Welcome to

the 2012-2013

school year. I

hope you had

an opportunity

to enjoy the

beautiful

weather we

were so fortunate to have this

summer.

The 2012-2013 school year brings

some exciting changes to the district.

In June, the Board of Education

approved the restructuring of the

elementary schools. All students in

grades K-4 will attend Franklin

Elementary and all students in grades

5 and 6 will attend Nelle Shean

Elementary. The restructuring will

provide staff and administration

opportunities to enhance the

educational experiences and better

meet the individual needs of all ele-

mentary students. It will also provide

the students with an opportunity to

develop friendships with students

they may have not had an

opportunity to meet in the past prior

to sixth grade.

One of the district’s priorities with

the successful passage of the

operating referendum was to

upgrade technology and expand the

use of instructional technology. The

district is currently upgrading its

network and wireless capacity to

allow for the expanded use of

technology by staff and students.

This year will be the first year of the

district’s four year iPad implementa-

tion plan. The district has purchased

260 iPads for staff and student use.

Teachers will receive training

throughout the year on using the

iPad as an educational tool. Several

staff members are being trained as

technology implementation

specialists to assist staff and students

as we incorporate more technology

into teaching and learning. The

district has also hired a Computer

Resource teacher to provide

computer and iPad instruction to K-6

students. All elementary students

will receive this instruction on a

weekly basis.

This year, students will use the iPads

within the classroom setting and will

not be allowed to take them home.

Phase II of the iPad implementation

plan, scheduled for 2013 -2014, will

provide some students with one-on-

one iPads that may be taken home.

Phases III and IV will provide

additional students with one-on-one

iPads.

As a result of the successful passage

of the operating referendum the

district was also able to reinstate the

7-12 vocal music program. I am

pleased to report that choir is avail-

able to students in grades 7 and 8 as

NON-PROFIT ORGAN.

general music for those students who

enjoy singing. Students in grades 9-12

may also choose choir as an elective

course. The Board of Education and

District Administration are pleased to

once again have this opportunity

available to the students. We want all

students to develop an appreciation for

the arts and to have an opportunity to

discover and develop their individual

talents.

you have questions regarding your

students or what is happening in your

child’s school or in the district I

dent’s Building Administrator or myself

regarding your questions. We can be

I hope you and your students have an

enjoyable and successful 2012 -2013

SCHOOL SUPPLY INFORMATION FOR JR. HIGH STUDENTS & PARENTS Students at Eveleth-Gilbert Junior High need to work with their parents/guardians to determine the best way for them to keep their materials organized. This process will be different for each student, but organization is CRITICAL—so make a plan and purchase what you need. Be prepared to make changes if what you’re doing isn’t working and you’re

losing assignments or coming to class unprepared. Don’t overdo it. Sometimes less is more—fewer folders and notebooks mean you have less to keep track of. Purchase extra supplies in the fall when they are less expensive so you can refresh yours if they run out or become damaged.

Locker organizers can be helpful, but they can also create more of a mess to contend with and may prevent the locker from opening or closing. Students are not allowed to put stickers on lockers. Magnets are allowed inside, but tape and stickers are prohibited.

School supplies can become expensive, especially for those with multiple chil-dren. Any families who have difficulty for any reason purchasing supplies should contact the principal, counselor, secretary, or any other staff member. We have some supplies on hand that we can provide, no questions asked!

Teachers at Eveleth-Gilbert Junior High will hand out a syllabus at the beginning of the year that may list items not included here. This list, and the elective course supply lists do not include information from all courses or teachers. This list is created to help you get started gathering materials for the 2012-2013 school year.

All students in grades 7 and 8 will need the following supplies for their required courses:

1. $4 for student planner (required—checks payable to “EGJH Activity Fund.

