Academy ISD sets 2026–27 student meal prices; reduced-price rates left at federal floor
Summary
The Academy ISD Board approved meal prices for 2026–27 at its July 22 meeting: high-school/middle-school lunch $3.25, elementary lunch $3.00, breakfasts $2.00, and reduced-price meals at federal minimums (reduced lunch $0.40; reduced breakfast $0.30).
The Academy Independent School District Board on July 22 approved the district’s 2026–27 child nutrition meal prices after a presentation from Michelle Tish.
Tish presented the recommended rates: reduced lunch at "$0.40 (or as approved by USDA; could be free)" and reduced breakfast at "$0.30 (or as approved by USDA; could be free)." Regular student prices set by the board were: high school/middle school lunch $3.25 and breakfast $2.00; early childhood/elementary/intermediate lunch $3.00 and breakfast $2.00. The board approved the recommendation on a motion from Jennifer Burnett, seconded by Dana White; the recorded vote was 6–0 with one member absent. The minutes show adult meal prices were set at $5.50 for lunch and $3.50 for breakfast.
Board members framed the vote as an operational decision for the nutrition services program; no public comment was recorded on the item. The action will be incorporated into the district’s child nutrition billing for the coming school year.
