What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

As of April, 2023, Pflugerville Independent School District, located in Pflugerville, TX, had $180,000 in unpaid lunch balances. Every year, the district budgets to pay for any shortfalls from its general fund, as required by the United States Department of Agriculture. During the 2022-23 school year, PfISD allocated $30,000, almost double the amount they normally need, in anticipation of growing needs in the district. However, the $180,000 owed was ten times the amount they have seen in the past. In order to combat this growing debt, the district instated a lunch policy that, if a student's negative account balance exceeded $6, the student's chosen entrée is replaced with a cheese sandwich, the cost of which is absorbed by the food service provider. To meet the USDA federal payment requirement, PfISD had to redirect $150,000 of the general fund away from student programs and teacher resources in order to meet the USDA federal payment requirements.

Pflugerville ISD's debt to their food service provider was paid at the end of the 2022-23 school year, as required by federal law, but the students' negative lunch balances remain. Our goal is to help those families in need by paying off the student lunch debts, ending the need for the alternative lunch policy, and thus eliminating the students' embarrassment felt at having their chosen entrée replaced in front of their peers. In doing so, we will also be helping everyone in the district, students and teachers alike, who currently have $150,000 less in provided resources until those funds are recouped.
