Pupose
The purpose of this policy is to maintain consistent meal account procedures throughout the District. Unpaid charges place a financial strain on District finances. The Food Service Department is responsible for maintaining food charge records and for notifying the District’s accounting department of outstanding balances.
Employees
Employees may charge meals only after completing the form provided by the district authorizing the district to withhold the amount of any unpaid charges from the employee’s pay. The district will withhold amounts due from meal charges in the pay period immediately following each school quarter (November, January, April and June). Employees may appeal a deduction for meal charges using the process outline in policy 4520.
