-Classroom room rent
During the early April, NCLS principals had a meeting with Newton public school facility department, discussed the classroom rent fee. Since the various utility fee have been increased significantly, Newton public school committee decided to increase the classroom rent for all current clients annually until 2020, to cover this significant amount of increased expenses. The rent increase will be started from July 1, 2016.
For the current NCLS tuition, which has been used to cover mainly the classroom rent fee and the teacher’s stipend, can not cover the increased rent. In order to cover the increased gap, the school board has decided to increase a small percentage of the tuition from 2016 – 2017 school year.
Another thing, for the gym usage, the school used to allow parents play basketball and ping pong for free, but from the next school year, all parents who are going to play at gym need to pay certain amount of fee. All these money will be used to cover gym rent fee.
The detail information will be posted later.
If you have any questions regarding to the rent increase, you can stop by the library.
