The National Rural Education Association, in it its monthly membership newsletter, spotlighted the SchoolReach EZ Lunch Balance program as solution to help rural school districts manage lunch debt.
The NREA's newsletter reaches 2200 rural school districts across all 50 states. Originally founded in 1907 as the Department of Rural Education, the NREA's mission is to help maintain the vitality of rural education in the United States and assists rural schools with legislative efforts, eRate collaboration, and educational workshops and events.
Rural districts are not immune to the problem of lunch debt. EZ Lunch Balance from SchoolReach is the perfect solution for quickly notifying parents when their student's lunch balance goes negative or reaches a threshold level.
EZ Lunch Balance is highly compatible with the rural school environment as its delivers recorded messages through phone lines versus email or Internet connections. Even in 2010 rural markets still struggle with low incidents of Internet use making phone broadcast a more universal solution.
