Family Finances Effecting Student Demographics

Providing families with access to much needed resources can be the difference between a child's failure or success as a student academically and extending into their overall development and life into adulthood. Providing awareness of federal and local financial assistance programs that provide assistance with school supplies, free lunches, medical benefits, interventions, and more can ease the stressors of financial strain on families.


As a community educational professionals and families have collaborated to build and sustain beneficial programs available to students within this demographic.
