JOHNSBURG – Lunch rates will be the only fee increased at Johnsburg’s schools. The District 12 school board voted to increase the cost of student lunches by 10 cents and adult lunches by 30 cents at its meeting last week.

The rest of the district’s fees, including for registration, sports, activities and parking, will stay the same.

School board members and administrators decided to freeze fees because residents are having a “difficult time with the economy and we want to try to help our families any way we can,” Superintendent Dan Johnson said.
