Abstract	As with most things in life, managing student meal charges is all about balance. To be successful, the program needs to include a fair and reasonable policy, to serve nutritious and flavorful meals, and to include students as active stakeholders in the program. A plan that acknowledges simple forgetfulness, explains expectations of all stakeholders (students, parents, food service staff, and school administrators), is consistent and respectful, and includes follow-through helps a school district manage its negative balances effectively while focusing attention on the more serious overdue balances. An effective student meal charge plan is fair, consistent, and fiscally sound. (ERIC).
