Board approves small increases to adult meal prices, keeps student meals free
Summary
The board approved updated lunch and activity admission pricing: adult lunch will increase to $5.20 and student extra meals to $5.15; student breakfast and lunch remain free and activity admission pricing was adjusted for online and door sales.
Rick presented proposed changes to meal and activity pricing for the 2026–27 school year. He said student breakfast and lunch remain free, but adult lunch will increase to $5.20 and the student extra meal price will be $5.15. Activity admission pricing was updated for online sales and cash-at-door transactions, and the district clarified that residents aged 62 and older will receive free admission regardless of residency verification procedure.
"For the adult prices, there is a minimum adult price that we have to set," Rick said, explaining the adult-price increase follows state guidance and spreadsheet calculations. He added that the district fills out a spreadsheet each year and typically must raise paid prices by a few cents to meet required formulas.
The board approved the lunch prices and fees on a motion recorded in the meeting; staff will communicate the details to families and remind them to complete required forms for free-meal eligibility where applicable.
