Free and reduced price is a major calculated formula that goes into the foundation aid formula which is the district's largest state aid funding source. Additionally FRPL is a measurement used to determine a district's eligibility for grants. The data used currently is outdated and frozen by NYS. When the state updates the formula and uses current data we NEED to have data on file.

 
If we are a CEP school am I required to complete an Income form? 
NO- However the data used to calculate Canastota's FRPL ratio will be outdated and may not reflect our communities current demographic or economic status.

How can you help ensure Canastota has an accurate FRPL ratio? 
Complete the Income form.

What is the income form? 
The Income data form is a form that shows how many people reside in a household and the income of that household.
