Economic Status Form

Dear Parents/Guardians,

The Maine Department of Education awards additional funding to school districts based on the percentage of students identified as economically disadvantaged. Data in this form is not for school lunch purposes (all students eat for free this year), only to determine economic status.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars in state and federal funding for our school depends on economic status data provided for families. For example, this school year, we will receive almost $250,000 in state subsidy based on economic status data (which we previously collected through free and reduced meal applications).

By completing this simple form, you help ensure that we remain eligible for state and federal funds that benefit our students, families, and community.

An accurate account of economically disadvantaged students enables the district to maximize our state subsidy and provides access to additional state and federal programs that benefit our school and community.

Your participation is greatly appreciated as these additional funds are vitally important to supporting the educational services we provide to students.
