Meal Account Payment and Charge Procedure 

The Boise School District Meal Account Payment and Charge Procedure can be found here. Please read it carefully and contact our office with questions. To assure your student has access to meals, it is important their food service meal account has funds available. 

Refunds, Transfers, Donations

Boise School District accepts donations anytime throughout the year to help families in need pay for meals. Please contact Food & Nutrition Services at 208-854-4098.

Students leaving the District with a positive meal account balance (due to a move, graduation, etc.) have until June 30th of the current school year to claim their meal account money. 

• Paid status accounts:  Families can choose to receive a refund, to transfer the funds to another student's meal account in the District, or to donate the funds to assist other families with unpaid meal charges.
• Free or reduced status accounts: USDA regulations prevent these families from donating their funds. Families can choose to receive a refund or to transfer the funds to another student’s meal account in the District.

Refunds for less than $10 must be made in cash at the school or by contacting the Food & Nutrition Services office at 208-854-4098. Refund checks for less than $10 cannot be issued. To request a refund (for $10 or more), a transfer, or to donate funds, please click on the following link to make the request:  Refund-Transfer-Donation Form.
