Rising Costs of School Meals Survey Results

CA Budget Alert:
The Budget was approved by the Legislature and signed by the Governor.  Prop. 98 K-12 funding was fully funded except for COLA, costing schools $2.9 billion.  We still have the problem created by CDE’s low estimate of meals to be served, creating a for certain reduction in reimbursements for the last fiscal quarter of 2009, much like the last quarter of 2008 (May and June 2008).
