At its Dec. 13 meeting, the Long Beach Public Schools Board of Education approved a resolution to increase the maximum income eligibility for senior citizens and for persons with disabilities. This is the result of a recent change in state law.

Long Beach Public Schools has provided this limited income exemption to senior citizens and to those with disabilities since the year 2000.

The new exemption income levels are as follows:

$50,001-$50,999   45%
$51,000-$51,999   40%
