Collection Process

On Friday afternoon of each week MOSAIC will generate an email from the Food Services Director regarding the status of a child's balance if their current balance meets one of the following criteria:

  • Any child whose balance is between $0.00 and $10.00. The email will be an FYI that the balance is getting low and how they can put money on the account.
  • Any child who has a negative balance up to -$9.99. This email will come from the Director of Food and Nutrition Services and inform the parent about free and reduced options. The email will also be cc'd to a designated administrator or the school social worker.

              *  The student will continue to be served a full meal and the account will be charged accordingly.

  • Any child who has a negative balance greater than -$9.99. This email will come from the Director of Food and Nutrition Services and copied to the designated school staff.

               *  On Monday, the Food Service staff will generate a list of anyone with a negative balance of $10.00 or more and give it to the designated staff.

               *  The designated staff will contact the family to determine the circumstances for the non-payment.  The designated staff member will communicate with the Director of Food and Nutrition Services regarding their conversation with the parent and the steps they are taking to address the balance.

           *  The student will continue to be served a full meal and the account will be charged accordingly.

If the parents do not respond to the designated school staff, designated school staff will notify the Director of Fiscal Services and Operations who will take charge of the collection.
