[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a two-fed family paying full price for our son’s tuition. I’m wondering if any privates are considering the financial situations of their fed families. While I realize they cannot waive tuition as the schools have bills to pay, it might be nice to give the option of paying once the gov reopens. Or at the very least (in our case) stop with the constant phone calls and emails about the annual giving campaign. [/quote]

Absolutely call the business office and explain! They will want to work with you.

I don't blame schools for not making blanket policies though because, well, this always happens. We've had Covid, DOGE, the previous record-holding shutdown, etc., all of which affected different DC households and industries in different ways. They can't really make broad dispensations in some cases and not others.

(I totally hear you on the annual giving calls, but look at it this way: raising money is exactly how schools give themselves the ability to be flexible when things like this happen! You have no obligation to give personally, so just tune it out for now and give back later if that feels right to you.)
