Second meals are available at a slightly higher price.
Schools participating in the National School Lunch Program receive federal, state and sometimes local funds for each student meal they serve. This reimbursement makes up the difference between what the lunch costs to produce and what the student pays. Although the amount of federal reimbursement per lunch depends on the economic need of the student, reimbursement keeps the cost of lunch low for all students. Our schools receive a variety of commodity foods such as lean ground beef, chicken, turkey roasts, breakfast meats, eggs, grains, fruits and vegetables and other products from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Often, these commodity foods are of higher quality than what you buy in retail grocery stores.
