I guess the hundreds schools and the parents that used this program as a fundraising tool are now out of luck. Is there anything schools can do to get the rebates they are owed? I wonder if the General Mills Boxtops program is destined for the same fate?

That is a great question. I don't know what will happen to the funds that they owe their participating schools. I would suspect that these would fall into creditors of the bankruptcy.
