Help Families Find Additional Income

It is not unusual for a school to not have enough tuition aid money to help all families to the extent that they need help.

Many schools have addressed this problem by reserving part time employment opportunities within the school for applicant families. At least, give them a hiring priority. There are numerous jobs that could be reserved for these families, such as: housekeeping, teacher's aid, maintenance, kitchen, bus driver, special school projects, or special maintenance projects.

Schools can also minister to these families by developing a system for keeping tabs on part time employment opportunities within the community. There are many ways to do this. One suggestion is to ask either your church families or your school families to complete a form that tells you about opportunities they are aware of, along with a contact person and phone number.

You will need to be diligent to keep these up to date, asking for these referrals on a regular basis. These can be posted on your website for any family needing a little extra income to view.
