Webinar: Cost Effectiveness By Division
Event Details
Tools to determine operating costs by division
The Cost Effectiveness by Division template, prepared in conjunction with NAIS, uses several assumptions to allocate the revenue and expenses of a school between divisions. With this information, the school understands the operating loss (or surplus) of each division, the loss (or surplus) per student, and the tuition gap (if any) that needs to be covered through donations or investment earnings. Additionally, a supplemental spreadsheet calculates the costs per Lower School class section, and thus the breakeven number of students needed to cover the direct operating costs of each class section.