2. Pencils (lots of them, with good erasers—mechanical pencils are fine)

3. Pens

4. Scientific calculator

5. Notebooks (1 designated especially for English—80 page)

6. Binders—some classes have required sizes

7. Loose leaf paper

8. Folders (the sturdier the better)

9. Paper grocery bags to cover books

10. Colored pencils

11. Glue sticks

12. Hand held pencil sharpener

13. Positive, Ready-to-Learn Attitude!

Students in Computer Math classes will need the following: three ring binder, USB Flash Drive (any size).

iPad Implementation Underway

This year, the Eveleth-

Gilbert School District be-

gins an Ipad implementa-

tion plan. In this first year,

all teachers will be receiving

IPads and receiving training

in their use in the

classroom. Each campus

(Franklin, Senior High, and

Gilbert) will receive mobile

carts for use in classrooms.

Sixty iPads will be available

at each site for teacher

checkout for classroom use.

In the coming years, beginning with next year, we will be phasing

in 1-1 student iPads. This means that this year we will be planning

and preparing for iPads to be placed in individual student’s hands

for their use over the course of the year. At that time, students

will be allowed to take the iPads home and use them for school

work and practice.

We are excited to begin this new adventure and expect to see

some incredible new strategies and classroom activities coming

soon.

FRANKLIN ELEMENTARY STAFF

I am so honored to be a part of the Eveleth-Gilbert staff! I will be the Elementary Computer Resource Teacher. I attended The College of St. Scholastica, taught Kindergarten in Bemidji, and Guided Reading in Grand Forks. I am excited to be a vol-unteer with the girls’ tennis team. My husband and I are happy to be back home on the Iron Range, and will be living in Buhl as he is a firefighter/paramedic in Hibbing. I am looking forward to a great school year!

Computer Resource Teacher at

E-G Elementary Schools

Meet Franklin’s New 2nd Grade Teacher

Hello, my name is Joe Grigal and I grew up right here on the Iron Range. I graduated from Virginia High School in 1997, and held a few different jobs since then. Over the past 9 years, I have worked for the Mesabi Family YMCA as an after school and day camp counselor. It was during that time that I discovered my love for working with kids, and decided to pursue a career in elementary education. I studied at the University of Minnesota-Duluth and graduated in 2011 with a degree in Early Childhood

Education. I was then hired by the Eveleth-Gilbert School District as a Title 1 Teacher at the Franklin Elementary School. As a Title 1 teacher, I had the opportunity and privilege to get to know the students and to learn from the extraordinary staff. This past month, I learned that I would be teaching full time in the second grade and let me tell you, I could not be any more excited than I am right now! I thank everyone for the warm welcome and the kind support I have already received, and I look forward to a great school year!

JUNIOR HIGH STAFF

Vocal Music Instructor on Staff at E-G

Hi there! My name is Becca Combs-Cawley and I am proud and excited to be the new music and choir teacher for Eveleth-Gilbert Public Schools! I originally hail from Indiana, where I attended Butler University and majored in music education! After college, I taught music in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and outdoor education in Nashville. In 2010, I moved to Winona, Minnesota where I helped teach band lessons, worked with the school musicals, and lived with 90 boarding students at Cotter Schools.

My Favorite Thing about Minnesota is all of the wonderful people I have met (followed closely by lots of snow, summer, the great music scene, the outdoors, and the Minnesota State Fair). When I am not teaching, I like to go camping and hiking, play my tuba, kayak, watch college basketball, or just sleep in my hammock (not all at the same time). I am very excited for this school year, and I am looking forward to meeting you and your students!

While in Europe, the group visited seven countries and presented over a dozen performances to various audi-ences. Kevin’s wife Amy is a graduate of Eveleth-Gilbert High School, and they are both looking forward to moving back to the region.

expulsion, or suspension under the Pupil Fair Dismissal

Act. Revocation procedures for a student who is an

individual with a disability under the Individuals with

Disabilities Education Act, United States Code, title 29,

section 794, and the Americans with Disabilities Act,

Public Law 101-336, are governed by these provisions.

