If approved by the school board, the cost of a lunch at Coupeville Middle/High School will jump by 40 cents a day starting this fall.
In a memo to Superintendent Steve King, Finance Director Brian Gianello and the school’s Connected Food Program call for the cost to go from $3.45 to $3.85.
The change, which is on the agenda for Thursday’s school board workshop, would be the first price raise since the 2018-2019 school year.
That workshop, which can be attended by the public, is set for 5:30 PM in the Kathleen Anderson Boardroom at CHS.
Workshops, unlike regular board meetings, are not streamed.
The lunch price change will affect only the secondary school, and not Coupeville Elementary, thanks to the National School Lunch Program.
That program requires elementary schools to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students if 30% of the student body qualifies for free or reduced-price meals.
Coupeville Elementary currently sits at 38.05%.
State legislators have not stepped up to implement a similar program for secondary schools, however.
CHS/CMS offers lunch, but there is no plan to add a breakfast option for the 2024-2025 school year, according to the memo.
