Show Increase in school lunch charges approved by board In a special Board of Education Edu-cation Meeting held August 6, school lunch prices were increased 5 cents per meal per person. The prices for the li)(9-70 school year will be as follows: Elementary students, 30 cents; Junior and Senior High students, 35 cents; and Adults 40 cents. This price change was reluctantly re-luctantly made because of the philosophy of wanting to provide pro-vide a quality lunch at a low price to customers. However, since the food service receipts re-ceipts and expenditures narrowly nar-rowly balanced for the 1908-69 1908-69 school year, it was obvious that all increased labor (minimum wage goes up 15 cent per hour) and food costs (5 or 6f, ) would create a deficit for the 1969-70 school year. |
