RELEASE OF FREE OR REDUCED LUNCH PROGRAM
ELIGIBILITY
The Improving America's
Schools Act (IASA) requires disaggregation of test
results within each state, local educational agency, and school by, among other
factors, economically disadvantaged students compared to students who are not
economically disadvantaged. Additionally, California Education Code requires
the State Superintendent of Instruction to prepare an annual report of the
results of the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program containing an
analysis of various factors that appear to have a significant bearing on the
results, including economic factors.
Because Aid to
Families With Dependent Children (AFDC) data is no
longer available, eligibility status for free or reduced priced meal programs
is the indicator for economic disadvantage for both the federal and state
reporting requirements. This data is collected on the student demographic form
for the designated achievement test.
In the
In releasing this
information for state testing purposes, PYLUSD ensures that:
No individual
indicators of participation in any free or reduced price meal program are
maintained in the permanent record of any pupil.
No public release of information regarding individual pupil participation in
any free or reduced price meal program is permitted.
The confidentiality provisions required by law are met.
The eligibility data
will be used solely for the purpose stated in this policy.