E-G’s 2012-2013 Cheerleaders The Eveleth-Gilbert Cheerleaders are excited to announce that they attended the UCA Summer Camp in July. While at camp, they learned stunt safety, cheers, and leadership skills. During the week, the squad participated in a variety of evaluations, which they received excellent and superior ratings from the camp staff. On the last day of camp, ICA put on a “Champions on the Field” event, where

the cheerleaders competed for overall camp recognition. This year, the Eveleth-Gilbert Squad earned a total of five superior awards for cheer, and they also received a camp improvement award. The one award that the girls were most excited about earning was the Leadership Award. This was voted on by their fellow campers, for “Inspiring Leader-ship One and Off the Field.”

The cheerleaders can’t wait for the fall sports season to begin! Good luck everyone and see you on the field!

Members of the 2012-2013 Cheerleading Squad include: Shelly Benson, Ashley Koivunen, Sadee Sten, Kaelen Dolinsek, Anneissa Senarighi, Michelle Grigal, Emily Harris, Anika Unger, Alyssa Hujanen, and Liz Dahl. The advisor is Melissa Lautigar.

Lunch Program Credit Policy The following Credit Policy has been

issued to satisfy requirements set by the

Food and Nutrition Section of the MN

Department of Education.

The purchase of school meals is set up on

a prepaid basis Students are required to

have money deposited into a school meal

According to the Department of

Education, School districts are

responsible to provide meals to children

who do not have to pay for them. Even

with care and good faith efforts, from time

to time students run into a situation

where they do not have credit in their

lunch account. Children cannot engage in

the learning process when they are hun-

gry, so the following procedure has been

established.

REQUEST FOR HANDICAPPED ACCOMMODATIONS

Requests for handicapped accommodations for school events and functions

should be directed to Deborah Hilde, Superintendant

Please submit requests at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled event.

Parents Right to Know Parents of the right to request and receive timely information on the professional

qualifications of the student’s classroom teachers. This requirement applies to all

parents of the children in school, whether or not they receive Title I services, and all

Title I schools, both target assistants and school wide.

When districts receive a parent request they must respond in a timely manner, to the

requested information, at a minimum report the following: whether or not the teacher

has met Minnesota’s licensing requirements for the grade level(s) and core academic

subject(s) they teach, whether or not the teacher is teaching under a variance status,

the education level and subject area of the teacher’s college degree major and any

graduate degree or certificate held, whether the child is provided by paraprofessionals,

and if so, their qualifications.

Schools that receive Title I funds shall provide to each parent: information on the level

of achievement of the parent’s child on the state academic assessments, timely notice

that the parent’s child has been assigned or has been taught for four or more consecu-

tive weeks by a teacher who is not highly qualified.

This information provided to parents shall be in an understandable and uniform format

and, to the extent practicable, provided in a language that the parents can understand.

Parental Review of the Contents of Instructional Materials

Minnesota Statutes 126.666 and Independent School District #2154 recognizes

the right of a parent, guardian, or an adult student 18 years or older, to review the

content of instructional material and, if he or she objects to the content, to make

reasonable arrangements with school personnel for alternative instruction.

Alternative instruction may be provided by the parent, guardian, or adult student

if the alternative instruction, if any, offered by the School District does not meet

his or her concerns. The School District is not required to pay for the costs of

alternative instruction provided by a parent, guardian, or adult student. School

personnel may not impose an academic or other penalty upon a student merely

for arranging alternative instruction. For the purpose of this policy, instructional

material is defined as all print and non-print resources used in the education of a

student.

1. Instructional material will be available through the office of the building principal.

2. The School District will notify the public of this policy prior to the beginning of each school

year by mail via the district newsletter and by including the policy in each year’s student

handbook.

3. If any course changes occur after the beginning of the school year, the District will notify

any involved parent, guardian or adult student by mail.

