Board approves 10cent student-lunch price increase for 2026–27
Summary
Board approved a 10cent increase to student lunch prices, citing higher staff wages, rising food/fuel costs, maintenance needs and diminished federal reimbursements; administration said fund 50 is separate from the general fund.
Administration recommended a 10cent increase to student lunch prices for the 2026–27 school year, citing rising staff wages and insurance costs, higher food and fuel prices, and lower federal reimbursements. The presenter said the district's lunch prices are below consortium averages and that Fund 50 (food service) is a separate fund that is over budget for health-care and maintenance costs.
Board members asked clarifying questions about federal reimbursement rates and whether the increase affects free-and-reduced eligibility; administration said eligibility rules would not change. A motion to approve the 10cent increase was moved, seconded, and passed by voice vote.
