Board increases adult meal prices to align with federal formula; child nutrition staff warned of corrective action if not adjusted
Summary
District staff recommended raising adult meal prices (breakfast to $3.50, lunch to $5.25) based on the federal cost-recovery formula; trustees approved the increase to avoid transfers from the general fund to child nutrition.
Speaker 6, who presented the child nutrition audit context, explained district adult-meal prices must meet a federal formula used to calculate cost recovery. He said the calculator suggested a $3.43 breakfast price and recommended rounding; trustees heard the staff recommendation to set adult breakfast at $3.50 and adult lunch at $5.25. "So we're gonna do we would like to do 03:50 and for lunch is $5.25," Speaker 6 said.
Staff warned that if the district did not raise adult prices to meet the recommendation the result would be increased transfers from the general fund to the child nutrition fund to cover the shortfall; trustees discussed the likely fiscal impact and then voted to increase the prices at the meeting.
