Summary:
|
The Nutrition Services Department participates in The National School Lunch Program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. To participate in this program, the District must provide free, reduced and paid meals to students depending on their meal eligibility. The USDA requires that School Food Authorities (SFA) paid meal price exceed the Federal reimbursement rate, currently at $2.78. Currently, our price for paid meals is $2.50. In order to meet the Federal requirement we must increase our paid meal price to be above the Federal meal reimbursement amount. Nutrition Services is requesting authorization to increase their paid meal price by $0.25 to $2.75 for the 2017-18 school year and by an additional $0.25 to $3.00 for the 2018-19 school year.
Additionally, since the Federal reimbursement rate is recalculated annually via the Paid Lunch Equity (PLE) Calculator, Nutrition Services is requesting to increase their paid lunch price in increments of 25 cents when it falls below the federal minimum requirement according to the PLE.
