Ever wonder why you pay so much more than your kid for school lunch?
Having had more than my fair share of school lunches in recent years, I always wondered why the adult price for the same meal was much higher than the student price at schools (sometimes a difference of up to 75 cents). Tonight the Food and Nutrition Services department gave Arlington trustees an update on operations and solved the mystery for me. Schools get federal reimbursement for meals sold to students to off set the cost. They get no funds for serving adults.
