Charge Policy
Lunch Charge Policy
The Greensburg Community Schools’ Food Services is self-supporting. We
receive no money from the district’s General Fund budget or property taxes. Food
Service is funded only from federal reimbursement and student payments to pay
operating expenses and fees. By federal law, Food Service revenues need to meet
or exceed expenditures. Therefore, unpaid charges and unlimited alternative meals
would affect the ability of the Greensburg Community School Food Service to
support itself.
Food Service Department meal charge procedure goals are:
• To treat all students with dignity in the serving line regarding meal accounts;
• To support positive situations with district staff, district business policies,
students and parents to the maximum extent possible;
• To encourage parents to assume the responsibility of meal payments;
• To establish a consistent district procedure regarding charges and collection of
charges
Cafeteria policy for Greensburg Community School students:
• A letter is sent home after the students account is $10.00 negative. Prompt
payment is expected to return the account to a positive balance.
• A second letter is sent home after the students account is $50.00 negative. A
free and reduced lunch application will accompany notification of the
negative balance. Upon return of the application, you will be notified if your
child qualifies for free or reduced lunch prices.
• If no attempt is made to satisfy the debt, the debt will be settled in small
claims court.
Students with any negative amount are not allowed to purchase
a la carte items.
Offer vs Serve Information
Notification Letter for Households
Our school nutrition department participates in the National School Lunch Program,
and implements Offer versus Serve. Offer versus Serve allows students to decline some
of the food offered as part of their complete meal. The goals of Offer versus Serve are to
reduce food waste in the school nutrition programs and to allow students more
customization of their trays. Read below to find out more!
Understanding the Lunch Line
At lunch, all students should have the opportunity to choose from menu items that fall
within five important food groups, including milk, protein, fruits, vegetables, and
grains. While the most nutritious lunch contains all of the offered items, we
understand that sometimes our students do not like some of the items we serve. To
make our customers happy, we like to give them the option to decline items they do not
want to eat.
Out of the five food groups your student is offered, they must choose at least three food
groups for their meal. One of the selections must be at least ½ cup of fruit or vegetable.
All schools are required by USDA guidelines to have adequate signage posted in the
cafeteria and on the serving line to help explain how students can create a complete
meal.
Example Menu for Lunch
Chicken Soft Taco
1/2 cup Black Beans
1/2 cup Fiesta Corn
1/2 cup Strawberries
1/2 cup Diced Peaches
8oz of Milk
With Offer Versus Serve at lunch, your student could choose:
● Chicken Soft Taco and Fiesta Corn (Protein + Grain + Vegetable = 3 food
groups)
● Chicken Soft Taco, Strawberries, and Milk (Protein + Grain + Fruit + Milk = 4
food groups)
● Black Beans, Fiesta Corn, Strawberries, Milk (Vegetable + Vegetable + Fruit +
Milk = 3 food groups)
Even though the school participates in Offer versus Serve, students are not required to
decline items, in fact they’re encouraged to take all five food groups. The choice is up to
them! If your student comes home and says they did not get enough to eat at lunch, ask
if they are taking all of their food group offerings. Don’t hesitate to reach out to Connie
Million, Food Services Director at 812-663-7176 ext 1302 if you have any questions about
the menu.
