It remember it said $350 per course when we registered.
But the bill is $364.25? Item Name Price Due Date 1 Full Tuition: 1 High School Summer Course - 2023/2024 $364.25 Aug/31/2024 Is the extra $14.25 a processing fee or something? Anybody knows? Thanks! |
Taxes or a fee |
C/c processing fee. |
And yet AP exams are totally covered this year for the first time. |
Teachers have to be paid for working. |
This was required by Maryland Blueprint for Education so Montgomery county had to cover AP fees. |
Yes, it's the fee, OP. Per course! |
Are you saying teachers weren't paid last year for working over the summer? I find that hard to believe. Perhaps I missed the communication on the cost, but it would have been helpful to know about the cost at the beginning of the school year. DS has a health class that he couldn't fit into his schedule because it wasn't offered and he was going to take it over the summer. I can't rationalize paying that much for a health class. |
Last year's summer school budget was paid for with federal ESSER funds, which no longer apply. |
Before ESSER funds came in during the pandemic, MCPS summer school always charged tuition. |
If you go in person and pay at business office, no processing fee. |
350 for Health B? scam. MCPS must be in real $ trouble to be charging that amount for that class! |
Off-topic but do you remember or have a link to this because it would help settle an argument between my husband and myself. He doesn’t think they used to charge and I remember a charge. |
They definitely did charge. Here is the 2020 memo, the last time they approved the tuition rates pre-Covid: https://go.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/files/BKFLWB5673E6/$file/FY2021%20Summer%20School%20Fees.pdf And here's the corresponding memo from 2014: https://go.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/files/9FYLDF5366CB/$file/10.0%20FY15%20Summer%20Schl%20Fees.pdf |
Because you think teachers work in the summer for free? How much do you think Health class would be if you took it elsewhere? |
