2016 0522 2035 gppss preschool tuition analysis 

Hello all,

As you know, based on the inability of the public to access Agenda Items M and N, I have asked that they be moved to Information and Discussion.

Much has been said about viewing the Infant Program, the Toddler Program and the Pre-K Programs as one program when in fact they are three distinct and discreet programs as evidenced by the three income and expense statements provided to us by the administration.

That being said, attached is a spreadsheet showing the financial implications of keeping our present pricing structure under which the Pre-K parents are subsidizing the Infant and Toddler parents versus one in which all are paying their own way.

One thing that came out of this analysis is that even if we do combine all three programs for the purposes of reaching a cost and revenue neutral goal, they are not there.  Note the combined loss in both 2015-16 and 2016-17.  If I have made a calculation error on this, please let me know and I will be happy to correct.

Thank you,

Ahmed
