During a special called school board meeting, Tuesday, July 17, 2018, the board approved a new Meal Charge Policy for Simpson County Schools.
Simpson County Schools have incurred a large balance of unpaid lunches from students in the past. A balance of $16,000 was left unpaid. The district had no choice but to use monies from each schools activity plan to pay for these lunches.
To avoid these kind of charges the district is asking all parents to please fill out lunch forms when they receive their children’s papers the first day of school. Even if you do not think you will qualify for freed or reduced lunches please fill the paper work out. Going forward the board has adopted a new Meal Charge Policy.
Attached is a copy of the policy and procedures that will take place when students owe lunch money. If a child ‘s lunch is not paid they will be allowed to eat on the first day money is due. After the second day the student will received an alternate meal for up to 5 or 10 days depending on grade level. Parents will be notified of the students account.
Simpson County School district has a “NO CHARGE” policy for students which will be strictly enforced.
Any questions are concerns need to be addressed with the county office.
