An important change has taken place in State Law regarding meals for students with insufficient funds. The cashiers are no longer allowed to inform students about their account balance OR when their lunch account has gone into the negative. All communication will now be directed to the parents/guardians. Only if a student inquires first about their balance, can they be told. Negative Balance Emails will be sent to parents on a daily basis. Low Balance Emails will be sent up to three times a week. If a student's lunch account balance goes into the negative $17.50 or higher for Full Price students, or $2.00 or higher for Reduced Price students, THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE A MEAL! This new regulation only covers a reimbursable meal. It does not cover ala carte items.  The existing rule remains - if the student's account balance is in the negative, NO ala carte items will be allowed to be purchased.  If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Holly Sorice, at [email protected].
