Community awareness

St. Bartholomew Consolidated School

http://www.sbcsedu.org

SBCS is a K-8 elementary school representing these parishes: Corpus Christi, in New Burlington Our Lady of the Rosary, in Greenhills St. Bartholomew, in Springfield Township St. Clare, in College Hill St. John Neumann, in Springfield Township The term "consolidated" emphasizes the fact that our parishes work jointly in supporting the school. In addition to the children from these parishes, we have a significant number of non-parishioner students who bless our community. Our school is operated, supported, and directed by St. Bartholomew Consolidated School Board of Education. As part of the Cincinnati Archdiocesan system of schools, SBCS's operation is pursuant to the policies of the Archdiocesan and Area Commissions on Education. How are decisions made? SBCS is the parish school for all five parishes, and each parish has equal voice in the governance of the school. Final decisions concerning the school rest with the five pastors who are advised by the SBCS Board. The Board consists of the five pastors, school administration, school CRE (Coordinator of Religious Education), and two representatives from each of the five parishes. Who is responsible for finances (budget, tuition, collection)? SBCS relies on funding from the five parishes. The Board oversees the school budget, but final approval for the budget depends on the 5 Pastoral (Parish) Councils. The per-pupil cost of instruction is determined by the Board's Finance Committee (and approved by the Board) and is the amount that each parish is charged per parish student. Each parish is responsible for (1) determining what the tuition cost and parish contribution will be for their parishioners, and (2) collecting tuition from participating parishioners. Tuition for non-parishioners is determined by the school board and collected through the tuition management system.
