5.0910 CHILD NUTRITION PROGRAM MEAL PAYMENT & CHARGE POLICY
5.0910.01 PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND Issue Date: 6/12/14
1. National School Lunch, Breakfast, Special (Kindergarten) Milk and the After School Snack Program are federal programs in which this district participates. 2. Schools receive partial reimbursement for meals served to students who do not qualify for free meals. Parents must make payments to a student’s account to make up the difference between the federal reimbursement and the cost of the meal. This policy applies only to school meal payments, not a la carte sales. All a la carte sales, of second meals, partial meals, and milk are not reimbursable, and all cost of these a la carte items are parent’s responsibility. This also includes students that qualify for free and reduced. 3. If students qualify for free or reduced-price school lunch, their meals are reimbursed in whole or in part with federal funds. Otherwise, the meal reimbursement is minimal and parents are expected to pay for their student(s’) meals. Schools should adopt policies which minimize unpaid accounts and ensure students are not subject to punishment or stigmatization when parents fail to make school meal payments. 4. The purpose of this policy is to explain how Duchesne County School District will receive payment and notify parents/guardians about: money owed for student meals; of the school’s procedures for providing meals if students’ accounts are delinquent; and to assure and remind parents and school employees that students will never be confronted or embarrassed about money owed for school meals.
