Board approves student meal prices; transcript shows inconsistency on breakfast amount
Summary
The board approved recommended student meal prices for 2026–27; the presenter proposed high-school lunch at $3.50 and discussed breakfast pricing, but the transcript contains an internal inconsistency about the breakfast figure (presenter described it as a 50¢ increase while the numeric amount recorded does not match).
The district's food-service presenter recommended aligning meal prices with peer high schools and asked the board to approve prices for the 2026–27 school year. The presenter said the survey of 39 districts showed an average high-school lunch of $3.54 and recommended setting the district's high-school lunch at $3.50.
On breakfast pricing the presenter described the change as a "50¢ increase" but the numeric breakfast price recorded in the transcript is inconsistent: the presenter said breakfast is at $2.20 and stated, "and I'm recommending $2," followed immediately by, "That is a 50¢ increase in breakfast." The presenter also said reduced-price meals would remain no cost for families, and that the after-school meal program will continue at no cost through the 2028–29 school year via a child-nutrition program.
Board members thanked staff for maintaining the after-school option and then voted to approve the student meal prices as presented.
Because the transcript contains a conflicting arithmetic statement about the breakfast price (an apparent mismatch between the numeric recommendation and the described 50¢ increase), the exact approved breakfast dollar amount should be confirmed with district food-service records before publication of an official fee schedule.
