During a public hearing on child nutrition, the board reviewed a staff proposal to raise the student lunch price to $3.50.

Trustees discussed the recommendation and heard no recorded public objections; Susan Yardley moved to approve the proposed meal fee increase and the motion carried 5–0. The change will be reflected in Child Nutrition accounting and communicated to families through the district’s channels.

Why it matters: Changes in meal pricing affect families and the district’s nutrition program revenues and are subject to state nutrition program rules. The board adopted the increase after the required public hearing.
