The Paso Robles Joint Unified School District will be participating in the Year 6 California Department of Education (CDE) sponsored "Classified Summer Assistance Program" (California Education Code Section 45500). The State grant program assists classified employees in saving money for the summer months when they don't receive a paycheck. 

How it Works:

  1. You determine your contribution amount, which can be up to 10% of your gross pay.
  2. The deadline to apply is March 1, 2026. 
  3. Your deferred funds and a percentage of the State matching dollars will be paid out in Summer 2027; the remainder amount from the State will be apportioned to the District in the Fall of 2027.
  4. Send completed Participation forms (coming soon) to the District Office Business Department, or email esdavis@pasoschools.org
