Continuing Our Commitment to Nutritious Meals: Adult Meal Price Update

We take great pride in providing nutritious, high-quality meals that support the health and well-being of our scholars each day. As part of our ongoing commitment to sustaining a strong and compliant School Nutrition Program, this notice is to inform you that, effective March 1, 2026, adult meal prices will increase as follows:

• Breakfast: $4.00

• Lunch: $5.00

• Supper: $5.00

This adjustment has been approved by the Board of Trustees and is required under federal regulations to maintain compliance with United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines for the National School Lunch Program. Federal requirements mandate that adult meal prices reflect the full cost of meal production, including food, labor, and operational expenses.

We appreciate your continued support of the JPS Nutrition Program. If you have any questions regarding this change, please contact the Office of Child Nutrition at 601-960-9811.
