Apparently schools have started requiring stay at home parents to verify that they don't work by having a written "I don't work or bring in any form of income" statement notarized.
Personally, I think it's ridiculously unnecessary and a pain in my butt. . . fortunately my mother's a notary but, come on - notarizing I'm not employed? What bull.
Why so? Is being unemployed really that big of a problem all of a sudden with the economy being in the tanker?
It's standard to request copies of income - like LES statements or W2's for grant purposes but this seems a bit over reaching.
Since I have to go out of my way to provide this notarized statement I'm interested, as well, in finding out why they want it.
:thinking
So your applying for a grant for a university?
I'm a bit confused.
Signing my son up for pre-K, actually - which is covered by state grants for those who qualify. Unlikely we'll qualify for grant coverage. The sign-up packet is generic for all parents and students.

Ohh I see.
For what it's worth I suggest you search out the income requirements for the grant before wasting your time filling out the forms.
There should be something about the minimum income on the internet.
On a side note, many studies are showing that Pre-K and Kindergarten are worthless for child development and education.
first, your mother would be wrong to notarize the statement of a family member
that is not an arms length relationship
second, if they want to prosecute those who claim no income and an entitlement to government benefits - but which claim is illigitimate in part or in whole because they do earn income, then this sworn, notarized statement will be used against them by the prosecutor
without that statement, the prosecutor has little evidence to prove a lie about not receiving income
i would be surprised if the school did not have notaries on staff who would be able to notarize a sworn affadavit of no income if that statement was executed in their presence
So, in Arkansas, Pre-K is partially paid for by the parents?
Sorry for the confusion, but in Georgia, we have a lottery with X slots available and either your name is drawn or it isn't. But if it is, its paid for by lottery money.
why are they doing this? do your children get some sort of aid?Apparently schools have started requiring stay at home parents to verify that they don't work by having a written "I don't work or bring in any form of income" statement notarized.

i don't understand how they could even require w-2s.It's standard to request copies of income - like LES statements or W2's for grant purposes but this seems a bit over reaching.

ah.....now i see. makes perfect sense then, of course.Signing my son up for pre-K, actually - which is covered by state grants for those who qualify. Unlikely we'll qualify for grant coverage. The sign-up packet is generic for all parents and students.

I disagree, though not with heavy fervor - my daughter was in Pre-K and is advanced. However, I don't know if she's advanced because of Pre-K, or if she's advanced because she's just advanced. Either way, I'd like to think it's because of Pre-K . . . but it might not be, no big deal one way or another. I don't advocate for anything or die shoving my kids in - no camping outside all night like my sister did to put her son in a daycare last year.
Him attending this is more so because I, also, have run through my online-courses that were available to me. To continue college I have to be able to attend the University and I'd rather not postpone it a year. If he doesn't attend Pre-K at the school he'd be at a regular daycare. There is a significant difference in the environment and routine between the two - I'd rather have him at the Pre-K in the school than elsewhere, his sister is already attending the school and he's already familiar with his teacher - transportation and environment won't be an issue, so on and so forth.

I thought the state lottery funded Pre-K.
Yeah. That's what I mean. It also funds a lot of useless stuff like 750k theaters for the three plays a year that most schools put on.
