6160 - FOOD SERVICE LUNCH ACCOUNTS

Through a computerized lunch accounting program, the District shall maintain individual lunch accounts for payments of meals offered to reduced and full-pay students, staff, and for anyone who wishes to purchase a second meal. Payments must be made to the lunch accounts in advance of meals offered. When a lunch account has a zero balance, no further purchases may be made until additional funds have been deposited into it.

Free and reduced price meal applications are available to anyone who qualifies per the current income eligibility guidelines. Decisions regarding free and reduced price meal applications shall be made consistent with legal requirements and established District procedures. These applications are given to each family at the time of school registration or sent home with a student on the first day of school if registration was not made in person; applications are also available in all the school offices any time during the school year.
