Byng Public Schools
Local Meal Charge Policy

CHARGING PROCEDURE

Students at Byng Public Schools are permitted to charge up to $15. Students who charge a meal will
receive the same choices for meals they would get if they had money in their account.  An alternate meal will be offered once the allowable charge limit has been reached.  The meal will consist of a meat, cheese, or peanut butter sandwich and milk for lunch, and a breakfast bread item and milk for
breakfast.

No charges will be allowed from May 1st until the end of school.  Students must have money in their account or pay cash in the line to receive a plate lunch after May 1st.

No a la carte items may be charged.

MEAL ASSISTANCE

Meal assistance is available through the Federal Free and Reduced Priced Meal Application. Those
forms are available to parents through our website at www.byngschools.com, your child’s school office, or the activity office in the Bertha Frank Teague gym lobby at Byng Junior High. You may contact Tammy Freeman if you have any questions at 580-310-6704.
