This program was developed in 1997 and seems to be part of Social Security. The states set up the guidelines, but they have to match money so it would seem they ought to be careful how many assets the people have before they let them enter. This is a huge problem with government programs, people hide their money. The IRS can filter through this sort of thing and disallow it, but all these pop-up programs may not have the facilities to sort through fraud so it goes unnoticed, or the clerks handling it don't care.

Tuition rates does not equal what the Frost's paid.

From the schools financial assistance program:

"Park enrolls students based on their talents and capabilities. Families who are unable to meet the full cost of tuition may apply for the Financial Assistance Program, which supplements tuition payments. Financial assistance does not need to be repaid.

In 2007, 18% of Park students in grades 1-12 received over $2 million in financial assistance that ranged from $1,000 per year to full tuition. Tuition remission for children of our faculty brings that total to 25% of the student body."
You mean the one about the fundraiser?

"Members of the Park Community joined together last Saturday and raised over $4000 for Gemma ’16 and Graeme ’13 Frost, who were seriously injured in a car accident on Hillside Avenue in November."

Sounds like the school felt like they needed financial assistance.

Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation assess the Frost's home at $263,140 on 01/01/2006 and $223,986 on 07/01/2007 and you put it at $600,000. Quite a difference, even given that tax assessments are generally lower than market price. Give it another week and it could be a million...LOL.
The selling price and date of the Frost's home is right there on anonymous freeper 'icwhatudo''s link to the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation
Again the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation puts the commercial property, on which the primary structure was built in 1920, hardly a new, modern site at $160,500 in 2005 and again in 2007, yet you put it at $250,000.
'Owning' a property does not correlate to having complete equity. How much does the Frost's own and how much is mortgaged?
If you need more space than a backyard will allow you, you do.
Besides, the selling price was $160,000. Why do you feel the need to constantly embellish, if your facts are correct?
The S-CHIP program allows some states, on approval, certain percentages above the poverty line.
You are aware that the families pay premiums, depending on income, right?

I've seen evidence that they attended the school, not how the Frost's paid.
If public schools can't accommodate an impaired child they must provide an alternative. It's actually cheaper to 'outsource' than to fully fund a facility that may go unused after the child moves on.

$45,000 a year for a family of 6 would come under my idea of children needing assistance for health care, YMMV
