Revenue sources include local meal sales (45.9%) and state and federal revenues (54.10%). Federal reimbursement subsidizes all reimburseable (student) meals. This allows for meals to be offered free and at a reduced price to qualifying students as well as at a reasonable price for paying students. The USDA Commodity program is another form of federal assistance that allows for additional meal price reduction (.177 per plate). |
