Lanesboro School Board members met briefly on Thursday, July 19th for the regular monthly meeting. All board members were present at this meeting along with Superintendent Jeff Boggs. A few important items were on agenda and were for discussion between board members.

First, the board looked at bread and milk bids. After reviewing the bids, board members entertained a motion to accept a bid from Sara Lee to make the company the bread supplier for the 2012-2013 school year. Second, the board entertained a motion to accept a milk bid from Ziebell’s for the 2012-2013 school year.

Next, the board continued discussion with the district’s food service finances. Superintendent Boggs passed on that the federal government recommended raising lunch and breakfast prices five cents. The board looked at the prices from last year and agreed to raise lunch and breakfast prices for all students Kindergarten through twelfth grade by five cents. Now breakfast will cost $1.20, elementary lunches will be $1.85, and high school lunches will be $2.15. All adult prices for lunch and breakfast will remain the same. Also, all annual juice and milk prices will remain the same.

Finally, the board addressed that 3 seats on the Lanesboro School Board this fall. In order to be placed on the ballot as a contender for one of the seats, requirements must be met. The filing time window to be on the ballot for the autumn election is July 31st, 2012 to August 14th, 2012.
