Clay County is following the Paid Lunch Equity Provision, which makes local food service authorities gradually increase meal prices until they reach the $3.16 federal rate of reimbursement. The statement said the meal price increase helps increase food quality and maintain old equipment and service areas.
The last increase in the Clay County School District meal prices was 2012-2013.
