Chesaning Union Schools FAFSA Board Policy
Adopted: 2024-2025 School Year
To best position our graduates for multiple, viable post high school pathways, eliminating potential barriers and ensuring that school and district staff prioritize the support for students and families, beginning with the class of 2025, we are requiring the following:
1. Complete one of the following: (1) a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), (2) a district waiver form indicating that the student and family understand what these aid opportunities are and has chosen not to complete an application. If the student is not at least 18 years of age or legally emancipated, the student's parent/guardian must complete one of these documents on the student's behalf, (3) school or district exemption that certifies to the district board that good-faith efforts were made to assist the student or the student's parent/legal guardian in either completing the FASFA or obtaining a district waiver.
A district shall exempt a student from the requirement to complete the FAFSA if any of the following are met:
1. The student's parent or legal guardian, or the student if the student is 18 years of age or older, is an emancipated minor, or is an unaccompanied youth, has submitted a parental waiver (obtained by a standard form provided by MiLEAP) to the district exempting the student from completing the FAFSA.
2. The student is unable to complete the FAFSA because of privacy concerns. All of the following are met: After a good-faith effort, the student's parent or legal guardian refuses to sign the parental waiver, is unresponsive, or cannot sign the parental waiver. The student is unable to complete the FAFSA as an independent student. The student agrees to opt out of completing the FAFSA. Other than the requirements in subsection (2) of Sec. 67f of Public Act 120 of 2024, the student is on track to graduate.