4. If a parent, guardian or adult student has any questions about instructional material, he or

she will contact the course instructor to discuss the matter.

5. If the parent, guardian or adult student objects to the material, he or she will make

arrangements with the building principal and the instructor to discuss alternative

instruction, if any, offered by the school.

6. If the school offered alternative instruction does not meet the concerns of the parent,

guardian or adult student, reasonable arrangements for parent, guardian or adult student

alternative instruction, if any will be made.

7. School personnel or a third party may evaluate and assess the quality of the student’s

work.

DISTRICT CRISIS MANAGEMENT POLICY

The Eveleth-Gilbert School District has developed a Crisis Management Policy for

each attendance site. This policy includes general crisis procedures for securing the building. Classroom

evacuation, building evacuation, campus evacuation, and sheltering during the time of crisis. Copies of the

policy are available to the pubic by contacting the building principal.

ISD #2154 Non-Sufficient Funds Check Policy

Eveleth-Gilbert School District Indoor Air Quality Notice

The Eveleth-Gilbert School District is proud to be taking a leadership role in providing a safe, comfortable and

productive environment for our students and staff so that we achieve our core mission—educating students.

Our school will follow the EPA guidelines to improve our indoor air quality by preventing as many IAQ

problems as possible, and by quickly responding to any IAQ problems that may arise. Good air quality

requires an ongoing commitment by everyone in our school, because each of our daily decisions and

activities are affected by the quality of the air we breathe.

School staff, students and parents can obtain checklists or self-help information so they can properly

evaluate their child’s home or other out-of-school situations by contacting the school staff. Parents can also

obtain information about school facility construction, maintenance and housekeeping practices, chemicals

used, mold and HVAC-related information, chemical producing academic subjects, and pesticide and

herbicide applications to determine the extent to which school activities contribute to a child’s symptoms by

contacting the school.

The Eveleth-Gilbert School District Indoor Air Quality contact person is Mark Skerjance, Director of Building

and grounds. If there are questions regarding the District’s IAQ Program, please feel free to contact Mr.

Skerjance at 218-744-7748.

A friendly reminder is sent to parents

when the student’s account is

overdrawn.

1. A second request for payment is sent to

parents when they have not responded to

the first request.

2. If Parents do not make payment ar-

rangements after receiving the second

notice, the student will not be allowed to

charge meals to their past due account.

3. Students will be offered a sandwich,

fruit and milk at no charge so they will not

go hungry.

4. If the situation continues, Food and

Nutrition Staff will report the problem to

the Building Principal to determine what

course will be taken

13 AUGUST 2012 ANNUAL NOTIFICATION OF RIGHTS, PROTECTION, AND PRIVACY OF STUDENT RECORDS

Pursuant to the requirements of the School District regarding the requirements of Federal Law, the following constitutes the Eveleth-Gilbert Public School District’s annual notification to

parents and students regarding the data privacy practices of the School District.

The School District has adopted a Student Record Data Privacy Policy incorporating State and Federal requirements as to data privacy rights in student educational records. In summary,

the policy provides:

Privacy Rights: PPRA affords parents certain rights regarding our conduct of surveys, collection and use of information for marketing purposes, and certain physical exams.

These include the right to: Consent before students are required to submit to a survey that concerns one or more of the following protected areas (“protected information survey”) if the

survey is funded in whole or in part by a program of the U.S. Dept. of Education. Political affiliations or beliefs of the student or student’s parent/guardian; Mental or psychological prob-

lems of the student or student’s family; Sexual behavior or attitudes Illegal, anti-social, self-incriminating, or demeaning behavior; Critical appraisals of others with whom respondent has

close family relationships; Religious practices, affiliations, or beliefs of the student or the student’s parent/guardian Legally recognized privileged relationships, such as with lawyers, doc-

tors, or ministers; Income, other than as required by law to determine program eligibility. Receive notice and an opportunity to opt a student out of Any other protected information

