Couldn't agree more. Would be a great matchup with a huge crowd.
As a fan of all things St. Joes I’m offended by the stray the Tarblooders just caught. Lol
VASJ is making the investments from the money they received through donors, money they have raised from other events over time to enhance the building from the 20th century to the 21st century. They’re finally installing HVAC to replace the outdated boiler system. Replacing the windows, updating classrooms, STEM labs, and athletic facilities to bring it up to par compared to other schools in the area.
That is the problem with guys like you. You believe everything that you read from the bathroom wall.
Well I suppose if Ohio Department of Education data on voucher is on bathroom wall that would be correct but in this case I don’t believe it is. Clearly you lack the ability to state facts so you resort to attacks. Maybe VAsj lacks a logic class so you should be forgiven.
Here’s the problem though, voucher dependency is not sustainable. Hard working families and wealthy families will go elsewhere when they see the rest of the school utilizing vouchers. These families will want fairness and it isn’t fair they pay fair full share and voucher families get a near full ride. This may seem trivial but it isn’t in reality. Trust me, every kid knows which kids are on vouchers. Also the endowment will be rapidly drained and not replaced by voucher families. Just watch!
I see DeSales advertises right on their website how to apply for Ed Choice “vouchers”. How does the “hard working” and “wealthy” families feel about your school promoting this “unfair practice” as you describe?
Get lost and go start a voucher thread
It’s weird. I’ve never seen this guy post on a DeSales thread. Always bashing Mentor and VASJ for some reason.
To be honest, not great!! It’s a double edged sword as we are seeing families that ten years ago would not have attended. On the other hand it is a reality that the endowment funds will be taxed.
Yes.
Yes but some schools are more dependent on it than others. DeSales and Lake use it but are not dependent on it VAsj and Clev Centr Catholic need it to keep the doors open. Again though this is not a sustainable model as the endowment is often used to make up the difference.
No offense but every private school in todays economy needs the vouchers to keep the doors open. If not for vouchers many schools would be on life support or closed. Do you think what happened at Notre Dame College was an isolated incident ? Expect more small colleges to be closing. Not many families nowadays have an extra $800 or so a year for high school. The vouchers are helping more then just inner city kids.
Enrollment has declined but the families that have enrolled are fully invested and will support the endowment.
It will not close, no issue there. Good people and a solid marketing team is now in place. They have had some unfortunate public relations issues over the last seven years but things are looking up.
Is there a reason why Lake and VASJ are not playing ? They played two years ago at Mentor and it was a really entertaining game.
That's still insane Mentor sucks now. MLC is the best team up that way
It’s a Gibbons coached team, the defense will be fast and physical. They’ll be just fine…
We may not be comparing the same data. This snapshot appears to reflect the total number of enrolled students. The newsletter data I shared (don't shoot the messenger, I'm relaying data) is THIS YEAR'S ENROLLMENT is up 40%.
Fbrox, well said.
Ironmike - I want what’s best for Lake. Not sure why you keep talking about this newsletter. Like I told you on a previous post you ignored, you’re stating false information. Here is a screenshot of what you keep talking about. The “ENROLLMENT” is NOT up 40%. Now, read this again carefully…
And yes, Stanzi is on the staff again this season.
Lake has 0 chance of closing. What the hell happened to this thread?
