The Lansing School Board was presented with the numbers on the school meals program at the August 8 regular meeting. The program is losing money. Interim Business Administrator Gary Alger suggested a two pronged attack: raise the price of regular breakfast and lunch meals by 25 cents, milk by 10 cents and raise the prices a la carte items drastically.
The district receives 22 cents from the federal government and 6.5 cents from the state, for a total of $.285 for each meal sold. The problem is that many Middle and High School students have been buying their meals a la carte, which does not qualify for the reimbursement.

The school meals program has a problem. They are operating in the red because they don't sell enough lunches to qualify for enough state and federal aid to both keep prices down and pay for the program. They don't sell enough meals, because too many students are buying their meals à la carte. The à la carte meals don't have the three approved items that are required to count as a meal for reimbursement purposes.
