FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: The legislation states that schools will receive

FAQ’S RELATED TO OUR DISTRICT Q: There is a provision within the legislation that calls for
a mandatory increase in the prices charged for paid meals. How will this work?
A: Effective the school year beginning July 1, 2011,
school nutrition programs will be required to move towards charging paid meal category students at a price that is on average equal to the difference between free meal reimbursement and paid meal reimbursement. Schools that charge less than this amount are required to gradually increase their prices over time until they meet the requirement. The law establishes a maximum annual increase in the federally required paid increases of 10 cents annually, but schools may choose to increase the price at a higher amount.
