Brian in some instances it is the schools fault.I will have you know that I pay my kids accounts and I still received a notice that the account was delinquent.My son comes home all upset because he was told that if the amount of the lunch is not paid he isn't going to be able to eat the next day.In researching with the school my account was not delinquent the check was applied to another student.These kids are under enough stress right now in this not so great school system.They do not need to be worried about whether or not they can eat lunch.And I will have you know the school told me that errors happen they have over 600 kids that they monitor lunch accounts for.I think maybe a new system needs to be put in place so these errors do not occur.So before you start assuming that everyones accounts are delinquent and we need to pay our bills maybe you should look at the whole picture!
