SHUSD Families – Please Complete the 2025–2026 Household Income Survey

The purpose of this survey is to determine the Unduplicated Pupil Count (UPC), which is used to calculate supplemental and concentration grant funding for the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and to determine eligibility for other state funding programs.

School districts must identify students whose household income falls below federal poverty levels. We use alternative income forms, such as the Household Income Survey, along with federal meal applications, to determine student eligibility.

Benefits to the District (LEA):

• Identify students who meet Free and Reduced-Price Meal (FRPM) eligibility levels
• Maximize the UPC used to calculate LCFF funding
• Maintain eligibility for other state funding programs

Benefits to Families:

• College application fee waivers
• Testing fee waivers
• Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) or similar benefits

The survey is quick, confidential, and helps secure funding and resources for our schools and students.  You can fill out the electric form on this post or forms are available at your school office, at the district office or online: https://www.sthelenaunified.org/73788_3

You can give them to your school office secretary, email them to srobledo@sthelenaunified.org or drop them off at the district office. 

Thank you for your participation.
