The increase in the price of meals served in school canteens in many French municipalities will not affect the parents of college students in Côte-d'Or.
The county council has indeed recently announced that it would not change the rate applied during the last school year, indicates France Bleu Bourgogne.
This amounts to two euros per lunch.
To offer this tariff to its inhabitants, the local authority must put its hand in its pocket.
The budget necessary to maintain the measure has been estimated at 5 million euros.
15,000 children eat their lunch every day in one of the public colleges in Côte-d'Or.
Inflation, which reached 6.1%, led several towns to increase the prices of meals eaten in their municipal canteens.
This is for example the case in Saint-Germain-sur-Morin (Seine-et-Marne), which announced last June a 190% increase in the price of meals at the leisure center.
