Private School Funding Sources:
Private schools receive no funding from government, so they have to get money from other sources. The primary source of funding for private schools is through tuition. Tuition is per student annually and varies extensively depending on the type of school and the quality of education.

Many private schools in the area are non-profit. They have a budget for financial aid that they need to give away to students. If they don't give that away that would be profit. Nonprofit schools cannot have profit so all the money in the financial aid budget needs to be given away. So the poster is wrong thinking that the financial aid families are seen as "freeloader". The universities and private K-12 schools use financial aid to attract smart and/or diverse body of students.

They probably got low key blackballed from the PTA. I’m guessing their winning personality had them locked out

Too much free time on your hands. Lots of non-billable hours. A busybody.

Wow. You’re sad, you know that.

We just hope you are full pay.

If everyone was full pay, the financial aid budget would not need to be given away. It would still benefit the school.

There are some private schools like that I guess. Most are probably for profit.

The only actual difference between profit and non-profit is marketing.

I will add that any decent school would be run as a non-profit for tax purposes.

That is correct. But you also need to realize that private schools distribute in millions as financial aid to students. That is a very important service to their communities, and that money is coming from the rich families who donated money and paid full tuition. I think the least we can do is appreciate it and not attack. If you want to ask detailed questions to various schools I assume you can ask their administration offices. They would be happy to give you specific numbers regarding financial aid amounts and the racial diversity of the student body that receives aid.

I've noticed that many families have become openly against diversity efforts. We are POC, and I've had parents casually express how DEI initiatives hurt the quality of the surrounding private schools. Although I'm disappointed in the lack of thoughtfulness, I'm not surprised.

I already pulled applications from a couple of schools that have suddenly committed to a less diverse path since I started my application process. I'm now nervous I will be stuck at a school where my child's presence diminishes its quality.

I would appreciate insights on the current climate of your current institution. I will not take it personally. I don't have the energy to be a part of a diversity struggle. I'm sure other POC parents will also agree.

I don’t think they meant diversity. They might have meant DEI programming. Either way, they’re idiots.

Most financial aid is a discount for upper middle class kids.

Remember: Admissions and financial aid committee cannot give admissions/financial aid to anyone who does not apply for them.

True, and if you don’t get enough to make it affordable it isn’t the school’s fault or a personal affront. Private school is not a guarantee or a right.

Total BS.

Not a single private is “going whiter.”

Didn't Moms for Liberty Light mainly focus on K-8 books with pornographic content? Cant the publishers and editors take those segments out and then be fine?

I am not familiar with Moms of Liberty but my kids go to a private K-12 and a few years back in middle school I was horrified with some of the required reading. One book after another with dark or sexually explicit topics - For example, the main character who always happens to be a POC and was physically/sexually abused by a parent or other trusted adult and then runs away and commits suicide. Another where the main character (also a POC) wants to be transgender and afraid to tell Dad and 300 pages later commits suicide. Then they had to read Ibram X Kinde. It was just way too much for these little 12 year olds, especially under the backdrop of the pandemic when kids were struggling with depression.

WTF x 3.
