Private High School / PPP

tuition had been paid or was being paid by parents, how is a private high school allowed to collect PPP funds?

You didn’t actually have to be negatively impacted by covid-19 to get the money. You had to fear you would be negatively
Impacted now or in the near future.


It’s a bullshite spending bill

If you were a teacher you’d understand the struggle. Going online has made their job from 12 hours a day 6 days a week to 24 hours a day 7 days a week because the internet doesn’t close like the school does

Great username.

Private schools make 75-80% of their money from aftercare.

This. Lots of employees furloughed from day cares at private schools. Lots of loss of income from that area, as well as -as you have pointed out- after care programs.

It is my understanding there were no receivable problems with tuition.

That’s a very important part of the equation, and it’s basically a little more than a rumor at this point.

Were there any events or a big fundraiser they had to cancel?

Is the school affiliated with a church?

The school is probably like a lot of other businesses and organizations that received funds despite being impacted very little financially by the shutdown. However, it’s possible they were impacted a lot more than you think.

Prob bc those parents get tired of paying taxes for trash schools and then gotta pay more to get a better education.

Omg, you motherfricking teachers complain about everything! Dont like it, change careers.

Quit complaining.

Is a private high school not a business?

Negative impact was not a requirement.

Also, who knows what the future holds.

There could be major problems in the coming months.

(I’m against the program, FYI, but virtually every business with employees could qualify)

What happens is people go into this career thinking it will be some glorious job and realize it isn't. Then they go on Facebook and complain to try and receive the arse-kissing they thought they'd already have.
