Mr. Uher,
Since you felt some of the other threads were getting too long to follow, I have taken the liberty of copying a posting from Mr. Brink here. The information is too valuable to be ignored or forgotten at its other location. (Forgive me Webmaster)
As an agent of PLSD, will you address the information below?
From the June 11 Superintendent?’s report to the Board: 497 seniors graduated in 2001 and 65% of graduating seniors received scholarships totaling $5.4M.
This implies the average scholarship received was over $16,200.
In this context, the word ?“scholarship?” is intended to suggest an award for academic, artistic or athletic potential, and a positive reflection on the school system. Hence, financial aid should not be included in these figures. Nor should the Ohio Student Choice Grant because these are not based on need or merit ?— they are intended to narrow the tuition gap between the state's public and private non-profit colleges and universities. This year, that grant was $1,062.
The tuition at Ohio State was approximately $5,000 per year. Other state schools are slightly higher. Private schools, such as Capital, have tuition in the range of $18,000 per year.
On the surface, the scholarship numbers simply don?’t add up. Since Mr. Uher reports that Mr. Yokum follows these pages, perhaps he could explain how the scholarship numbers are determined.
