Dear Parent/Guardian,
This letter contains information regarding both positive and negative lunch balances.
If your student ended the school year with money still on their lunch account, it WILL carry over to next school year. If your graduating student has a positive balance remaining, you may request a refund or transfer the balance to another student in your family by contacting me via email or phone. If your student ended the school year with a negative lunch balance, it will also carry over into next year. We encourage you to pay your negative balance as soon as you are able.
Payments can be mailed to:
Kimberly School District #414 District Office 141 Center Street West Kimberly ID, 83341
Payments can also be made using e-funds through your PowerSchool account.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Roxanne Mumm at (208) 423-4170 ext. 3341 or, rmumm@kimberly.edu
Thank you,
Roxanne Mumm
Food Service Director
Policy 8241 School Meals- Student Charging
The Kimberly School District supports proper nutrition to afford students the opportunity to fully participate in the educational process. It is the philosophy of the district to allow students to charge for school meals in the event of zero or negative account balance. Students are only allowed to charge for the first meal and cannot charge for seconds. In the event a student’s account balance is zero or negative the Food Service Program and/or building principal will make attempts to contact parents and/or guardians regarding the negative account balance. Those students with negative account balances will not be denied from any school event, program, activity, access to the food program, or called out of class to rectify the issue. Negative account balances are between the school and the parents and/or guardians. Students that have a negative food service account will have their transcripts and diplomas held upon graduation until their account is reconciled. A single or combined family account balance that exceeds $50 will be considered a delinquent account. Delinquent accounts will be referred to the superintendent at which time the superintendent will send a certified letter to the parents and/or guardians informing them that the account balance must be paid within 45 calendar days. During the 45-day period, attempts to contact the parents and/or guardians will be made. At the end of the 45-day period the delinquent account will be turned over to a collection agency.
