Each year our school district receives at-risk dollars as a part of our funding. In the past, this has been based upon the number of students qualifying for free lunch through our school lunch program. Preschool through 8th Grade kids eat FREE (Yay!!!) in 2024-25 so that form is no longer available for us to use.
State level - in order to claim our at-risk dollars through the state, we need our parents to fill out the HOUSEHOLD ECONOMIC SURVEY. In 2024-25, it is estimated that we will receive $2,462,592 in at-risk dollars to educate our kids.
Federal Level - The percentage of kids who qualify under a free status also impacts our federal aid received for specific programming. In 2024-25, we will receive $1,197,714. This aid is used for special education, elementary intervention teachers, and allows us an 80% discount on school internet and fiber. It is the Household Economic Survey is what will determine our percentages.
Most likely, you completed your Household Economic Survey as a part of the enrollment process. Thank you if you did! If not, we ask for your help in completing this form.
