County school board discusses school lunch debt

February 25, 2020–11:30 a.m.

STAFF REPORTS

The Floyd County Board of Education heard some ideas on how to deal with unpaid school lunch balances during their Monday night meeting.

The issue has been a topic of discussion for several months.

Some of those ideas include alternate meals (such as peanut butter, cheese sandwiches or Pimento cheese) for middle and high school students with negative balances.

Another possible way to deal with negative balances would be for students having to clear charges before participating in certain activities such as proms and field days.
