The Avonworth School Board could vote Monday to increase the price of breakfasts and lunches offered at the schools by 20 cents per meal.

District finance director Brad Waters said at the board’s work session on Monday that meal prices had not increased in three years, and were less than what other districts charged.

Waters said that the food service program at Avonworth generally breaks even or makes a small profit, requiring no contribution from the district’s general fund. As with any other program, however, production costs have increased, Waters said.

Board member Jeff Schmid asked whether the money made by the food service from running the football game concession stand last year could be used to offset the increased costs. No one was sure exactly what was made from the concession.

The increase would bring the price of lunch at the high school to $1.90, and to $1.80 at the elementary school. Breakfast would cost $1.
