[quote=Anonymous]In real life, the poverty level for a family of 4 is $27,750 (https://aspe.hhs.gov/topics/poverty-economic-mobility/poverty-guidelines) FCPS is using bureaucratic slight-of-had by using the eligibility for reduced price meals ($51,337) instead of the official amount and calling it poverty. With the national average income of men ($61,417) and women ($50,982),31% seems low. Of course this is DCUM where people think 100K+ is middle class. Special ed does not only include those with significant limitations, it is the accounting bucket for all the IEPs too. So it also seems low. Remember, bureaucrats speak their own disorienting language. Remember these are the people saying budgets are down, when they go up every single year. In other words, from the classics: “When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less. ' '[/quote]
