Last year, the schools failed to pass a fire inspection and could not qualify for a certificate of occupancy.

For example, some ask whether modern schools of ninjutsu qualify as "Koryū".

The high school has not passed a fire inspection and cannot qualify for a certificate of occupancy.

The school serves nearly 500 students in grades pre-K-6, and qualifies for 100% free lunch.

The school does not qualify pilots to fly large planes.

These schools also qualify for special city and state financing for the gifted.

And the schools would qualify for more state aid.

Every school in the district, he said, qualifies for Federal poverty-area funds.

"That would be a necessary step to ensure that we really move forward where every school has qualified arts specialists."

When these specific requirements are met, especially in the area of the school curriculum, the schools will qualify to receive state funding.
