Is Sachem North the team that recruits and has "transfers"?
Yes, several key new players came into the district this year - whether recruited, transferred, or otherwise is your choice.
The more concerning aspect is that the Sachem School District has now established a Board of Education level policy dealing with Non-Resident Tuition Rates. This entire discussion opens a new element in the public versus private education debate.
Approval for Establishment of Non-Resident Tuition Rate
RECOMMENDED ACTION: “that, upon the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools, the Board of Education approves the tuition rate for the child of a nonresident to attend the Sachem School District. The formula to calculate the tuition rate for a regular education pupil is determined by the New York State Department of Education. The estimated tuition rate for a student, full day K–6, for the 2009-10 school year is $4,972.00. The estimated tuition rate for a student, grade 7-12, for the 2009-10 school year is $8,056.00. The actual 2009-10 and 2010-11 school year tuition rates have not yet been calculated. Therefore, it is recommended, if in the event a child of a non-resident is approved to attend full day K-6 in the Sachem School District, the tuition charged will be $4,972.00 and for a student to attend grade 7-12 in the Sachem School District, the tuition charged will be $8,056.00 and shall be modified upon receipt of the 2010-11 tuition rates.”
