As an institution, we are making every effort to adapt and maintain the ability to provide a safe, quality education for our students. There will be no tuition increase for the next school year and no increase in busing rates. This will be our third year without a tuition increase. The last increase was 2% in 2017-2018. Our ability to go a third year without an increase highlights the wise long-term financial planning of Brent\u2019s Board. Brent is in a sound financial position, and by deferring some expenses, we will be able to weather this storm. We recognize many businesses and individuals are experiencing financial distress, and we hope deferring any rate increases will help our families manage these difficult days. Going forward we will continue to look for ways to support our families where we can.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-a8a719c1411a3abac fusion-toggle-has-divider\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_a8a719c1411a3abac\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"a8a719c1411a3abac\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-4168-1\" data-target=\"#a8a719c1411a3abac\" href=\"#a8a719c1411a3abac\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Are the 2019-2020 Yearbooks available?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"a8a719c1411a3abac\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_a8a719c1411a3abac\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">The 2019-2020 Yearbooks are now with the printer.
