Negative Balance Policy
The Boone PTO offers the cafeteria account payment option as a convenience to students and parents and, in turn, asks that parents help the cafeteria maintain a balanced budget by keeping their student’s cafeteria account balance positive at all times. If a student’s cafeteria account reaches a balance of negative $25, the account will be closed until payment is made. If the student’s cafeteria account reaches a balance of negative $25 a second time, the account will be permanently closed for the remainder of the school year and the student will only be allowed to use cash for purchases in the cafeteria. Failed payments (i.e. bounced or returned payments) will not be counted towards account balances. To avoid negative account balances, the cafeteria encourages parents to set up their student’s cafeteria account to send low balance notifications and/or automatically replenished the account once the account drops below a certain balance. See instructions below.
