Procedures for Meal ChargesGirl Eating Lunch

It is the responsibility of parents to provide lunch for their children while at school. It is important that children receive the nutrition they need to stay focused and learn during the school day.

Unpaid meal charges place a financial strain on the Child Nutrition Department. While we intend to feed all students needing lunch, treat the students with respect regarding charging of meals, it remains the parents’ responsibility to provide payment or pack lunches.

The Gahanna-Jefferson Child Nutrition Department’s goal is to provide healthy meals to students and support its self-funded account. Several programs are in place to assist our families in need.

Please read about our Procedures for Meal Charges for more information about meal assistance and charge limits.
