HUTCHINSON, Kan. — School lunch and breakfast prices will remain the same for the next school year if a proposal is approved by the Hutchinson USD 308 School Board during Monday’s agenda session.

The USDA previously required schools to follow guidelines when establishing school meal prices. The requirement is exempt if the school food service account is in good standing. Since the USD 308 food service is financially healthy, meal prices will stay as they are.

That means breakfast will cost $1.40 for all grades, with lunch prices at $2.35 for elementary schools, $2.50 for middle school students and $2.70 for high school students.

Monday’s meeting of the Hutchinson School Board begins at 6 p.m. in the administration center at 1520 N. Plum.
