Board sets student meal prices at $2.50 for breakfast, $4.00 for lunch pending state guidance
Summary
After a food‑service overview and discussion of a reduced fund balance, the board approved a $2.50 breakfast price and $4.00 lunch price for the coming school year while noting final action may depend on state decisions about universal free meals.
The board voted to set student meal prices for the coming school year: breakfast at $2.50 and lunch at $4.00. The food‑service director said the district had not raised prices for the last two years and that a declining fund balance prompted a modest price adjustment; the board approved the recommendation by voice vote.
"Breakfast increased to $2.50. Lunch increased to $4," the chair read as the motion carried. Staff stressed the district will monitor state guidance on universal free meals and said that the increases are unlikely to affect students receiving free meals, although second meals and paid meals would see the change. The board also encouraged continuing outreach to families about free‑and‑reduced applications, which can affect other benefits beyond meals.
