Board approves $3.25 breakfast price for employees, visitors to comply with federal rule
Summary
To comply with a federal requirement the Limestone County Board of Education approved raising the local price for employee and visitor breakfast to $3.25 beginning in school year 2026–2027 after brief discussion and a board vote.
The Limestone County Board of Education voted to set the local price for employee and visitor breakfast at $3.25 — an increase of $0.25 — to comply with federal regulations for the 2026–2027 school year.
Dr. Maples offered the motion to set the price and Mr. Young seconded. During discussion a board member asked why the board needed to vote if the federal regulation already required the $3.25 minimum; other members said the vote establishes the local price formally and some anticipated complaints about any increase.
Board members noted that systems sometimes charge more than the minimum but must set a local price to remain in compliance. The motion carried as recorded in the meeting transcript; the board moved on after the vote.
The board's action was framed as a compliance and administrative step with an effective date tied to the 2026–2027 school year.