survey, regardless of funding; Any non-emergency, invasive physical exam or screening required as a condition of attendance, administered by the school or its agent, and not necessary to

protect the immediate health and safety of a student, except for hearing, vision, or scoliosis screening, or physical exam or screening permitted or required under State law; and Activities

involving collection, disclosure, or use of personal information obtained from students for marketing or selling, or otherwise distributing the information to others. Inspect, upon request

and before administration or use: Protected information surveys of students; Instruments used to collect personal information from students for any of the above marketing, sales, or

other distribution purposes; and Instrumental material used as part of the educational curriculum. These rights transfer from the parent to a student who is 18 years old, or an emanci-

pated minor under State law.

ISD #2154 has developed and adopted policies, in consultation with parents, regarding these rights, as well as arrangements to protect student privacy in the administration of protected

information surveys and the collection, disclosure, or use of personal information for marketing, sales, or other distribution purposes. The School District will directly notify parents of

these policies at least annually at the start of each school year, and after any substantive changes. The School District will also directly notify, such as through U.S. Mail or email, parents/

guardians of students who are scheduled to participate in the specific activities or surveys noted below and will provide an opportunity for the parent to opt his or her child out of partici-

pation of the specific activity or survey. The School District will make this notification to parents at the beginning of the school year if the District has identified the specific or approximate

dates of the activities or surveys at that time. For surveys and activities scheduled after the school year starts, parents will be provided reasonable notification of the planned activities and

surveys listed below and will be provided an opportunity to review any pertinent surveys. Following is a list of the specific activities and surveys covered under this requirement. Collec-

tion, disclosure, or use of personal information for marketing, sales or other distribution; Administration of any protected information survey not funded in whole or in part by the U.S.

Department of Education; Any non-emergency, invasive physical examination or screening as described above.

Directory information includes the following: The School District proposes to designate the following personally identifiable information contained in a student’s education record as

“directory information” and it may disclose that information without prior written consent from the parent of the student or the eligible student: the student’s name, the student’s grade

level, photo- graph, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, honors and awards received, and the student’s weight and height if a member of any athletic team; The

parent of a student or an eligible student, upon receipt of this notice, will have two weeks (14 calendar days) to advise the School District in writing ( a letter to the Superintendent’s Office)

of any or all of the items they refuse to permit the District to designate as directory information about the student. This designation will remain in effect until it is modified by the written

direction of the student’s parent or the eligible student. In addition, two federal laws require local educational agencies LEA’s) receiving assistance under the Elementary and Secondary

Education Act of 1995 (ESEA) to provide military recruiters, upon request, with three directory information categories – names, address and telephone listing – unless parents have advised

the LEA that they do not want the student’s information disclosed without their prior written consent.

Directory information, as defined by statutes may be disclosed regarding students who are no longer in attendance within the District.

Inspection of Records: The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords parents and students over 18 years of age (“eligible students”) certain rights with respect to the

student’s education records. These rights are: The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the School receives a request for access. Parents

or eligible students should submit to the School Principal a written request that identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect, the School official will make arrangements for access and

notify the parent or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent or

eligible student believes are inaccurate or misleading. Parents or eligible students may as the School to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. If the School decides

to amend the record as requested by the parent or eligible student, the School will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing regarding

the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a hearing; The right to

consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the Student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One

exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the school as an admin-

istrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving on the School Board; a person or company

with whom the School has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee,

such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to

review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the School discloses education records without consent to officials of another school

district in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.

Transfer of Records to other Schools: The School District forwards educational records of students to other schools and school districts in which a student seeks or intends to enroll upon

request of that school or school district. A parent of a student or a student who is eighteen (18) years of age may request and receive a copy of the records which are transferred and may,

pursuant to this policy, challenge the accuracy of the records. The District does not, however, notify parents of students or students of age eighteen (18) or older, prior to such transfer.

