What are the administrative procedures for insufficient lunch accounts?

• Unless they have opted out, parents will be notified by district email daily for each student once their account balance reaches the amount equivalent to 5 days of lunch.
• Students will not be allowed any a la carte, extra portion, or extra milk charges if they do not have sufficient funds in their account.
