PURPOSE - The goal of SISD is to provide students with healthy meals each day. However, unpaid charges place a large financial burden on our Food Service Department. The purpose of this policy is to ensure compliance with federal reporting requirements for the USDA Child Nutrition Program and to provide oversight and accountability for the collection of outstanding student meal balances.  The intent of this policy is to establish uniform meal account procedures throughout SISD.

POLICY - Full and Reduced Pay Students – Elementary, Middle, and High School Students will pay for meals at the district’s published standard rate each day. A student will be allowed to charge a maximum of three (3) meals to their account after the balance reaches zero. Following the three charged meals, the student will be offered a reimbursable meal consisting of meat/meat alternates, whole grains, vegetables, fruit, and a choice of milk.  Each meal served will continue to be charged to the student's account. Charge slips will be sent home and if the family chooses, an automated phone system will be utilized to notify parents of overdrawn accounts. Charges can be paid in several ways; at the school cafeteria during business hours, online (a small convenience fee applies), or by coming to the foodservice office. The district may set a schedule for repayment on the account balance as part of the notice to the parent or person standing in parental relation to the student.  Students at all campuses must prepay or pay cash at the register for all a la carte purchases.

Parents/Guardians are responsible for meal payments to the foodservice program.  Students/Parents/Guardians may set up an account or pay for meals in advance via family.titank12.com or pay with a check payable to SISD Food Service or with cash.  By setting up an account with MySchoolBucks, parents/guardians can also monitor their child’s account.  Then it will be possible to view their purchases, balance, and/or deposit money in their accounts. Funds should be maintained in accounts to minimize the possibility that a child may be without meal money on any given day.  Any remaining funds for a particular student will be carried over to the next school year.

Refunds/Transfers for withdrawn and graduating students require a written request for a refund of any money remaining in their account. An e-mail request is also acceptable. A Refund/Transfer Request form is available on the District Food Service website.

Free/Reduced meal applications can be found online, at each campus cafeteria, and at the Food Service office in the Administration Building.  Free/Reduced meal applications must be submitted yearly.
