3 administrators (principal, vice principal, guidance counselor)

 

32 certified teachers

 

29 para educators (classroom aides, bathroom aides and such)

 

8 cafeteria staff

 

9 building support (custodians and building matienence)

 

3 office staff.

 

Is this an elementary school?

 

I can’t see how you could have 29 school aides in middle or high.

The public schools would take them. They'd have to. There are many areas, especially in rural locations, where private school simply isn't an option, and all kids are in public schools.

 

And they would have to hire more teachers, more staff and build additional classrooms or do split sessions like Campbell county did in the late 70's. Where would that funding come from?

It would comes from those students that attend the school. Part of a public school’s funding is based on the attendance. Schools are provided in part so much funding on a per student basis. So while where you live gets some funding from you directly the rest comes from the state.

 

Google SEEK formula and it will explain it in more detail. This is why schools will gain and lose positions due to the fluctuations in student population.

You may want to look into what % of students that attend Holy Cross have been in an LD program before you make statements like the bolded. And you are correct I sacrificed so my kids would not be attending school with all of those discipline problems. I cleaned toilets after school so I could attend a private high school. It's all about choices!

 

Yes, it is about choices. Thanks be to God that you were fortunate enough to have the wherewithal, knowledge and support to make your private education possible.

 

The point of my post was very simple. I often hear private school parents complain about paying taxes for public schools. My point is private schools need the public schools, and taxes paid to support public schools are a necessary part of the cost to send a child to private school. Private school parents often seem to begrudge paying taxes for public schools. I see those tax dollars as part of the overall cost structure of a private school education. Paying those taxes supports the private school you desire for your children. Do you see my point?

I see your point, but I’ve Never complained about paying taxes. And I’’m sure I already pay more taxes than those less fortunate or those that did not put themselves in a position to go to a private school if they had desired.

My beef on this particular situation is the teachers walking out because their benefits have been cut. Same folks that say they do it for the love of the job and to help kids. My company just closed an office and are laying off 165 employees in that office. My benefits have been cut recently. It is part of todays world and it comes to supply and demand. I get it where kids are involved and that touches everyone’s hearts. But there will still be teachers and if there becomes a shortage it should be a priority to restructure the budget to give them better pay/benefits to attract more of them, much like the private sector.

My point was that the budget would need to be increased dramatically.

702% increase in non-teaching positions is ludicrous.

Yes, 1 of 8 in the district, all structured roughly the same.

Where ?

 

My school doesn’t have 5 paraeducators.

 

Also paraeducators doesn’t exist in private schools.

Agree but I don’t see that with districts I’m around. We have cut back to the bare minimum and don’t see how we can cut back much more.

Where is this happening? Can those of you who have posted “facts” tell us ?

What district ? Elementary or middle and high ?

Not that much. Few need special services and most could participate in higher level classes. Public education could accept privates fairly easily.

Buddy drives a bus for a county school. He is busy this weekend. Kings island tomorrow zoo on Sunday. Who pays for that?

My facts came from a study linked above.
