Districts are not required to submit the Paid Lunch Equity tool to the CDE School Nutrition Unit or increase paid student prices for School Year 2022-23. This allows schools to price their paid lunches at a level that best addresses local needs. This flexibility does not apply to adult lunch prices. Districts are still encouraged to review their budget and assess paid lunch prices using the PLE tool to ensure costs are covered and the paid lunch prices this school year don’t adversely affect the nonprofit food service account in future years. Updated resources can be found on the PLE webpage.
