Charge Policy

The United State Department of Agriculture’s regulations for School Nutrition states that no free meals may be served unless a student has an approved meal application.

In order to ensure compliance with these regulations the following policies and practices are in effect:

• Elementary Students will be allowed to accumulate no more than five (5) charges.
• Middle and High School Students will be allowed to accumulate no more than (3) charges.
• No child will be allowed to purchase a la carte items if they have a negative balance on their meal account.
• Balances (positive and negative) will be carried forward from year to year.
• Administrators may exclude students from extra –curricular activities or restrict privileges for students who have a debt. Students of parents/guardians who have a payment plan and are making payments to reduce their debt will not be excluded or restricted. No student diplomas, grades or academic records will be held for non-payment.

Students will not go hungry. The School Nutrition staff can provide the student with a sandwich, milk and fruit/vegetable to serve as their lunch; breakfast will consist of cereal, toast and milk.

Each school provides the service of a hot lunch & breakfast every day.
