    ELEMENTARY CHARGING POLICY:
     
    Charging will not be permitted for breakfast. Elementary students will be allowed to charge up to three lunches. When a student reaches the three lunch limit and until their balance due is paid in full, the child will receive a cheese sandwich and milk at a cost of 50¢.   The alternate meal cost will be added to the student's debt.  After three days of non-payment, or if steps have not been taken to apply for assistance, or if the parent/guardian has not contacted the Food Service Department to make arrangements, the student's lunch privileges may be stopped. It is strongly recommended that the parents/guardians make meal payments in advance. Personal checks and cash deposits are accepted daily.  For your convenience,  deposits may be made by credit/debit card by setting up an account for your student on www.payschoolscentral.com. You may view your student's lunch account, and set up a lunch account balance reminder as well. Students with an outstanding balance will be contacted by the principal, Food Service Coordinator or District by letter, e-mail or telephone call.   Students will not be allowed to charge any extra items.

    FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH APPLICATIONS:
     
    Free and Reduced Lunch applications will be available on July 1 of each year for the upcoming school year. Applications will be available at the Board of Education or the Brunswick City School website. You must fill out a new application every year. If your child/children received free or reduced lunch for the previous school year, they will continue to receive free or reduced lunch until September 30 of the new school year. If we do not receive a new application by September 30, your child will become a full-price student. You will be responsible for any amount that is charged.
     
    If your child receives free lunch, you are eligible to have their school fees waived. If your child receives reduced lunch, you are eligible to have their school fees reduced. You must sign a parent waiver giving Brunswick City Schools permission to waive or reduce school fees. A fee waiver is included on the Free and Reduced Lunch Application. If your child is directly certified to receive free lunch, a parent waiver will be included in your notification letter. You must sign and return it to the Food Service Department before your school fees can be waived or reduced.
