More than 9,700 students in 27 schools may potentially be affected by breakfast and lunch price increases that the governing board approved this week.
Genesis Lara Parents with students enrolled at some Tucson Unified schools can expect to pay more for their kids’ meals, after the governing board approved a price hike of 25 cents for breakfast and 20 cents for lunch.
Aguilar noted that the price increases will not affect the other 60 schools in the district, as those still qualify for free meals through the Community Eligibility Provision , a non-pricing meal service through the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Aguilar said the district plans to strongly encourage and help families to apply individually for free or reduced lunch benefits based on their household incomes. She added that families already receiving SNAP benefits or McKinney Vento Act aid for homeless youths will automatically qualify for free or reduced lunch.
That policy did not sit well with board member Sadie Shaw, who voted against the measure along with Natalie Luna Rose. “We’ve made so many decisions based on just a million dollars here and there. That’s a huge amount and, especially, if this is going to be affecting our middle and upper class individuals,” board member Ravi Shah said.
