Board raises full-day preschool tuition to $175 per week; employees keep 50% discount
Summary
The Clarksville board unanimously approved raising full-day preschool tuition to $175 per week for the upcoming school year, while maintaining a 50% tuition reduction for district employees; board and staff framed the change as an adjustment after four years without an increase.
The Clarksville Community School Board voted unanimously to increase full-day preschool tuition to $175 per week for the next school year.
Dr. Allred told the board the district is entering its fifth year of full-day preschool and noted there had been no tuition increase in the previous four years. "With the times and the cost, it's time for us to look at that," Dr. Allred said when presenting the recommendation. The board approved the change following a motion and second.
The board also confirmed that district employees who use the program will continue to receive a 50% tuition reduction. No additional fee schedules or tiered discounts were announced during the meeting; staff indicated the district would proceed with implementing the single-rate increase.
The increase takes effect for the next school year. Staff said they would proceed with notifying families and updating enrollment materials and registration systems to reflect the new weekly rate and the retained employee discount.
