Parents all over Wake County are being reminded to collect any unused lunch funds that remain in their children’s online accounts once their children leave the schools, otherwise it will soon be donated.
According to representatives from the Wake County Public School System, the district is holding onto over $300,000 worth of unclaimed funds. Most of this money is in the accounts of students who either graduated or left the school district. The representatives stated that they have sent out text messages and emails to families reminding them to collect their unused funds.
Families from Raleigh who wish to collect the money simply have to fill out a form provided by the district. The deadline for impacted families to fill out the Forms is Thursday, September 1. Any money that has not been requested by that date will be used to support school meal programs in the district. Promotional Products such as Books and Pens are often well-received by schools.
When the pandemic was in full swing, federal waivers made it possible for schools to provide free meals to every student regardless of their family’s economic situation. The waiver is no longer in effect this year, which means that students will need to start paying for their lunches. Some students will still qualify for free or partially-funded meals. Those who feel that their children may qualify for free meals are advised to put in applications to their children’s schools as soon as possible.
