After two years of funding from the American Rescue Plan Act, school lunches will be back to being paid for by parents in the Lisbon School District next year.
The school board approved making a $0.10 increase for breakfast and lunches for students at the district, as well as a $0.05 increase for milk.
For students in preschool through fifth grade, that would mean a $3.15 per meal price for school lunch, in sixth through eighth grade that would amount to $3.20 per meal and students in 9-12 grade would be $3.25.
The cost for an adult meal will line up with what should be federally. Breakfast increased to $2.10 per student, and milk would be $0.55.
The lunch fees were the only increases proposed for the school year, with instrument rental and activity passes remaining the same.
School board member Abbe Stensland said families could pay lunch accounts all 12 months of a year, not just dduring the school year.
