Goshen Community Schools

PLEASE READ if your student(s) had a Negative Balance on your school lunch account at the end of the 2024-25 School Year.

Negative balances greater than $10.00 for the 2024-25 School Year will be zeroed out in your student’s meal account and transferred to our collection agency, Kinum, Inc, after July 14th, 2025.  If $10.00 or less, the negative balance will stay on your student’s account.  Letters from Kinum will be sent in July.

• You will not be able to pay balances sent to Collections through the LINQ Connect portal. Once transferred to collections, any payments made to our school buildings or LinqConnect will be for the 2025-2026 Food Service year and will not be applied to your negative balance.
• Payments toward these balances MUST be made to Central Office or through this online link. Please include the Student’s Name and ID Number with all communication. Payments will be accepted as follows:
  • Mail to Goshen Community Schools, 613 E. Purl Street, Goshen, IN 46526
  • In person at the Administration Building, Finance Office upstairs at 613 E. Purl St – may pay with cash, check, or card. There will be a convenience fee when using a card.
  • Online by clicking on the 2024-25 Goshen Food Service link at the bottom of this paragraph. These payments are made through Certified Payments and not through LINQ Connect.  There will be a convenience fee for the online payment method.

Negative Balances that went to Kinum last year for the 2023-24 School Year that have not yet been paid will be transferred to our attorney in July 2025.
