Just curious if your schools allow teachers to buy/have a school lunch? How much does it cost? After the pandemic lunch became free for students and teachers can't purchase them anymore. PrePandemic, lunch was $4 for teachers.

Same price as for students.

We used to have a culinary program that made nice lunches for teachers at a very low cost. But--budget cuts.

We can buy it but it’s more than double what the students pay

Yeah it’s really disgusting drippy slop 🤮 I’d rather go hungry and just run on a measly nutri-bar and water.

I think we pay around $4 and we get the same as the kids, same portions annnd they're getting free lunches this year!!! What a rip off for the teachers and staff!!! I think all staff should have gotten free lunches this year because you don't know what happened within their family, job wise, money-wise, anything wise!!! Just sayin'!!!

It's been fifteen years since I purchased anything from our cafeteria. The students have been getting free lunches, but I never thought to ask what it would mean for us.

$4-something for a meal, free for students. When I forget to cook the day before, I get something, and at least the lunch ladies try to sneak some extra portions/fruit to teacher's plates, since the official portions are supposed to be the same as the kids'.

Paying closer to $5 for 4 mozzarella sticks and green beans ...no thanks!

Free for students and staff-some lunches are good some are horrible.

$5.25 for teachers. Students are free. Teachers get the same lunch as kids, but the lunch ladies are so kind and ask if we want extra entree…no thank you. I only buy if it’s an emergency and it’s not completely disgusting. The salad fixings are pretty good. Still it’s way too pricey for what we get.

Our school is the same as yours.

We can eat the schools lunch! It isn’t bad at all. Very low price.

2.60 for an adult. All students are free

2.50

I think 2.50

That’s what teachers pay for breakfasts; students also eat free

I eat For Free

The kids pay $2.60 lunch in our cafeteria. If they opt for the PB&J lunch with a piece of fruit, it’s free. Teachers pay about $5.

Our cafeteria does serve some great lunches. They always have hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches daily in addition to two hot lunches like stir fry or meatloaf. They even have a different line for pre-made items like salads, wraps, soft pretzels, ice cream, etc. Every Wednesday the cook makes soup the teachers can purchase for $1.50 that goes to charity. The only lunches I think are unappetizing are the lunches that serve bread that is a throwback of the Michelle Obama wheat variety. I rarely ever buy a lunch as I try to get out of the building for that 25 minutes to clear my head and reset for the afternoon.

$3.50 and the cafeteria ladies pile it on for faculty/staff. Free for students.

$3.00… usually buy from the teacher
salad bar — but I think teachers should eat free!
