La Fondation du Lycée Français International de Washington Lycée Rochambeau Réponse à la pétition visant au gel (ou à la diminution) des frais de scolarité pour une durée de trois ans Reply to the petition requesting a three year school tuition fees’ freeze (or decrease) 2 Nous ne pouvons que vous assurer limiter au minimum nécessaire l’évolution des frais de scolarité, soutenu en cela par le Proviseur. Nous comprenons la préoccupation qu’expriment des parents en soumettant une telle pétition. S’il existait un moyen de geler ou de réduire les frais de scolarité, nous serions heureux de pouvoir le mettre en œuvre dès lors qu’il ne remettrait pas en cause la teneur des engagements déjà pris et la qualité de l’enseignement dispensé par le Lycée. Nous demeurons d’ailleurs ouverts à toute suggestion allant en ce sens. Pour toute question, suggestion ou information complémentaire concernant les présentes, n’hésitez pas à nous contacter via courrier électronique à l’adresse suivante board@rochambeau.org. Restant à votre écoute, nous vous souhaitons une bonne fin d’année scolaire au sein du Lycée Rochambeau. Bien sincèrement, Catherine Schaeffer Présidente du Conseil d’Administration Stéphanie Kamaruzzaman Comité Communication 9600 Forest Road BETHESDA MD 20814 board@rochambeau.org
La Fondation du Lycée Français International de Washington Lycée Rochambeau Réponse à la pétition visant au gel (ou à la diminution) des frais de scolarité pour une durée de trois ans Reply to the petition requesting a three year school tuition fees’ freeze (or decrease) 3 June 10, 2010 Dear parents, You may be aware of a petition circulating within the Rochambeau community, and requiring a three year school tuition fees’ freeze (or even a reduction). Having had the opportunity to talk with the petition’s author, we explained to him that the Foundation is not in a position of making such a commitment. On one hand, several contractual obligations are currently binding the Lycee Rochambeau and preventing us from contemplating such an option: Lycee Rochambeau’s Conventionnement with the AEFE, as recently renewed, entails the payment to the AEFE of an annual 6% contribution on the school’s tuition fees starting year 2011-2012; the current collective agreements’ negotiations between the Foundation and the Lycee’s administrative and faculty personnel does not take into consideration a wages’ freeze (even less a reduction) and their result will have an impact on the next three years; the Rollingwood campus’ lease agreement, due to expire, needs to be renewed, and a possible rent increase cannot be excluded; the mortgage/loan taken by the Lycee for its recent Forest Road campus’ renovation and expansion shall be duly executed; generally, the usual annual increase in operational costs (despite our policy to carefully manage the school’s expenditures) shall be accommodated. On the other hand, the determination of the level of the school’s tuition fees includes the following factors: maintaining an acceptable number of students per class; maintaining a dynamic education of high quality, with a faculty staff of great standards (achieved through continuous training) and adequate educational resources and tools; maintaining and/or improving a pleasant and safe environment within all three campuses. The above described constraints, together with our willingness to consolidate our three campuses into two in a near future, do not allow the Foundation to realistically consider a tuition fees’ freeze (and even less a reduction) for the next three years. We can only reassure you that the tuition fees’ future increase will be strictly limited to its necessary minimum, thanks to the Head of School’s constant support. 9600 Forest Road BETHESDA MD 20814 board@rochambeau.org
