III.F. Price Increase for Meals
Charlotte Lewis
Rationale

DECISION PAPER

TO:                Members of the Nelson County Board of Education

FROM:            Charlotte Lewis, Director of School Nutrition

CC:                Anthony Orr, Superintendent

SUBJECT:        Price Increase for Meals

DATE:             April 17, 2012

ISSUE:            The Food Service Department would like to request a price increase for school lunches for the 2012-2013 school year.

FACTS:            Federal regulation was passed effective July 1, 2011 that schools are required to charge students for paid meals at a price on average equal to the difference between free meal reimbursement and paid meal reimbursement. 

DISCUSSION:   Reimbursement for free lunch is $2.77 and reimbursement for a paid lunch is .26.  That would require full paid lunch prices to be $2.51.  We were allowed to keep our prices the same this year because we chose to cover the difference with non-federal funds.  That money is no longer available.  We are allowed to spread the increase over a few years until we reach the full amount required.               

 CONCLUSION:  We recommend a price increase of .25 for all lunch meals in order to follow federal regulation.  Elementary lunch will be $1.75 and Middle and High School lunch will be $2.00. 

RECOMMENDATION MOTION:  I move that we approve the meal prices as listed above.
