[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school is supposedly 6% farms. Which I find amazing because that means 45 kids/750.

In our district there are ZERO apartments and ZERO condos. I am not exaggerating. Literally zero. The cheapest townhome is worth $350k and rents for $1800/month. There is no Section 8 or anything like that.

So even figuring 2 kids per family on average, there are 22 families so poor they qualify for FARMS? I have a hard time believing that. [/quote]

Foster kids?

Families doubled up with relatives in their home?

Families who bought their home in better times, and are now experiencing extended unemployment?

Widow trying to stretch out a life insurance payment?
 
Housekeeper or other domestic servant with an exception to bring their child to the school by their work?

Kids being brought in for a special education program?[/quote]

But if you livibg with grandparents, shouldn't that factor into the FARMS formula? What is they are rich? Also, widows in a nice house with life insurance are not poor even if they have no income. Maybe these people do wualify but that seems unethical to me.[/quote]
