(4,291 posts)The article mentions how the private school has already been to the federal trough to lap up tax dollars.
Despite having an endowment of more than $8 million, according to a 2017 tax filing, St. Andrews told CNN that it applied for the funds to ensure retention of our full faculty and staff ... during this very challenging and uncertain time.
School officials have refused to reveal how much federal aid was obtained, but some similar private schools in the area have collected millions in PPP funds. Annual tuition at St. Andrews for the 2020-2021 school year is $44,590 per student, plus fees.

(6,185 posts)Your kids, their teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria worker, janitors, administrators, and even elected school board members are all just expendable pawns to Trump, DeVos, and GOP legislators.
They all have some form of bone spurs exemption because you won't find them volunteering to work in the dangerous front lines of CV-19 enemies hiding in amongst the friendlies.
What is the term they use for those that die unnecessarily........ COLLATERAL DAMAGE!
