The Mt. Misery Program’s costs appear to have been severely misrepresented. There are numbers being floated around the $175K mark. These are nowhere near the acutal costs… if any!
There are two major benefactors that are contributing $60K towards expenses. Combined with cost savings and parent contributions, the cost, if any is less than $20K per year!
This is a substantial difference in costs and, in a worst case scenario, represents no more than 1/6000ths of the school budget.
The questions remain as to why false numbers are being presented in the budget and what the real reasons for coming down on this program?
This is a 40-year tradition that not only helps keep Cherry Hill from being consolidated into other districts, but also provides a wonderful experience for the children and fond memories of school.
