[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"only give 37% of $13,900"

that doesn't seem like it would be right. Why would the county give only a % of the fixed PER HEAD funding level for kindergarteners? Also that would be something surely the school would have pointed out very clearly in their public announcement on this - that they were getting only 1/3 of the money for kindergarteners that a regular public school would normally get.[/quote]

From what I understood at the parents meeting held after the charter closing announcement went out, the school took an unexpected hit in the teachers salaries. Since each teacher has 3,4 and 5 year olds in her class (the montessori primary age group), the county gave her a salary based on the percent of 5 year olds, since the county was funding K. The school had assumed the county would pay her salary in full, since she is a K teacher. Thus 37% of her salary was paid for. Or something like that. The money is definitely fuzzy. Not the administration's strong suit![/quote]
