Meals Prices Announced for 2009-2010

Breakfast and lunch prices will remain unchanged for the 2009-10 school year, the IISD Food Service Department announced today. As in past years, the Irving ISD offers some of the lowest meal prices in the greater D/FW area, as the table below clearly illustrates. This means that students, and their families, will have extremely nutritious and healthy meals available at bargain prices.

The typical student lunch includes an entrée, up to three servings of fruits and vegetables, low-fat or non-fat milk, and often a freshly baked roll or other freshly-baked bread item.
