Food Service and Child Nutrition

COLLECTION POLICY

Overview

Marshall County Schools provides breakfast and lunch to all children daily.  Adult employees are also offered the privilege of participating in this program. Marshall County Schools has implemented a billing system whereby students and employees may charge meals daily at the school level.  Parents/legal guardians and Marshall County School employees are responsible for paying monthly food service meal charges.  Marshall County Schools will not extend charging privileges to any individual with an account balance of $50.00 or more.  Once charging privileges have been suspended, parents/guardians must send cash daily, pay bill in full, or send a lunch with the student.

The Marshall County Board of Education has the authority to track and collect all debts as long as the child is a student of the Marshall County School system.

In addition to any bank charges that apply to non-sufficient funds checks, Marshall County Schools will also apply a $10.00 service charge for non-sufficient checks received.

Marshall County complies with all Federal and State Regulations while providing healthy meals to children.
