VI.C. Delinquent Lunch Accounts
Presenter:
C Johnson
Description:
For three years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, GCED was under Community Eligibility Provision. This meant that for three years, all students, regardless of status, were provided with free breakfasts and lunches. During the pandemic, free lunches and breakfasts were continued. GCED had one year left of CEP status when we returned this fall and students should have still been receiving the CEP benefit during 2022-23 but did not. We will have a discussion about next steps for situations where there is a negative lunch balance.
