[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What am I packing for lunch? Nothing. 4 kids 10 and under in DCPS. Hot lunch is cheap. If they don't like what's on the menu they can make themselves a lunch.[/quote] How much is lunch? In FCPS it's like $3 a day. So 3x4=12, and 12x5=60, and let's say there are about 40 weeks of school that's $2,400 for the school year! Seems a lot to me. My child buys on average once a month, probably less. [/quote] http://dcps.dc.gov/page/meal-prices-and-payment Per the website, lunches are $2.10 in elementary school. $1680 for her four kids using the same math you did. Plus breakfast, school snack, after school snack, and supper are free for all students. Imagine the money you'd save by never having to feed your kid breakfast at home or send in snacks.[/quote] That's amazing. It must be very expensive for the tax payers in Washington, D.C. though.[/quote]
