Automated Lunch Accounting System
The Board uses an automated school food service accounting system to record payments and sales. The system functions as a debit system, similar to a checking account. There must be money in the family account in order to serve the student in the lunch line. Parents/guardians are expected to maintain their lunch account in a positive balance.
