11. Action Item: Increase Adult Meal Prices Presenter: Shannon Coats Description: Every year, we are required to evaluate our adult meal pricing to ensure it is equitable to what we receive for student meals and that it offsets our costs. Since our district is running the Community Eligibility Program all students will eat breakfast and lunch at no cost to them. The price increase we are requesting this year is for the Adult meal prices only. TDA has created the Adult Meal Pricing Worksheet to use for this purpose. We utilize this worksheet before the beginning of each school year to determine the prices for our Adult Meals. This worksheet is attached. This year, I am requesting permission to raise adult meal prices as follows on 09/01/2026: SY 2025-2026        PROPOSED PRICE SY 2026-2027 ADULT BREAKFAST    $3.50                        no change ADULT LUNCH            $5.25                        $5.35
