Board keeps FY26 prices unchanged for student lunches and athletic fees; hazardous‑walking resolution approved
Summary
At its July 28 meeting the board approved routine annual items: the FY26 hazardous walking conditions resolution, kept lunch prices unchanged (with staff urging families to complete free/reduced applications), and maintained athletic fees at current levels.
The board approved three routine fiscal items July 28: the fiscal‑year 2026 hazardous walking conditions resolution, FY26 lunch prices with no change, and FY26 athletic fees with no change. Administration said the hazardous walking conditions resolution is routine and that transportation staff reviewed the designated hazardous areas; no changes were required. On lunches, the district recommended keeping prices flat for the coming year; staff said current revenue slightly exceeds costs but cautioned that rising food costs could require small increases (they mentioned a likely rise of between 5¢ and 15¢ in a future year as determined by state guidance). Staff urged families to complete free and reduced lunch applications because those numbers affect Title I funding eligibility. On athletics, staff said fees offset roughly half of program costs (referees and coaching stipends) and recommended no increase this year. All three items were approved by recorded roll‑call votes among members present.
