How much do you pay for school lunch?

[nsyncraider17]

Lunch is $1.65 at the elementary, middle, and jr. high schools in my district.

At the high school everything is a la carte, and the prices range from .75 cents for a bagel to a few dollars for a sandwich or pasta from the salad bar.

I remember when i lived in Virginia, and lunch was $.95!

$1.40 plus I give them each an extra $.50 for ice cream on Fridays.

Our lunches are $1.95 for elementary. Not sure what the middle and high schools are. For that $1.95, the kids get a delicious, nutritious lunch served with a great big smile, every day!

$1.75 in the middle school-plus he usually spends an extra .30 for a second milk-
I have no idea what the HS charges-he gets $20.00 per week to spend as he chooses-some weeks he buys gas and comes home to eat-some weeks he eats at school-some times he eats out.

At my HS the lunch was a la carte and any decent lunch would cost $3.50-4.50

At my daughters school we pay $780 (approx $500 U.S) for the whole school year.

$1.95 a day for elementary school here. That is if they don't raise it for this school year.

Middle School thru High School is $1.60 for lunch, elementary is $1.30. Breakfast is $1.05...but there is an ala carte for the older age groups that most kids choose to eat in, and it runs around $4 or so a day for a meal.

You guys are mostly really lucky! My elementary kids pay $2.25 for lunch--it will be $2.50 or $2.75 next year when DD#1 hits middle school.
I only let my girls buy 3 or 4 times a month and we pack every night for the next day.

I don't know what they are charging now around here but Iwas told this by a friend ... Thye no longer allow children to bring lunch here. They said they would lose fundign if they could not guarentee that all kids were getting a balanced meal. I can't believe they are doing this. Well yes I can. The school system here is really messed up.
