Enrolling Daughter in SR year at High School Tom. would you qualify for free lunch or tuition?

[greenbriar]

a family of 3 can not make over 32,560 a year to get free lunch and tuition


we make way over that so we never qualify




I can NOT believe we are enrolling for school already

1. School starts August 14th

Wow, where did our summer go

[greenbriar]

2. Teachers report August 6th

just seems too soon

3. I qualify

Even if I add the child support my ex pays me every month. She does help with the shoes.

4. If anyone does qualify, please DO apply!

The schools get federal funds for Title One classes (math and reading) based on free- and reduced-lunch numbers.

Seems like a crazy way to determine need for remediation, but ... that is how they do it.

And your child won't be stigmatized. No one knows who get a free lunch (and breakfast!) and who doesn't, unless the kids tell or the district is tactless about it.

5. Growing up, I did qualify for free school

lunch. Once my brother and I got to high school, we only qualified for reduced pay lunch. It wasn't that my mom was earning much more on salary, she had fewer kids at home.

7. People have to apply to see if they're eligible...most know they are...

Everyone should apply anyway. You never know. You may be eligible this year, if you weren't last year.

8. The true new poverty line is $42,000 for a family of four and is considered poverty.
