Welcome to Finance Friday, some insight on school finance. Did you know that in 2023-2024 it is estimated to cost $15,445 to educate one student in FZSD? The costs of educational programs are the expenses the district incurs to retain highly qualified staff; provide instructional materials such as equipment and technology; and keep utilities on.
What’s the return on investment?
The Class of 2024 was offered almost $63 million in scholarships.19 graduates were recognized by National Merit, 5 were MO Scholars 100 and 17 are completing their U.S. Department of Labor Certified Apprenticeships.