Complaints for Non-Compliance: Parents of students or student of eighteen (18) years of age or older who feel there has been a violation of the rights accorded them may submit written

ASBESTOS NOTIFICATION As a result of recent federal legislation (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act - AHERA), each primary and secondary school in the nation is required to complete a stringent new inspection for asbes-tos and to develop a plan of management for all asbestos-containing building materials. Eveleth-Gilbert School District has a goal to be in full compliance with this law and is following the law. As a matter of policy, Eveleth-Gilbert School District shall continue to maintain a safe and healthful environment for our community’s youth and employees. In keeping with this legislation, all buildings owned or leased by the school district were inspected by EPA accredited inspectors and samples were analyzed by an independent laboratory. Based on the in-spection, the school prepared and the state approved a comprehensive management plan for handling the asbestos located within its buildings safely and responsibly. Furthermore, Eveleth-Gilbert School District has completed its 3-year re-inspection required by AHERA. Eveleth-Gilbert School District buildings, where asbestos-containing materials were found, is under repair, removal and Operations and Maintenance. This past year, Eveleth-Gilbert School District conducted the following with respect to its asbestos containing building materials:

Eveleth-Gilbert Junior High Freezer Room: Removed 50’ TSI of asbestos containing pipe insulation.

Federal law requires a periodic walk-through (called “surveillance”) every six months of each area

containing asbestos. Also the law requires for all buildings to be re-inspected three years after a manage-

ment plan is in effect. This will be accomplished under contract with MacNeil Environmental, Inc.

Short-term workers (outside contractors, i.e. telephone repair workers, electricians and exterminators) must be provided information regarding the location of asbestos in which they may come into contact. All short-term workers shall contact the lead maintenance person before commencing work to be given this information. Eveleth-Gilbert School District has a list of the location(s), types(s) of asbestos-containing materials found in that school building and a description and time table for their proper management. A copy of the Asbestos Management Plan is available for review in the district office.

Immunizations Required for School St. Louis County Public Health and Human Services (SLCPHHS) would like to remind families that it is

important to get immunized on time, every time. Vaccines have prevented millions of people from

suffering debilitating and sometimes fatal illnesses. Parents should learn all they can about

immunizations. One good resource can be found at the Centers for Disease Control website www.cdc.gov

Children in Kindergarten and Seventh grade will need to show proof they are vaccinated against

chickenpox (varicella) or have had the disease. Also, children entering Kindergarten will need to show

proof of a second dose for the measles , mums and rubella (MMR) vaccine.

In addition to the vaccines required under the Minnesota School Immunization Law, the Centers for

Disease Control (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend that children who are

11-12 years of age or older receive a Meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCVW) and a Human

Pappillomavirus vaccine (HPV, for girls only). Although not required for school attendance, adolescents

are more at risk of contracting certain diseases. Don’t forget, adults need vaccines too. Because cases of

pertussis are at a 45 year high, the CDC is urging parents, siblings and anyone caring for infants to get

their Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Acellular Pertussis (Tdap) up to date to prevent transmission of this

sometimes deadly disease to infants.

Immunizations should be part of a preventative health visit with your regular health care provider. Child

& Teen Checkups (C &TC) is a FREE preventative health care benefit that includes immunizations for

children birth through age 20 who have Minnesota Care or Medical Assistance. Help in finding a doctor,

transportation, or an interpreter is available by calling SLCPHHS. For those whose insurance does not

cover shots, SLCPHHS hold immunization clinics regularly. For more information please call St. Louis

County Public Health and Human Services at 218-749-0600 or 1-800-450-9777.

NOTICE CONCERNING USE OF PEST CONTROL MATERIALS

Minnesota State law requires schools to inform parents and

guardians if they apply certain pesticides on school property.

