Board approves $4.50 adult lunch price to meet new state rule
Summary
Citing a state rule tying adult lunch prices to the highest student lunch price, the board voted to raise the adult lunch price to $4.50; breakfast pricing changes were discussed separately.
The Richardton-Taylor School Board voted to raise the adult lunch price to $4.50 after staff outlined a state rule requiring adult lunches to be priced a set increment above the highest student lunch price.
Staff (S3) explained the rule and the math: the highest student lunch price was identified (discussants cited $3.40 or $3.90 in the conversation), and the board computed the required adult price. After brief discussion about staff participation and portion sizes, a board member moved to set the adult lunch price at $4.50; the motion was seconded and carried without recorded opposition.
Board members noted the district provides an adult portion for staff who work through their lunch period and that adult participation rates are substantial enough for the change to be meaningful to food-service revenue.
What’s next: the business office will update reimbursement-rate paperwork and implement the revised adult-lunch pricing.
