This....which is why most if not all private schools will open as normal. I just got an email yesterday letting me know that my daughter's school will be open as normal (no distancing, no masks, etc) on Aug. 13....as it should be.

As soon as a kid test positive the school has to close
I heard the same thing. Someone told me that Zachary had some plans in place and one of the plans was to go back to e-learning if a student tested positive. I haven't read it anywhere so I considered it as hearsay. It could have come from some facebook BS post and passed along, but I wouldn't be surprised either way.

I’ve never been there but the menu looks very fancy.

My youngest is in the same situation as your buddy's kid, private school 3K moving to 4k next year. They tried e-learning but you are right, it is pointless at that age. The school acknowledged as much and they are crediting us one month's tuition for next school year.
Everything I am receiving from them indicates they are planning to open as normal unless the state mandates all schools close. However the loophole with their early education program (4k and under) is that it can technically be run as a daycare so I anticipate that is the direction they will go in case of school closures.

I’ve already made our school aware that I’m not paying tuition until they are back in class

They said that they couldn’t hold the spot but I know they’re nowhere close to capacity so no big deal

That's nice. I bet no chance St. George in Baton Rouge is going to cut some checks...I think they should though. Especially since their e-learning was a joke, in my opinion. It was basically a list of stuff to do everyday with links to various youtube and/or other internet sites. There was hardly any actual content created or virtually delivered by the teacher.

I think states will offer a general e-learning option. Game changer for private schools in a bad way.

That's pretty impressive. Where is that?

I don't see why all schools won't operate this way. It kinda maddening when you think private schools in Baton Rouge charge anywhere from $5k to $10k for pre-k and it seems a lot of them are treating pre-k like high school with e-learning.

yeah we were considering moving my daughter to a private all girls school this coming year but decided we're just going to do e-learning for this year then switch her over next year. No sense in paying tuition for her to be schooled at home

Wife is a teacher. Her parish is preparing everyone for e-learning come the Fall. Every teacher had to get certified by Google for their e-learning platform. About 30 hours of study and a 3 hour proctored exam. They estimate only a 10-20% chance schools open fully in the Fall.

I would not be paying private school tuition for elearning
Parkview Baptist School in Baton Rouge has a program called "Flex Tuition". From what I understand, it is a hybrid approach to on-site and remote learning. A buddy of mine is doing this with a couple of his HS kids and said it is working out great. For additional fees, they can still participate in athletics, clubs, etc.
They even have a St. Francisville option that cost less than the BTR flex option.
BTR Flex Tuition
SF Flex Tuition
The hybrid approach is pretty interesting an may be where some schools are heading.

You guys have explained it numerous times, but I still can't get my head around why LA communities don't demand better public schools. No way I am paying those absurd private school tuition(s)

Everyone wants better schools. Everyone thinks teachers should be paid more. Everyone thinks the roads suck. But when the time comes to pass the hat to collect money, everyone looks the other way.
We want nice things, and someone else to pay for it.

It all depends on the leader at each school. Some of the schools in the New Orleans Archdiocese are already telling everyone it's business as usual, while one school that I know of in the same archdiocese is waiting to be told what to do by the Archdiocese. If the principal is unable to make a decision soon it could spell disaster for that school.

There is just no such thing as a good public school. Some are better than others, but all of them are for teachers kids'.
