We received the following notification from those who run My School Bucks, the company that allows for parents to pay money for school lunches online. JM
We are writing to let you know that we are increasing the MySchoolBucks program convenience fee that parents pay from $1.95 per payment to $2.49 per payment. This fee increase is the result of an increase in card scheme fees and will be effective as of December 11, 2017.
This is the first time in our 16 year history of taking school meal prepayments that we have raised this program fee. During this time, our costs have increased steadily, particularly as the card schemes have increased their fees to us. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to absorb the entirety of these increases while still maintaining excellent service and support.
