2013-14 Tuition St. Austin Catholic School Christ Grounded, Child Centered, Community Engaged
Mission St. Austin Catholic school is committed to preparing life-long learners in the Catholic tradition. We develop spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical excellence in each individual. Our school creates responsible, contributing, moral leaders in the Church and community.
Goals • Maintain/attract high quality staff • Ensure a curriculum rich environment that promotes life-long learning • Provide a safe and nurturing learning atmosphere • Support a strong, family-oriented community
Considerations • Tuition has not kept up with rising costs to operate. • Staff have not received a raise in two years and salaries are below 85% of Austin ISD salaries. • Fundraising had to be used to provide basic operational costs.
Considerations (continued) • Expenses have increased due to health insurance, utilities, updating materials, etc. • Due to parish financial challenges, the parish subsidy has decreased over time. • Actual cost to educate a child last year was $7510 yet tuition was $5300 yielding a tuition discount of $2210.
