School children who claim that the financial condition of their families is such that they cannot afford to pay for the required materials and supplies may request financial assistance from the school district.
Before any financial assistance is given to such children, the parent or guardian of the child(ren) shall submit a statement of need to the district administrator for evaluation. If the student's family is on welfare or is receiving aid from any of the welfare organizations, this fact should be noted on the statement. Requests for financial assistance shall be filed in the administrative office. The parent or guardian of the child(ren) shall be advised of any action taken by the administrative office.
The administrative office shall report the names of indigent children to the authority administering general relief for the county.
