Economic Status Form

We are excited to welcome students back to school on Tuesday, September 5! As you probably know, two years ago, the State of Maine enacted a law that provides free school meals for all students. This program provides all Maine children with access to free, healthy school meals on a daily basis.

However, we need your help. Please take the time to complete the Economic Status Form. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in state and federal funding for our school depends on economic status data provided by parents. For example, this school year, we lost $250,000 in state subsidy because the percentage of our students qualifying as economically disadvantaged was below the state average; the state average was 39% while St. George School was at 37%, meaning we missed $250,000 in subsidy by about 5 students. By completing this simple form, you help ensure that we remain eligible for state and federal funds that benefit our school community.

Please take the time to complete and return this form and help us access state and federal funding that benefits our students, families, staff, and community. You can complete the Economic Status Form online. You will also receiving a paper copy in the mail with directions, if you prefer that option.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Mike Felton, St. George MSU Superintendent
