Food Service Lunch Balances Policy

When a student or staff member graduates or leaves Leland Public School, for any reason, with
a balance in their lunch account, negative or positive, the Food Service Director or the Registrar
will reach out to the student’s parents/legal guardian or the staff member to inform them.

If the student has a negative balance and owes the food service department, they will not have
their records transferred to another school until the debt is paid off. If a staff member has a
negative balance, their final paycheck will be held until the debt is paid off.

If the student or staff member has a positive balance in their lunch account, the Food Service
Director will reach out to the Business Manager to issue the persons a refund check if the
balance is over $25. If the balance is under $25, the Food Service Director will attempt to
contact the student’s parents/legal guardian, or the staff member, and inquire if a rebate check
is desired or if they would like to donate the funds to the Angel Account to be used on students
who need financial assistance with meals. If it has been over 30 days and the Food Service
Director has not heard back from the students’ parents/legal guardian, or the staff member, the
money will automatically be transferred to the Angel Account.
