[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers have to be paid for working.[/quote] 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.[/quote]

Before ESSER funds came in during the pandemic, MCPS summer school always charged tuition.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

They definitely did charge. Here is the 2020 memo, the last time they approved the tuition rates pre-Covid:

And here's the corresponding memo from 2014:

If I knew you, I’d buy you a drink! [/quote]
