LIVERMORE FALLS — RSU 73 school directors will consider proposed food service prices on Thursday for 2011-12. The proposal includes some increases and decreases for fully paid breakfasts and lunches from the past school year.

RSU 36 and Jay School Department merged into one school system, RSU 73, on July 1.

The Regional School Unit 73 superintendent will propose breakfast and lunch prices to the board for the new school year at 6 p.m. on Thursday at the Cedar Street Learning Complex in Livermore Falls.

Reduced breakfast and lunch prices are proposed to stay the same at 30 and 40 cents, respectively, at all schools.

Breakfast prices at Spruce Mountain High School’s north and south campuses in Jay and Livermore Falls are proposed at $1 for full pay. That’s double what Livermore Falls High School students paid this past year and half of the $2 that Jay students paid.

High school lunch prices are proposed at $2. Livermore Falls High School students paid $1.70 this past year, which means a 30-cent increase, and Jay paid $2.25, which means a 25-cent decrease.

Spruce Mountain Middle School breakfast prices are proposed at $1 and lunch prices at $1.80. That is a 50-cent increase for students coming from the RSU 36 school system for breakfast. Jay students will pay the same as last year for breakfast.

Lunch prices are proposed to go up for students coming from both systems into the combined middle school. It is a 10-cent increase for RSU 36 students and a 5-cent increase for Jay students.

Both Jay and Livermore elementary schools breakfast and lunch prices are proposed to increase to 75 cents. Livermore Elementary School students paid 50 cents, a 25-cent increase for students that attend that school. Jay students paid 60 cents this past year and the increase, if approved, means they will pay 15 cents more.

Lunch prices at the elementary schools are proposed to increase from $1.50 and $1.75 in Livermore and Jay, respectively, in 2010-11 to $1.80. The increase is 30 cents for Livermore Elementary School students and 5 cents for Jay students.

Proposed prices for staff lunches are down 25 cents to $3.50. Adult breakfast prices are proposed at $2. There were no prices listed to compare them to.

In other business Thursday, school directors will consider several athletic, academic and co-curricular appointments including Chris Bessey to fill the high school varsity boys’ basketball coach position and Brian Dube to fill the assistant high school varsity football coach position.

Other nominations for the 2011-12 school year include: Julie Thornton to fill the position of Jay Elementary School first-grade teacher; Rick R. Dodge to fill a high school north campus math teaching position; and Gilbert “Specs” Eaton to fill the interim principal position at the high school north campus.
