IMPORTANT SCHOOL Meal Info:
Growing debt from unpaid meals is forcing the Sioux Falls School District to make fiscally responsible changes. On Friday, December 1, 2023, all negative meal accounts will be reset to a zero balance thanks to generous donors. Starting Monday, December 4, the District will be enforcing school board policy. When an account has any amount of negative balance, breakfast will not be able to be charged. Once an account reaches a negative (-)$20 balance, the student will be offered a Smart Snack and a milk rather than a hot lunch and $1 will be charged each time to the student account. Once an account reaches a negative (-)$75 balance, no Smart Snack or meal can be served.
If you haven’t completed a Free/Reduced Meal Application this school year, but believe you may qualify, immediate action is requested. Those who apply, but are denied between today and December 1, 2023 MAY still qualify for incremental assistance if additional funds become available.
