Board approves transfer of $417,191 and a 25¢ lunch-price increase; minutes approved
Summary
At the same meeting the Region 15 Board approved a $417,191 transfer of excess cost revenue to the educational expense account, unanimously approved a 25¢ increase to school lunch prices for 2025–26, and approved the May 27 meeting minutes.
The Regional School District 15 Board of Education approved three routine but fiscal-impact actions during its meeting.
Transfer of excess cost revenue: The board voted to transfer $417,191 in 2024–25 excess cost revenue into the district's educational expense account. District staff explained these are current-year funds and that the transfer fits authorization limits; no roll-call tally was read in the transcript beyond the board's affirmative voice vote.
Approval of minutes: The board moved and seconded approval of the May 27 regular meeting minutes; the motion passed by voice vote.
School lunch prices: The board approved a 25¢ increase to school lunch prices for the 2025–26 school year. Finance staff said the 25¢ raise moves the district closer to peer districts and helps address shortfalls; the motion was seconded and approved unanimously. Staff noted some districts increased prices by larger amounts but the board settled on 25¢ as a moderate step.
Next procedural steps: The items are effective immediately as budget/accounting and administrative changes; the lunch-price increase will be reflected in the food-service pricing for 2025–26. No further conditions or amendments to these votes were recorded in the transcript.
