Dear Families
PLEASE FILL OUT THE APPPLICAITON FOR EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO ALREADY.
You can help generate state aid for your school by completing this form and returning it to school.
Students in households that meet the free or reduced price meal income guidelines will generate compensatory revenue for their school. Schools must use compensatory revenue to meet the needs of students who are behind their peers, such as remedial instruction, instructional materials including digital learning and technology, bilingual programs and additional teachers and teacher aides. These applications may also make teachers in your school eligible for the federal Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program if they have outstanding college loans. However, the household must complete and return the forms, or complete the online form, no later than December 15 so the school can calculate eligibility and report to MDE. This will not impact your students’ eligibility to receive free meals during the 2020-21 school year.
Applications are available on the school website or in the school office.
