However, not collecting meal applications impacts the funding for other programs such as the district’s Title I and E-Rate funding. To ensure that the district continues to receive full funding from these grants, SUSD is required to collect income information from ALL HOUSEHOLDS through a survey. The data collected will be used to help us continue to qualify for hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal programs. SUSD needs data from EVERY HOUSEHOLD. This funding affects not only the equipment and services we purchase but also the number of personnel we can keep employed to help students.
