SHIP Waiver Limbo? 

Are you one of the handful of families still waiting for the SHIP waiver appeal decision? First: We are so sorry! We know it's been frustrating. The new waiver criteria and auto-decision waiver application created confusion causing thousands of waiver appeals this season. As a result, the SHIP office has been managing unprecedented numbers of waiver appeals and inquiries. Second: We anticipate it may be a few more weeks until all cases have been cleared. In the interim, we are working with CARS to make sure families waiting for the waiver decision are not charged late fees if they haven't paid the SHIP portion of their bill. We'll be working with management, our SHIP student subcommittee and student government leaders on improvements for next year.
