Over the past years, the ACS Board of Trustees has been making the decision
to increase the tuition on a yearly basis to keep up with the rising
operational costs and inflation.
We , as parents , are committed to giving our children an opportunity for a quality
education that will set them on a path to a successful future .We also chose ACS
due to its high academic standards and its commitment to a well-rounded
approach to education.
As the school board is making decisions for the
coming school year, we would like to ask them to be mindful of the fact that parents are also burdened by the stagnant economic growth which has
affected our businesses and our livelihoods. Not to mention the increase in
taxes and the exponential increase in the cost of living.
Through signing this petition, we respectfully ask the Board of Trustees at
ACS to utilize creativity in dealing with this prevailing situation, and to
think of ways besides tuition increases to budget and plan for the coming
scholastic year 2020/2021 and beyond. A consistent annual increase is
unsustainable especially for those with multiple children attending your
school.
Thanking you all for your cooperation .
Other private schools have confirmed no tuition increases. Maybe the school should start looking inwards and start making significant savings on expenditures rather than making parents pay more.
