McLean County Unit 5 School Lunch Program


School lunch provides a nutritionally balanced meal so students are ready to learn. Meals for Unit 5 schools are planned with the goal of providing students with one-third of their Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for key nutrients and calories. By offering students a variety of foods, school lunch promotes good nutrition habits.

  • Prices
    Elementary meals are $1.55 each for students and $2.05 for adults.
    Junior and Senior high school meals are $1.60 for students and $2.10 for adults.
  • Free and Reduced Meals
    Students may qualify for free or reduced meals. Eligibility is based on the gross income of all household members. Applications for free and reduced meals are available in all school offices. Reduced price lunches are $0.40.
