HB 2649 Budget Narrative

Reimbursement for Oregon Foods:

(EXAMPLE)

For all items listed under Reimbursement for Oregon Foods: $36,000 (84.5% of budget)

This was based on costs for our school district’s average purchases by line item in 2012-2013 School Year and used to forecast estimated costs.

The formula we used to calculate this was: [1379 average daily lunches served] * [174 days lunch is served] * $0.15 reimbursement = $36,000. Remember, however to use the entire two year duration for the days lunch is served.
