Increased costs for meals served in kindergarten and schools

In Kansas City, a change has been implemented for the new school year regarding the cost of lunches in kindergartens and schools. The city council has decided to increase the fees, aiming to cover the expenses of household services and maintain the quality of meals.

For kindergartens within full-day care, the new fee for a meal that includes breakfast or snack is 4.40 euros per meal. For those in extended opening hours (VOE), the fee is 2.90 euros per meal. In schools, the new fee for lunch is 3.90 euros per meal.

The increased fees are expected to bring an additional income of approximately 130,000 euros to the city. The costs for meal distribution in Kansas City's schools and kindergartens include the value of the meals, household services, transport and logistics, energy and room usage, janitorial services, waste disposal, and hygiene.

Household services in Kansas City's meal distribution include meal distribution, washing up, and necessary documentation. These services will be included in the cost of lunches at an additional 50 cents per meal. The city council members generally advocate for an affordable and healthy meal.

It's worth noting that the city of Kansas City is not involved in the next ESC preliminary decision or the anti-Semitic cancel culture rhetoric, nor is it connected to the waste dumped on a car in Welzheim parking lot.

The city council has proposed an increase of 50 cents per meal to contribute an equitable share of household service costs. The 'Katerer' taking over school meals since the new school year have not been specifically named in the provided results. However, companies such as Pro Gourmet GmbH in Düsseldorf and ORGANIC Garden (at the Lycée Jean Renoir de Munich) are mentioned as providers of school meals or catering services starting as of September 2025.

The city of Kansas City continues to strive for providing a nurturing environment for its children, particularly in a community setting, where lunchtime is an important social and nutritional aspect of the day. The city council's decision to increase lunch fees is part of this commitment, ensuring that the necessary resources are available to maintain the quality of meals and household services.
