Alternate Meal/Charge Policy
Students may periodically forget or lose lunch money. The principal may allow the students to pay at a later date. In these cases, the principal assumes the responsibility for the following:
-
- Authorizing the family or student to make a deferred payment
- Collecting monies due
Once a student has been served a lunch, payment issues are to be resolved through the school directly with the parents or guardians.
Negative Account Balances
Students may accrue a negative balance of up to $10.00 for meals on their food service account.
Alternate Meal Policy
-
- The Food Service Coordinator shall determine the alternate meal items to be served.
- The Food Service Coordinator will provide the Student’s Balance Report to the Principal’s office twice a week. Students, who have a negative balance of up to $10.00 will be given an alternate meal prior to entering the serving line. The Food Service Coordinator will print student notes, on a weekly basis, indicating the negative balance of reduced and paid eligibility students to be sent home. The Cafeteria Manager or designee will provide these students with the alternate meal in a way that respects and protects them from undue embarrassment and stigma. The student will continue receiving the alternate meal until the balance is brought up-to-date.
- Home contact will be made to households of students with negative balances to address unpaid meal charges. A variety of strategies for collecting debts will be used, including sending requests to parents for repayment via phone, email and letters. The cafeteria will work with school officials to enforce repayment.
