Motion to fund free lunches for paid-status students fails after no second
Summary
A proposal to cover lunches for paid-status students so all Royal ISD students would eat free for 2025–26 was moved but went unseconded and failed; administration estimated the cost would exceed $50,000.
Trustee Elton Foster moved to approve covering the cost of lunches for paid-status students so that all students at Royal Prairie Elementary would eat free during the 2025–2026 school year. The motion was not seconded and therefore failed. The agenda lists the proposed cost as being over $50,000.
The motion record shows the board considered the proposal but did not proceed to a vote after it lacked a second. The minutes do not record further discussion, alternatives or sources of offsetting funds. The item was listed under New Business and appears as a non-action in the meeting record.
