School District 155 boosts lunch by 30 cents – to $2.80
CRYSTAL LAKE – A slightly more expensive lunch this fall in District 155 aims to balance increased food costs and federal mandates – all without hitting parents where it hurts most, their pocketbooks.
The school board last month unanimously approved the 30-cent increase – to $2.80 – for student lunches. The price for the student deli and adult lunches will remain the same at $3.75.
The district's food costs rose 4 percent in the past year, and it has increased meal prices annually since 2007, documents show.
