2013-2014 Lunch Price

We were notified by our state consultant that our proposed lunch prices do not meet the new USDA paid lunch equity requirement - the USDA updated the system in the middle of June.  The concept of the USDA requirement is to make the paid lunches support themselves and not rely on any of the Federal or State free and reduced money to support those lunches.  Therefore, lunch fees need to be increased an additional five cents to $1.85 per elementary lunch and $2.05 for Middle School and High School lunches.  The state average lunch price is $2.50.  Superintendent Wells recommends you approve the new lunch prices.
