Efforts to address rising food costs for school lunches ［学校給食の食材費高騰に対応］
Due to the recent price increase and the rise in transportation and other costs associated with soaring oil prices,
the cost of food used in school lunches has also risen dramatically. To date, we have taken measures suchas devising ingredients and menu items, but there are concerns about the impact on nutritional balance, etc.
Therefore, we will utilize the government's Temporary Grant for Regional Development in Response to COVID-19
Infections to increase the current cost of ingredients by approximately 10%.
The town will bear the cost of this increase so that parents will not have to pay more,
and will strive to provide school lunches that maintain the same quality and quantity as in the past.
As an effort to reduce the burden on households raising children, the town has been expanding
the amount of school lunch fees paid by the town since 2014. Since it will be combined with this EFFORT,
the town will pay approximately 36% of the cost of school lunches starting in July.
For detail, please contact the Educational Guidance Division (Kyoiku Shido-ka) in Oizumi Town Hall at 0276-63-3111 (ext.342).
