Food Service Account Policy
The Board of Education and staff of St. John-Hudson USD 350 recognize that students who are hungry do not do as well in school. It is our policy to never deny a meal to students in our schools. USD 350 staff is always willing to work with families in the best interest of students. Parents are always encouraged to communicate with the office when questions or problems arise.
Students are required to pay meal fees in advance. Payment will be accepted in each school office. Each student will have a meal account where advance payments will be posted.
- When a student’s meal account balance falls below a balance $10, the student and/or parent/guardian will receive a payment reminder.
- If a student’s meal account balance becomes negative, the student will only be allowed to charge a maximum of $30, and the parent/guardian will receive a letter notifying of this policy. The parent/guardian must either provide a sack lunch from home until there is a positive balance in the student meal account or send cash to pay for that day’s meal.
- If a student’s negative lunch balance is greater $30 and the child does not bring cash or a meal from home, the student will be provided a basic meal (cheese sandwich, piece of fruit, and milk or similar alternative).
If a family is having financial difficulty, they may meet with the superintendent to arrange a payment plan or apply for free or reduced price meals. If arrangements are not made for the student to eat a sack lunch or school meals, the case may be turned over to Kansas Department for Children and Families as a “Child in Need of Care”. Lunch balances may be turned over to a collection agency if money is not paid by June 1st of each school year.
Refunds for food service monies collected for student meal accounts shall be made at the time of student transfer, withdrawal, or at the close of the school year, by request.
