School changing meal charging policy
Cottonwood School District is changing their food service meal charging policy. See below:
Unpaid Meal Charges
It is the intent of the Cottonwood School District to provide students with a nutritious meal at a reasonable price.  Our pricing structure is based on a formula set by the state.  Our district is working on a policy to continue to serve our students but also making sure that the meals are paid for.  It is our intent to maintain the financial integrity of the school nutrition program.
The policy is encouraging parents to pre-pay for lunches.  When a student’s school meal account funds are exhausted a student paying the full or reduced price for meals may charge no more than $15.00 to his or her school meal account.  Student’s who have charged the maximum amount allowed will not be allowed to charge meals until the negative account balance is paid in full. The parent of guardian will receive a notice either by phone, mail or e-mail when the account balance reaches $5 or less.
Notification
The District will provide a copy of this policy to all households at the start of each school year.  We hope to fully implement the policy for the 2017-2018 school year at the start of the second semester - January 22, 2018.
Policy
We encourage you to read through the policy and if you have comments, please share them with us.  The policy is located on the District website  http://sd242.org
