Early this month,
Governor Mike DeWine signed House Bill 33 into law, solidifying an extensive
expansion of the Ohio Department of Education’s EdChoice Scholarship Program.
As
you may know, the EdChoice Scholarship was expanded using a sliding scale
based upon the national poverty level. All Ohio school-aged children,
regardless of income, are now eligible to receive a full or partial scholarship
from the State of Ohio. The overall scholarship for both EdChoice and
Cleveland Scholarship was increased by $907 to $8,407 for high school aged
students.
Knowing that tuition levels and financial aid arrangements are
inextricably linked, the law provides nonpublic schools an additional window to
revise their published tuition. By state law, our school may adjust
tuition agreements to reflect these scholarship changes. Trinity High
School will be raising all tuition levels by the increase of $907. Rest
assured, following all adjustments, your
parental commitment will NOT increase any more than what you
had committed to when enrolling for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year.
If
you’re currently receiving a State Scholarship (EdChoice, EdChoice Expansion, Jon Peterson, Autism, or
Cleveland Scholarship), no new action is required. Once again,
please be fully aware the financial commitment you have already agreed to on
your Trinity High School Tuition Worksheet will remain exactly the same.
YOUR TUITION
OBLIGATION IS NOT CHANGING IN ANY WAY.
Trinity
High School’s cost of education is $16,076 per student, significantly
higher than the tuition charged for your child. The State of Ohio and the
Diocese of Cleveland have encouraged us to invest the increased revenue in
continuing to provide a quality education for your child.
Next
week, you will receive a communication about completing your PowerSchool
electronic Back to School forms. A form will be included
asking you to acknowledge you have read this communication by providing your
electronic signature.
We
continue to strive to make Trinity High School an even better, loving Christian
family. We provide an effective education for every student within a safe
building and environment. With loving adults leading, we move forward in
partnership with all our families to give God glory through who we are at
Trinity High School.
Peace
and all good,
Mr.
William J. Svoboda
