(KLZA)-- Frustrating. Being punished for being efficient. That is how Auburn Superintendent Kevin Reiman described the needed increase in lunch prices for the 20216-17 school year.
Reiman said despite a healthy lunch fund account, the Board members voted Monday night to increase lunch prices by 10-cents for elementary students and 15-cents for the middle school and high school students and for adults. The lunch prices next year will be $2.60 for elementary students, $2.90 for middle and high school students and $3.40 for adults.
Breakfast prices will remain $1.85.
Superintendent Reiman said due to federal regulations the school district has to charge a minimum amount for meals. Auburn was below that amount. Without raising prices the School District risks losing federal funding for the lunch program
