Perryton ISD board OKs 10-cent increase for paid lunches; breakfasts unchanged
Summary
Trustees approved a $0.10 increase to paid lunch prices, citing U.S. Department of Education guidance and customary district practice; breakfast prices will remain the same. Vote was 7-0.
Perryton ISD trustees voted to increase the price of paid school lunches by $0.10 while leaving breakfast prices unchanged.
A staff member explained the district follows guidance from the U.S. Department of Education, which recommends a price and an acceptable range; the district selected a price within that range to avoid driving up costs for families. "We're recommending that we go up 10 cents on our meals for our paid meals and we're not recommending a change on breakfast," the staff member said during the presentation. The board approved the price change 7-0.
Board member Mrs. Walker added context, saying the district was behind on meal pricing partly because of a previous one-time 25-cent increase and that the current recommendation was in line with peer districts. The vote allows district nutrition staff to implement the new paid-lunch price for the coming school year; staff said breakfast pricing will remain at current levels.
The change was presented as routine and designed to align the district with federal guidance while minimizing impacts on families.
