Montgomery ISD raised the student breakfast and lunch meal prices by a quarter. This is the first time school lunch prices have been raised since 2016, Chief Operations Officer Kris Lynn said.
Overview
During a June 27 school board meeting, the district approved raising the elementary lunch price from $2.50 to $2.75, and secondary prices were raised from $3.25 to $3.50. Similarly, breakfast prices have been raised from $1.25 to $1.50. Breakfast prices had not been raised since the 2013-14 school year, and lunch prices were last raised in 2016-17, Lynn said.
Lynn said the raising of school lunch prices is due to the United States Department of Agriculture requiring prices be in a certain range. Lynn said due to not having increased the prices in a few years, the district fell outside of that range. He said these increases allow the district to comply with USDA regulations.
