All State Child Nutrition Program Directions
Unallowable Charges to Non-Profit School Food Service Accounts and the Serving of Meals to Non-Paying Full and Reduced Price Students. The frequency of schools allowing full and reduced price students who do not have lunch money to charge a meal has increased significantly in recent months. Often the moneys due from these students are never paid leaving the school food service program with an uncollectable debt.

Unpaid Meal Charges
The headlines are more and more common: “Unpaid Lunch Bills Spell Financial Burden for Nation's Schools” and “Kids' lunch tabs eat away at school finances.” Rising costs and a tough economy are putting the squeeze on both parents and schools. As more families fail to pay for their children’s school lunch and breakfast, schools have accumulated debts that impact the stability of their meal programs, as well as their ability to meet the increased costs of the new school meal nutrition standards.
