Secondary revenue includes nutrition services meal payments and activity/athletic fees, with pay-as-you-go gate pricing for athletic events. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the four school buildings, with enrollment managed via Skyward Family Access and Wisconsin inter-district open enrollment.
