Meal Prices for 2025-2026 School Year
Increased meal prices help cover the costs associated with complying with nutrition guidelines and also help reduce the amount that the district is subsidizing the food program. Yearly review of meal prices are required by the USDA, following policy 6700, and the district must adjust prices when the review indicates the program is not charging enough.
For 2025-2026 – all meals for students in grades TK-5 are Free!
