[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi. We were in a similar situation a few years ago (lots of job transition, loss of income) and it turned out we met the criteria for VPI. As I recall it was based on adjusted gross income from the prior year's tax return, just a dollar amount (I can't remember if we had to submit the actual documentation or just report it on the application). I also believe they give priority to residents who are significantly below median income in Arlington, and only then will they fill spots with people who are nearer to 80%. In any case we didn't find out we got the VPI spot until about 2 weeks before school started. I did not (and do not) feel bad about enrolling my daughter in VPI as we straight up met the criteria, nor do I think we took away a spot from another deserving family given the way it was explained to me that they allocate the spots.

did you leave the program once your circumstances no longer fit the criteria? if not, you took away a spot.[/quote]
