Alternative Income Form Information

Dear Parent/Guardian: 
 
Did you know that a sizable portion of the District funding is based on funding that is secured by our families submitting a simple form?  The Alternative Income Form contributes roughly $7 million to the general fund each year ultimately impacting EVERY student in the District. 
 
Without these funds, the future of music programs, student clubs, performing arts, sports, tutoring, and other services students and families use on a daily basis are at risk. 
 
Typically, we ask families to complete this form to determine eligibility for free or reduced price meals at school, which is an eligibility component of many funding programs operated by the state. Students in the state of California now eat breakfast and lunch for free regardless of eligibility! That’s not all, there are so many more benefits and rewards in addition to free meals. Although the State provides the funding, the California Department of Education will not receive any of the personal information you provide on the form.  Your privacy is very important to us.  Your information is safe, secure, and confidential. 
 
That’s where you come in - we need you to complete the form! 
  
Do you want to start saving for your child(s) future college education but cannot afford to?  – Complete the Form –  Every income eligible public school student in grades 1–12 will have: a CalKIDS account created in their name with a deposit of $500. Plus an additional $500 deposit for eligible students identified as foster youth. Plus an additional $500 deposit for eligible students identified as homeless. That’s up to $1,500 in free money for college!
