Finance Committee

High level budget information was presented at Back to School night.  This year's budget allows us to save 5% of our income for future opportunties identified through familiies, the Principal, the Facility, Technology & Safety Committee, and the Strategic Planning and Policy Committee!

Another important note is that the cost to educate a student (K-6) is over $9,000!  Our current tuition for a single student of $3,900 is 43% of this cost.  The rest of the funding comes from subsidies and fundraising.

In order to control the tuition, families need to help us out:

• Be strong proponents of the school.  The easiest way to keep our school affordable and successful is to continue growing enrollment.  Put your yardsign out, follow, engage and share Facebook and Instagram informaiton.  Follow and support us on LinkedIn.
• Support the school fundraisers - most of which do not cost additional money!  Using the Scrip Program (purchase cards at face value, the school gets a percentage), link your Giant card to us through A+ rewards, collect your BoxTops for Education (and from friends and family) and send them in to the school.  Our major fundraiser is the Race for Education in May (over $30,000 last year).  Be sure to provide emails and addresses to send requests to.  Share on social media, we get many donations from friends, parishoners, alumni and acquaintances - the more exposure the Race has, the more successful we can be.

Principal Smith, the Finance Committee, and overall Board of Education manage the exenses, but as can be seen, we only control 10% easily . . . 80% are personell costs, and the other 10% are facility costs (utilities, maintenance, etc).
