[quote=Anonymous]This is the letter from the HoS at Bullis:

"We also want you to be aware of an important date in the admissions calendar. The Association of Independent Schools of Greater Washington (AISGW) has recommended to schools in the association that the binding date for enrollment contracts going forward should be May 1. Previously, it was June 1. Bullis will be following this recommendation. This means that if you have executed a school enrollment contract, you can withdraw from it before May 1 and only lose the non-refundable deposit. After May 1, the contract becomes fully enforceable, and the entire tuition for the following year is payable.

This change has been made to avoid the time crunch at the end of May when school is extremely busy and the school year is ending. It is a less-than-ideal time for both schools and waitlisted students to make decisions about the following year. The May 1 deadline gives families plenty of time to reconsider their enrollment decision, if necessary, and waitlisted students time to consider late offers."

This applies to most private schools. What do you think about this?

a. It just benefits schools by making the contract stricter.
b. It benefits families.
c. I do not care; I have other things to worry about.
