Please review the attached Welcome to PaySchools Flyer for online transaction fee information.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
PaySchools Central, will experience a rate adjustment on February 12, 2025 for credit card transactions. The new effective rate is 3.25% plus $1.25 per credit card transaction.
Please be advised of additional payment options:
- PaySchools Electronic Check (E-Check): The fee for this payment option remains the same at a flat fee of $1.75 per E-Check transaction.
- Check or Money Order: Avoid transaction fees by funding your child's meal accounts with a check or money order. You may make checks or money orders payable to the Fort Lee Board of Education, on the memo line write "Lunch" your child's name & student id #, and submit the payment to your child's school.
Please note: During school year 2024-2025, students who qualify for free or reduced meal status would not incur transaction fees relating to their free meal. However, if the child's account would be funded to cover the cost of additional items or meals (i.e. Extra slice of pizza, cookie, etc.) the transaction fee would be incurred.
Sincerely,
Business Office
Fort Lee Board of Education
