High School Summer School Information

LEONARDTOWN - The High School Summer School program is for St. Mary's County Public School students currently enrolled in grades 9-12.

If I'm a taxpayer, but I send my kids to private high school, like KCA or Ryken, why are my children not eligible for summer school?

That's BS.

Nope. And even if they did, it wouldn't be covered by the years' tuition. It'd be more $$ out of pocket.

If there is no option at the private school, then I might want to take advantage.
Now, I've just been informed that there is an extra cost, therefore not covered by my tax dollars, so it pretty much negates my original beef. Problem solved.

That info was in David's post.
