Johnston County school lunch costs up this year15 August 2007 — Johnston County Schools lunch prices will be going up 10¢ over last year. The school board approved the following prices at their August meeting Tuesday afternoon: K-8 lunch - $1.90 9-12 lunch - $2.15 K-12 breakfast $1.25 Adult breakfast - $1.75 Adult lunch $2.75 Associate Superintendent Ann Williams presented the request, stating that increased transportation costs were impacting the costs of food, and that adding additional serving lines at some schools had increase the amount of equipment needed for serving the students. She went on to say the school system was trying to “break even,” not making or losing money, but some items will go up or down in cost during the school year. She later presented the milk bids for the school system. The previous contractor had a bid of 16¢ a carton. The low bid for this year was 23¢, an increase of 7¢ over last year. The bid was on an “escalator,” meaning the price could go up or down based on cost factors. Mrs. Williams recommended that the bid, submitted by Pet Dairy of North Wilkesboro, with the escalator clause, be accepted. She said that in discussion with the NC Milk Commission, they are expecting a price decrease after October, and she felt the system would benefit from the variable cost.
