Act on 2023-2024 Breakfast/Lunch Prices
Background:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has established minimum price requirements for adult paid school meals. Student breakfast and lunch for 2023-24 will be served at no charge. This is due to the Minnesota Free School Meals for Kids Program that was passed and signed on March 17, 2023. This includes one breakfast and one lunch per student. Additional milk, entrees and ala carte items will need to be purchased with lunch account funds.
