  2. School Lunch Pricing • School lunch prices will need to be increased for the upcoming school year 2019 - 2020 based on the Paid Lunch Equity Provision. This USDA provision's intent is to ensure that sufficient funds are provided to the nonprofit food service account for paid lunches and it Requires an annual evaluation of paid lunch prices. • The last price increase was enacted in 2016 where lunch prices went from $2.25 to $2.35. • Current prices Proposed prices • Visitors $4.00 $4.25 • Teachers $3.25 $3.50 • Students $2.35 $2.65 • Lunch prices increases are based on a calculation from a USDA data sheet called the Paid Lunch Equity tool that is mandatory to be calculated yearly.

  3. Universal Breakfast • Universal breakfast is designed to provide free breakfast for all children. The Community Eligibility Provision or (CEP) will allow schools in high-poverty areas to provide free breakfasts and lunch to all students, using preexisting data to determine the eligibility of kids to receive free nutrition assistance. • However, for the schools that are not CEP it costs the CNP program to provide free breakfast due to the reimbursement rates. Our average USDA reimbursement rate for the non-CEP schools is $1.05 each but the average cost of a breakfast meal $1.25 each. • For example, in May 2019 Goldsmith-Schiffman Elementary, which is a Non-CEP Universal Breakfast school, served 5,571 breakfasts. The reimbursement was $2669.71. We received $.48 per each meal under the universal breakfast program which cost the child nutrition program (-$2399.90) to execute.

  4. Universal Breakfast cont. • In the same month of May, Roger B. Chaffee Elementary, which is a CEP school, served 5,588 breakfasts. Their reimbursement was $10,701.11. We received $1.92 per meal and generated revenue of $5,113.10. • In FY 2018 there were 444,495 breakfast served at the Non-CEP schools. These meals produced a cost of $555,617.50. The reimbursement totals for these meals were $483,310 which calculates to an annual cost of (-$72,316). • It is not financially beneficial for the district to go forward with the Universal Breakfast program for the schools that do not qualify for CEP status.
