A tuition increase of approximately 5% was necessary to sustain just compensation for our teaching staff. The finance committee has received a number of requests to include the book bill with tuition. After much consideration, we decided to include the School (book bill), PTO and Cafeteria fees in the gross tuition figure for the first time this year. The benefits of having a combined tuition/school fees include:

· Along with tuition the book bill will now be divided to be paid over 11 months (July – May).

· This model provides for possible financial assistance on the book bill as well as tuition.

· One convenient monthly payment.

Note that tuition assistance is available to all families, based upon financial need. The Archdiocese has created a new voucher program; the Catholic Education Foundation has expanded its gift-based assistance, and Ascension has made a record high investment in its tuition assistance program.
