Dear Saint Rose Families, 

On July 3, 2023, Ohio Governor DeWine signed the biennial budget bill. In it, there are many provisions that affect our Catholic school. One of these includes expanding the educational options for all Ohio families. Effective for the 2023-2024 school year, every family in Ohio will be eligible to receive some type of scholarship to attend a participating private school. The scholarship award amount is based on a family’s  adjusted gross income (found on line 11 of one’s 1040 tax form). Families who make 450% or less of the Federal Poverty guidelines are eligible for the full scholarship; families who make more than 450% are eligible for a partial scholarship. Please see the chart below to determine one’s poverty level:

poverty level:

For our Catholic school to financially operate, we rely on the income from three general areas: student tuition, generous donations and fundraising, and in our case, from the direct support of the Saint Rose Catholic Church. Our tuition rate for the 2023-2024 school year will now reflect the amount it costs our Catholic school to educate one student relative to our budgeted expenses. This modification in tuition aligns with a Diocesan policy for setting tuition rates and as a result of this budget bill, the State of Ohio is allowing private schools the opportunity to alter the previously listed tuition for this upcoming academic year. The school and parish administration, as well as members from the School Advisory Council and Saint Rose Parish Finance Council will evaluate our school budget, set a new tuition rate and communicate that rate with our school community in the coming weeks. 

We are encouraging all families to apply for an EdChoice Scholarship. The process to apply includes these steps:

• Complete a two-page application, and provide a current utility bill and birth certificate of your student to our school.
• Verify your income with the state of Ohio by submitting a form through the mail or, preferably, by creating an account and uploading an income document online. Please follow these instructions when creating an account.

We are happy to assist you with this process. If you have questions about applying for Ed Choice, please contact Kasha Rakosik at rakosik@saintroseonline.org

The Catholic Schools Office from the Diocese of Toledo is hosting a principal meeting in two weeks. More information will be provided after that meeting. In the meantime, please begin your EdChoice application process.

Sincerely,

Dr. Borgelt
