- The document discusses different models of school funding, including a subsidy model where the parish subsidizes tuition costs. St. Mark Catholic School currently uses a subsidy model. - It recommends transitioning to a cost-based tuition with needs-based assistance model over 4-6 years to improve financial stability and faculty compensation. This would involve raising tuition rates and directing subsidies only to families in need. - The school implemented aspects of this model in 2006-2007, which increased enrollment by 20% while allowing salary increases and program improvements despite raising tuition 25-50%. Communication and needs assessment were keys to success.
