CES95 adopts adult meal prices under USDA guidance: $3.45 breakfast, $5.25 lunch
Summary
Following guidance tied to CEP participation and USDA rules, the Carbondale ESD 95 board set adult breakfast at $3.45 and adult lunch at $5.25 for the 2025-26 school year.
Chief School Business Official Janiece Blake explained that because the district participates in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), adult meal prices must be set at $0.50 above the highest paid student rate and no less than $0.50 above the free reimbursement. Based on those calculations, the district recommended adult breakfast at $3.45 and adult lunch at $5.25.
The board voted to adopt those prices during new-business action 8.4; the motion carried by roll call with all members voting yes. The change applies to adult meal purchases for the 2025-26 school year and was presented as part of routine Food Services business.
