Board approves to increase for breakfast, lunch prices

By Keith Merrill | For The Gazette

Coming this fall, school breakfast and lunches will increase after Pittsburg Independent School District trustees unanimously approved the measures at their June 19 meeting.
Jean Carrell, director of CTE/ELL Services presented a report to the school board that was broken into two segments -- adult meal pricing and student lunch pricing.
She reported that current pricing for adult meals is not in compliance with applicable guidelines. 
Carrell recommended that adult meal prices be increased from $3.50 to $3.75 to bring the program into compliance.  
The increase would become effective during the 2017-18 school year.
