Holcomb school board ends Coca-Cola contract seeks Pepsi bid
The USD 363 Holcomb School Board voted to terminate its beverage contract with Coca-Cola due to concerns at Holcomb middle and high schools about vending machine fills and late concessions. It also moved to pursue a three year Pepsi contract providing 100 percent fruit juice water and concessions, possibly starting January. The board heard a security system recommendation from Superintendent Skip Landis and approved pursuing cost estimates. The filing date for next spring's election is noon January 23 with several board seats up.
