The San Marcos CISD Board of Trustees approved tuition rates for its 2019-2020 Pre-Kindergarten Program during its regular meeting on Monday.
The board originally moved the rate for $5,040 in March 2015 to $3,900 in March 2016. The district requested that the full-day tuition remain at $3,900 and a half-day tuition of $1,950. The trustees unanimously approved the tuition scale requested by the district.
“I want to say that I appreciate that we have now added a half-day program and I think that’s terrific,” trustee Anne Halsey said. “I would like it if administration and staff can look over the course of this year for any other opportunities that we might be able to decrease that rate even further. If there are grants available, if there are private partnerships, if there are public partnership where we might be able to seek additional monies. I know its an affordable rate but I still think that we have a lot of families that it’s still very expensive for them to pay that are really on the cusp.”
