EFUNDS for Schools is a user-friendly program that offers various options for parents and guardians who choose to make online payments for meals and school fees. Users will have the option to pay fees by having funds electronically withdrawn from their checking account, credit card, or debit card. EFUNDS for Schools is a secure service provider authorized by the Board of Education. EFUNDS will charge parents a convenience fee for processing payments, similar to other online banking services. The district will not request or keep records of family checking or credit card account information.

Convenience Fees

EFUNDS has a nominal convenience fee for completing transactions. The district does not share in the fee. Parents can pay fees and reload accounts for multiple children and have it counted as one transaction.

Electronic Checking Payment (from your bank account) = $1.50
Note: This fee goes directly to EFUNDS and is not set by the school district. The system carries a Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) charge if the payment is returned as such. There is a $1,000 daily transaction limit for checking accounts. 

Credit or Debit Cards = $2.95 flat fee
Note: This fee goes directly to EFUNDS and is not set by the school district. There is a daily transaction limit of $2,000 for credit/debit cards. Parents can now pay for multiple students at the same time and incur only one (1) convenience fee. 

You will be in full control of your EFUNDS account and can make a payment at any time that is convenient for you. No payments will be allowed without your knowledge and authorization. By providing your email address, the system will send an email notification informing you of the student's name, purpose of the payment, and the amount of the transaction. The EFUNDS for Schools website is secure and uses industry standard data encryption.
