Yuma Elementary School District raises adult meal prices to meet USDA pricing guidance
Summary
The board approved increasing adult breakfast and lunch prices to $3.25 and $5.05 to comply with USDA adult meal pricing guidance after staff said the district was out of compliance; the motion passed by voice vote.
The Yuma Elementary School District governing board on June 29 approved increasing adult meal prices after administration told the board the district was out of compliance with the United States Department of Agriculture's adult meal-pricing guidance.
Administration said the current adult breakfast price was $3.00 and adult lunch $5.00 and that federal and state rules require adult meal prices to fully cover meal costs, including commodities, and not be subsidized by student payments or federal/state funds. To bring the district into compliance with USDA guidance, staff recommended raising adult breakfast to $3.25 and adult lunch to $5.05. (The meeting transcript records the proposed prices as "325" and "505" without dollar notation; the board approved the adjustment.)
A motion to approve the price increases was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. The board recorded the motion as passing and adjourned the meeting.
