We are now required by law to raise the paid lunch price in order to be equitable to the category free reimbursement rate of $2.77 per lunch served

What are our Options?What are our Options?

Option 1 – Increase paid lunch by $.10 for Camelview, Simis, Rose Lane, MTA & Heights. Increase Park paid lunch by $.25 to be the same price as Madison #1 and Meadows.

A price increase would happen again the following year.

Option 2 – A direct payment from school district funds (M&O) to food service paid lunches account. This would be approximately $14,200.00.

The minimum required increase to the average paid lunch price is

10 cents each school year. This would be done annually until a paid

lunch price is equitable to the free reimbursement rate. We are able

to increase prices more than 10 cents per year and would be

credited in following years for the additional increase.
