I am a special education para-educator (in other words, a teachers aide) in a Maryland public school. School breakfast is $1.30 and school lunches are $2.45 for middle and high schools ($1.20 and $2.25 for breakfast and lunch in elementary schools) Bringing in packed lunches from home is still an option here in our schools as I pack my sons (and my own) lunch.

And you are pobbly paying for half of the other students lunches if you don’t carry you own to school.
