Winslow School District’s facilities contractor was not performing to the District’s satisfaction, principals were not pleased with the services, and the buildings were not clean.

“Originally, our facilities contractor was not performing to our satisfaction. Edvocate inspected our schools reviewed our specifications and contract. They determined what was in the contract and what needed to be changed to deliver the services to our satisfaction. They restructured the contract within the current price structure and was able to get the contractor to provide more management oversight and higher staff wages thereby improving services.

We were so satisfied we retained their service for on-going contract monitoring and just renewed their contract for another year, this is our second renewal with them.”

Holmdel, NJ – Holmdel Public Schools has once again renewed it’s contract with Edvocate School Support Solutions to provide Program Monitoring Services for their contracted food service program.

“Looking for expert school food service consultants, we originally brought Edvocate in to manage our food services RFP process nine years ago. They did a great job in managing the process and negotiating a very favorable contract for us with the food service management company and the food service program went from a deficit to a surplus operation in excess of $100K per year. Because of that we hired them to provide on-going contract monitoring of our food service program. Now ten years later they continue to provide a high level of service that address our needs and helps us deal with issues that arise. Working with the contracted food service company, student, staff and parent satisfaction have increased. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Edvocate School Support Solutions”
