Lunch Charge Notice  With the cost of everything from gasoline to housing rising at an alarming rate, the Harford County Public School system finds it necessary to address the issue of the ever-growing number of unpaid lunch charges accrued throughout the years.  While most parents and families are diligent about repaying a lunch charge “loan”, unfortunately that is not always the case, and that has prompted a new policy for elementary lunch charges. It remains expected that a lunch charge be repaid the next school day.  In the event that a charge is not repaid, and subsequent charges are made for the same student, only the sum of $17.00 will be allowed to carry as a negative balance.  This equals approximately two weeks of lunch charges.  When this amount is reached on an individual account, an AlertNow call will be made to the home to advise the parent that a student will be provided only a “No Choice” meal at lunchtime until all charges are paid.  This meal is most likely to consist of a cheese sandwich with fruit juice, fresh fruit and milk.  This meal is not free, the student’s account will still be charged for this tray. When there are extenuating circumstances surrounding an inability to repay lunch charges, we encourage families to take advantage of the Free and Reduced Meal applications available at all schools.
