The District uses an automated lunch accounting system to record food service payments and to monitor food purchase transactions. The system functions as a debit system. Parents/guardians are expected to maintain their lunch account in a positive status. Any funds remaining in family lunch accounts at the end of the school year will carry over to the next school year. Refunds will be issued upon written parental request.
Students will be issued an identification number and assigned a lunch account that the computer will monitor.
The District receives federal and state reimbursement in the form of cash and commodities for the first lunch served to each student. Second lunches and extra portions are available at a la carte prices. Each school year, parents must complete a permission form if they choose to allow their students to purchase extra portions with the debit card.
