FAMILY INCENTIVES
Up to $1,000 cash incentive for families with children:
This incentive is for families moving to Curtis from another school district with children 18 years and younger. If your child is of school age they must be enrolled at Medicine Valley Public Schools in order to receive the money. Families with one child will receive $500, two children will receive $750 and three or more children will receive $1,000.
If you move to Curtis with the intent of buying or building a home within a year of moving here you will be eligible for the Student Incentive and would receive your money after your home is purchased or built.
An application will need to be filled out before the time of purchasing or building a home. If you plan on renting first with the intent of buying or building within a year, you will need to fill out an application stating that.
