistee Area Public Schools' participation in the Great Lakes Consortium (GLC) cooperative purchasing program for the 2026-2027 school year. The district also authorized bread and milk purchases through the GLC/HPS program and named GLC as the cooperative purchasing agent for USDA Foods. This is a decided food-purchasing channel, and the useful follow-on is understanding annual volume and any related cooperative contract renewals.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
