  1. Standards for Quality Catholic Schools Our Lady of Charity Catholic School Parish and Regional Elementary Schools Archdiocese of Philadelphia

  2. Office of Catholic Education Superintendent’s Review of Schools for 2011-2012 Concerns: • Educational concerns: the current program would need to be slashed in order to cut costs (Art, PE, Library would all be removed from the school’s program). • Parish does not have the financial wherewithal to provide the money to the school for the deficit spending that would occur. • Tuition costs even with the noted cuts above would be too prohibitive for too many parents.

  3. Standards of Quality Catholic Schools Ideal Catholic School

  4. Current State ofOur Lady of Charity Catholic School • 89 children re-registered • 33 children not re-registered • Schools under 250 struggle financially and begin to lose ability to provide all that is expected in the Standards for Quality Catholic Schools • Current challenge calls for an even higher tuition rate than previously stated

  5. Class Sizes for 2011-2012

  6. Cost Per Pupil • 89 students $10, 225 • 122 students $7,459 • Projected parish deficit • 89 students $500,000 • 122 students $430,000

  7. School remains open with a cost of $7,000 to $10,000 per pupil because the parish does not have the $430,000 to $500,000 to contribute to the school. Each family that would be hard pressed to handle the increased tuition would leave the school causing the cost to go higher and rule more families out. Students attend St. Joseph in Aston next year until the Blue Ribbon Commissions’ work is completed. Reality and Plan

  8. Critical Questions • Refunds from the fees paid to date here at this school • Tuition for next year • Uniforms • Busing • Seeing the designated school • Others (please note on the index cards)
