[quote=Anonymous][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]

The fee for summer school is only the exact dollar figure approved by the Board of Education. They are the legal authority that sets the fee. There is no charge on top of that.[/quote]
