TAMPA, Fla — Due to the coronavirus, students finished out the school year at home while online learning.

That means hundreds of dollars worth of unused lunch money should still be left in your child's account.

ABC Action News reached out to local districts to see what your options are.

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY

For Hillsborough County Schools, you can request a refund online. Otherwise, the money will stay in your student's account until next year.
