Tuition Information

The PASAR program was initiated and implemented and continues to operate as a for profit service provided by the District.  This program is self-supported through tuition and fees.  No tax dollars or grant funds are used to support the after school care program.   The program is budgeted on 179 school days.  Tuition and our revenue stream is based on annual cost.  To keep the monthly payments at a consistent amount, we have based the monthly payments on an average monthly cost.  Each monthly payment is not tied to the number of days of school for the specific month.

We value our customers and the students we serve.  We know there are other after school care options in our area.  We are hopeful that our customers will see that the monthly payment is based on the overall care program for 179 days of school.
