Ohh ouch, you're right.

Beyond insane and completely not acceptable especially with the lowering standards they have with their curriculum. It has been an underwhelming two years and I cannot believe that they think we are supporting this.

There is zero chance that they are giving staff salary increases anywhere near that. Because salaries are the biggest expense, there is zero chance that there expense rose 6-7%


You sure about that? Its only 6% and Houston Public Schools gave their teachers bonuses of $4,500. So did Atlanta - $4,000. Both increases are around 5% of pay. I heard FCPS gave bonuses as well but don't know how much.

Yes. There’s no grandfathering.

So what you’re saying is that SFS next year will be what STA and Holton charged last year?

Last year, the School raised tuition by an aggregate of 3.0%; Tuition rates for the 2022-23 academic year are as follows:

Grades PK-2: $47,200

Grades 3-4: $49,040

Grades 5-8: $51,240

Grades 9-12: $51,650


This is utterly ridiculous.
