What happens to Account Balances?

 If your child changes schools within Caldwell County, your child's money will follow him to the next school. 
 If you are using the MySchoolMoney, and your child is changing schools within Caldwell County, you will need to edit the student information on your parent account for MySchoolMoney.  The student will be re-verified to their new site.  The system will automatically transfer funds to the new school. 
 If your child is moving out of the Caldwell County district and you wish to receive your child's account balance, please do the following:
   -send a note to the cafeteria manager that your child will no longer be attending school in Caldwell County and that you would like his balance refunded to you.
   - list your correct mailing address.           
 The cafeteria manager will send the request to the Education Center where the request will be processed.  A check for the balance will be printed and sent to you in the mail. This can take up to two weeks once it is received at the Education Center. 
 If your child's account has a debt, you will need to remit payment for any charges prior to the student's departure from Caldwell County.
 If your child is being promoted from the elementary to middle or middle to high, school positive and negative balances will follow your child.  However, if you request that your child's positive balance be returned, you will need to send a written request to the school cafeteria manager prior to the last day of school.  If you do not notify the school before the summer break, you may contact the Child Nutrition office anytime during the summer and request a refund.  You will need to provide: your student's name, last school of attendance, your full name, and a current maling address.
 If your child remains at the same school from year to year, the  account balance will also remain..  However, a negative balances must be paid in full by the end of the school year.
