[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even at $60k, Holton does not cover operating costs on tuition alone. They make up the shortfall with donations. Tuition would need to be around $70k (I forget the exact number) to break even, without donations. I think they could make it work at the current tuition rate (without donatins) if they dropped financial aid, but there's a drawback to that of course.

Tuition was $50,375 in 2022-2023, is $57,875 in the current year (2025-2026). That's a 14.9% increase, compared to a CPI (inflation) increase of about 10% during that period.

To me, that's not crazy when measured against inflation.

Oh, and the school opened with a 2-hour delay on Thursday, and operated a full schedule on Friday. How did MCPS do?[/quote]

I would be interested to know the correspondin increase in teachers’ and HOS salaries. I suspect the latter greatly surpasses the former.  [/quote]

I have no information on this, but I've seen similar questions in the context of big companies. There just aren't that many people in top management (or HOS, in this case) roles so increasing their salary by even 50% has a much smaller dent on the budget than raise salaries of all non-management by 10%, just because there are so many more of them.[/quote]
