Meal Charging Policy 

(Approved by LISD Board of Trustees 08/21/2023)

 

It is the goal of the Lexington ISD Child Nutrition Department to provide a meal to students daily. We realize that lunch payments are sometimes forgotten, but in an effort to cover our cost of meals and labor, parents are strongly encouraged to continually monitor their child’s meal account balance. Parents can monitor and/or pay their child's meal account online by signing up at myschoolbucks.com or by sending the money with the student. When a student’s meal account is depleted, the district will notify the parent. The student will be allowed to continue purchasing meals for up to 5 MEALS. Students are allowed to charge for full meals only. No a la carte items may be charged at any time. Cashiers will remind a student if money on their account is running low. Once these charge limits have been reached and the Child Nutrition Department is unable to work out an agreement with the student’s parent on replenishment of the student’s meal account and payment of any outstanding balance, the student will receive an alternate meal at no charge.

 

An alternative meal consists of a sandwich, fruit, and milk. Other meal modifications are made for students with special diets that have a Special Diet Request Form, signed by a physician, on file with the school cafeteria.

 

Once the student nears his/her charging limit, the cafeteria manager and/or Child Nutrition Director will provide one or more of the following reminders in an effort to help the student continue to receive school meals:

· Student receives a verbal reminder from the cashier

· Parent/guardian receives a written note or letter via the student

· Parent/guardian receives a written note or letter via the mail

· Parent/guardian receives automated message from the department. Parent/guardian receives a phone call from the child nutrition department.

 

Students may purchase all seconds and extra food, only if they have money in their accounts or pay with cash.

 

There are several options for parents to pay for their students’ school meals:

1. Pay for each meal as student goes through serving line
2. Prepay for meals by putting money on students’ meal accounts
3. Giving cashiers payment as student goes through serving line
4. Dropping payments off at your campus office
5. Mailing payments to the school at:

Lexington ISD

c/o Lasonia Dalcour

8403 N. Hwy 77

Lexington, Texas 78947

 

6. Using My School Bucks web site to put money on students’ accounts
