Parents of Pella Community Schools Students can expect a slight increase in fees come registration time this year. Superintendent Greg Ebeling says the increase will cover the expenses of new textbooks and online payment systems. The price of lunches, breakfast, and milk will all increase next academic year as well. Ebeling says that last year’s lunch rates for lunches were not enough to offset expenses. We’ll have more about Pella Schools with Ebeling on Let’s Talk Pella next week.
