Charge Meal Policy

 

Comal ISD Meal Charge Policy

The Comal ISD standard is that no child goes without a lunch or breakfast as requested. This standard is adopted by all schools in Comal ISD.

The following will apply regarding meal charges:

  • Students that temporarily do not have funds in their account will be allowed to charge up to $20.00 for full-price meals and up to $5.00 for reduced-price meals.
  • Parents are responsible for all meal account charges before applications are approved for Free or Reduced Price meals. This responsibility applies if a student’s eligibility for Free or Reduced Price meals changes. All students with a prior year's Free or Reduced Price status keep that status for 30 (thirty) days starting in the next school year, allowing time to submit a new school year application.

  • A la carte items, second portions, and ice cream will not be allowed to be charged.

  • A “No charge” policy will take effect for the remainder of the school year beginning the third Monday in May

Alternate Meal

An alternate sack meal is offered to students at no cost if the student’s account, including allowable charges, cannot cover the cost of the meal:

  • An alternate meal consists of a sandwich, fruit and milk or other items as determined by the Child Nutrition Director
