Parents in Montgomery County now can prepay for their child's meals at school using an online account, the school system announced Thursday.

The county will use the site, Cafe Prepay, an online service used in schools nationwide. The site allows customers to track account balances and pay with a major credit card. They also can preload a specific amount of money into an account and use an "automatic refresh" feature to add money to the account.
