Meal Plans

Option 1 - Annual Payment Plan (P1)

Parents can pay for their child's lunch in a one-time payment for the entire school year. The cost for the remaining days in the school year is as follow.

This program is available for purchase throughout the entire school year and is transferable between schools within the Howard County Public School System if a student moves or transfers to a different school. A $10.00 cancellation fee will be applied for withdrawals from the plan. The plan will only begin on the first school day of each week. The weekly deadline to enroll is each Wednesday by 4:30 p.m. in order to begin the next week.

Option 2 - Installment Payment Plan (P2)

Parents can pay for their child's lunch through a monthly direct debit from a checking or savings account. Payments will be withdrawn in nine (9) equal dollar installment payments per the schedule below.

The calculation for the Installment Amount is:

180 school days multiplied by the price of the lunch per day equals the total due per school year divided by nine (9) payments equals the amount per Installment. Example (Elem.): 180 days x $2.25 per day = $405.00 Total Due / 9 payments = $45.00 per Installment.

The payment breakdown is:

Completed applications received by the sign up deadline of each month will be processed and the withdrawal and start date will be as indicated above. Applications received after the sign up deadline of each month will be held and processed the following month. If your bank rejects a withdrawal twice, this plan will no longer be available for that student. This program is transferable between schools within the Howard County Public School System if a student moves or transfers to a different school.

The Installment Payment Plan automatically continues each school year unless you send in written notification to the Food and Nutrition Service Office to cancel or withdraw from the plan.
