Summary
Administration proposed a modest increase to lunch prices for the 2026–27 school year; board members noted the large amount of subsidy and approved the change by roll call.
The board approved a modest increase to school meal pricing for the 2026–27 school year after administration presented the recommended rates and explained continuing subsidy needs in the district's lunch program. One trustee remarked on the scale of subsidies, saying it is "amazing how much we subsidized" for meals and asked staff to provide a clearer subsidy breakdown.
Staff said free breakfasts remain subsidized through Department of Agriculture programs and offered to provide a fuller funding breakdown to the board. The motion to change pricing passed by roll call.
