Oconee County Schools Considering Ten Cent Increase For Student Lunches

The focus for today’s meeting of the Oconee school trustees will be if and when the public schools re-open. But there’s also the matter of what students will pay for school breakfast and lunch. There will be no change in the cost of a student breakfast the next 12 months, but the trustees will consider a ten cent increase in the cost of a student lunch. The proposed new price is $2.30 for elementary students and $2.50 for students at the secondary level. No changes are planned in the cost for a reduced-price breakfast or lunch. Officials with the school district said the state will set teacher and staff prices later.
