Update: Following a scandal at Aki Kurose Middle School, apparently the district has pulled the principal, Caine Lowery who leaves Aki for a promotion to Central Office to support/train/guide principals. Hmm. I also note that former Rainier View Elementary principal Anitra Jones, who was removed from that school, still doesn't show up on the staff roster at Rainier Beach High School where it was stated she would be. Where is she? Who knows? end of update This is going to be a difficult post to write because it is sad to see what looks like a norm now at JSCEE.

**For this coming cycle (i.e. 2015-16 HS seniors & college freshman applying for 2016-17 academic year), Nothing changes. FAFSA window opens Jan. 1, 2016, based on 2015 tax filings.
**For the next cycle (High school class of 2017 [this year's juniors] & 2016-17 college sophomores [this year's college freshmen], the FAFSA application window opens Oct. 1, 2016, is for financial aid for the 2017-18 academic year, and will be based on 2015's taxes.
**For the years after that, FAFSA application window continues to be opened on October of the year prior to the academic year one is applying for, and will be based on taxes filed 2 years prior to the academic year one is applying for.
Clear as mud, right? I apologize if I haven't explained that well.
