Whoever you are can you please stop.
You have no idea what you are talking about. The majority of the school is celebrating tonight. We are moving forward and will be stronger than ever. If you are this miserable please do us all a favor and just schedule a meeting with the leadership and address your concerns or find another school to torture

Are you saying that previously there was no vetting for need? Yikes.

Interesting! So, does the higher amount reflect the true cost of education at the school given the current enrollment numbers? And the lower cost is perhaps more in line with last's year's tuition rates? Explain more! I've never heard of any other school doing this. Is it an appeal to conscience?

Exactly

Enjoy the moment and don’t be a fun sponge

Please explain the tiered tuition situation. Is it just that some families are receiving financial aid? Doesn't that contribute to the diversity that everyone is lauding? Doesn't that help Catholic families who have a lot of kids? I know - the budget has to get balanced somehow.

Steering committee knows

Is the entire steering committee privy to the financial aid/tiered tuition allocations? This seems like information that should be kept confidential.

It's a short victory until the tiered tuition is handled. Otherwise, resentment will prevail.

Let's celebrate the fact that our beloved school is staying open. Hopefully other families will have read this thread and know how dedicated we are to St. Bart's. The $$ details will get ironed out!