An estimated schedule of interior pest control inspections

and possible treatments is available for review or copying at

each school office. A similar estimated schedule is available

for application of herbicides and other materials to school

grounds. Parents of students may request to receive, at their

expense, prior notification of any application of a pest

control material, should such an application be deemed

necessary on a day different from the days specified in the

schedule.

Dental Insurance Available To Students

Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood

illness, and over 50% of low-income children in

Minnesota do not receive dental care. That’s why

Smiles Across Minnesota, Children’s Dental Services (CDS), and the

Eveleth-Gilbert School District are working together to provide

Dental care on-site in the Eveleth-Gilbert School District.

CDS will be providing a full range of restorative and preventative care as

well as oral health education to all school children within the district. A

consent form will be sent home with students during the first week of

school. Upon completion of this form, children are provided a dental exam,

a full range of preventative care including fluoride and fillings.

CDS accepts all forms of public and private insurance. No child is denied

treatment due to inability to pay. In the event that a child does not have

insurance, CDS assists families in applying for medical assistance and offers

a sliding scale discount program.

Contact Eilidh Reyelts Pederson at Children’s Dental Services for more

information 612-423-4027 or [email protected].

REVENUE TO DISTRICT WILL INCREASE WITH YOUR HELP

Families Encouraged to Apply for Free/Reduced Meals

Each year the Eveleth-Gilbert School District asks parents to complete a form asking about household income levels to determine if students qualify for the Free and Reduced Lunch Program. Did you know students eligible for the Free and Reduced Lunch Program also earn the school additional revenue that has nothing to do with the food service program?

Higher percentages of free and reduced lunch counts bring schools additional Federal Title Revenue, Federal Special Education Revenue, Federal E-Rate Revenue (discounts on telecommunication services) and State Compensatory Revenue. This article will focus on State Compensatory Revenue.

Compensatory revenue is used for students who enroll in school who are under-prepared to learn at their age level. State statutes allow schools a broad range of ways to spend compensatory revenue.

Schools can spend compensatory funds on remedial instruction in reading, language arts, mathematics, and other content areas including improvement of study skills. It can fund additional teachers and teacher aides. It can fund lower class sizes and/or a team teaching approach. It can fund longer school days or weeks or extended school year programs. It can fund all day every day kindergarten.

Compensatory revenue can fund programs to reduce truancy and encourage graduation. It can fund health services, nutrition services, and provide funding to ensure a safe and secure

learning environment. It can fund staff development to assist teachers and other personnel in identifying the needs of students.

Compensatory revenue can be used to fund materials and technology to provide alternative instruction. It can be used to present instruction at different rates and to present instruction in a different method than initially used.

For the seven county area of Northeastern Minnesota, this additional Compensatory Revenue is between $659.26 and $5,556.62 per additional student eligible for free lunch and between $329.63 and $2,731.22 per additional student eligible for reduced lunch. When you consider the other revenue sources mentioned above, this can add up to a considerable amount of revenue. For our schools the numbers are:

For each additional student eligible for free lunch the additional revenue is:

For each additional student eligible for reduced lunch the additional revenue is:

The district understands that some individuals are uncomfortable providing income information to the schools. I want to assure you that this information is not public information. It is used only for determining eligibility. The number of students eligible is reported only as a total number, so no individual information is released. Students who qualify for free or reduced lunches are not singled out in the lunchroom. Students who qualify for free or reduced lunches are not required to participate in the school’s food program. However, by qualifying they still provide the school with additional revenue.

The district is required to do random income verification, but you are not required to submit paystubs or income tax forms with your application. You only need to provide this information if you are randomly selected for verification.

If your household income is at or below the income levels on the chart below, we are asking you to consider helping the district collect this additional revenue by completing and returning the Free and Reduced Lunch Application form that will be given to each student on the first day of school. If you would like an application form at an earlier date, they are available at the principal’s office at each school and on the district website www.is2154.k12.mn.us.

Please consider helping the school obtain funding by filling out the application if you qualify for the free and reduced lunch program. Thank you.
