09 - Delinquent Tuition Payments

FVL understands that unexpected changes happen in families. When these events happen, it is critical to be in contact with school personnel. Families are responsible to keep the Business Office informed of any needed changes to their tuition payment plan, including adjustments in the tuition amount to be paid. Our staff will be happy to meet and discuss how we can work together to keep payments current. When payments are missed and no communication is made with the Business Office, a number of policies go into effect depending on the payment plan chosen. Please refer to our website at fvlhs.org/late-tuition-policies.

Tuition payments must be current to receive internet access to grades and other information. All tuition and fees must be paid to receive yearbooks, final report cards, transcripts, diplomas, and the release of any school records. When families experience a change in employment or income that affects payment plan, they are encouraged to contact the Business Office to make needed changes.

Tuition balances must be paid in full by May 20. For families of seniors, tuition that is not current by May 20 may mean that student will not be allowed to participate in the graduation service. Any tuition balance outstanding on May 20 will be assessed a 3% service fee. FVL reserves the right to collect outstanding and/or past-due tuition by other legal means as deemed necessary by the FVL President in consultation with the FVL Finance Committee and the FVL Board of Regents. A serious and charitable effort will be made by the Business Office to collect tuition before any legal process is pursued.

Families who fail to meet their tuition payment contract and who are unwilling to make suitable alternative arrangements will be informed that their child(ren) may not be readmitted. Families must be current in their tuition by August 15 to be admitted for the new school year. For families of seniors, tuition not current by May 20 may mean that student will not be allowed to participate in the graduation service. Students will be permitted to complete academic course requirements and take final exams. Report cards and permanent records will not be released until tuition is paid in full. Payments can be made directly to FVL or via FACTS, PayK12, or credit cards. If payment is not possible, suitable arrangements must be made with the Business Office. Any tuition outstanding on May 20 will be assessed a 3% service fee.

Each tuition account will be treated individually, subject to its own tuition assistance award and its own payment plan. With multiple tuition accounts, an equal number of SCRIP accounts will be established, with SCRIP proceeds adjusted accordingly. In the event that one parent is not meeting their tuition payment, FVL will treat the situation according to the delinquent payment policies listed below.

FVL believes a family’s tuition payment is an investment in Christian education. The school is owned and operated by a Federation of churches in fellowship with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) that assumes a portion of the operating cost of the school. Annual tuition and fees are set in February at the FVL General Board meeting. Students from the community whose families are not members of Federation congregations are charged the approximate cost per student. A discount is offered to same-family siblings who attend concurrently.

Tuition rates for students whose families are members at FVL Federation churches are charged a lower rate because these churches contribute significant funds to support FVL’s ministry. The oldest enrolled student from a Federation family receives a credit to reflect the church’s financial support. Concurrently enrolled students from the same family receive an additional credit.

Students who legally reside in a public school district not adjacent to the Appleton School District (ASD) receive a transportation stipend from the adjacent district. Students who live outside a district adjacent to ASD, receive a credit toward transportation costs that is determined annually by the General Board. Federation students from Neenah, New London, Green Bay, and their surrounding districts do not receive this credit because FVL provides busing, and the cost is part of their tuition.

DELINQUENT PAYMENTS

It shall be the responsibility of each school family to keep the FVL Business Office informed of their need to make any changes in their preferred tuition payment plan or adjustments in the amount of tuition expected to be paid. Without such information, the following policies will apply when tuition payments are received late.

By May 20: If not, seniors may not be allowed to graduate on stage. Students will be permitted to complete academic course requirements and take final exams. Report Cards and permanent records will not be released.

I. Full Payment:

Any full payments for tuition made after July 31 will not receive the 3% discount of the net billable tuition. For those families not able to pay in full, the family will be expected to make all tuition payments through the FACTS or PayK12.

II. Monthly Payments:

School families who choose the ten (10) or twelve (12) month payment plan and miss a monthly payment due to insufficient funds will be assessed a missed payment fee by FACTS or PayK12 and may incur a fee from their own financial institution. The missed payment will be reattempted by FACTS or PayK12 two additional times before it is turned over to FVL for collection. A missed payment fee is charged by FACTS or PayK12 for each attempt.

In addition, school families who have missed two monthly payments will receive a certified letter of communication. If they have not made suitable arrangements within fourteen (14) calendar days of the second missed payment will be informed that their child(ren) will not be allowed to participate in any co-curricular activities. Students will be permitted to complete academic course requirements, take mid-term exams and final exams. Progress reports and report cards (Quarter, Semester, and End-of-Year) and permanent records will not be released. These consequences will be in effect until the family’s account is current or a suitable arrangement has been made with the FVL Business Office. After 3 months of delinquency and no communication with the FVL Business Office and approval by the Board of Regents, the parent/guardian may be asked to withdraw their child(ren) from FVL.

III. Quarterly or Semi-Annual Payments:

School families who choose a quarterly or semi-annual payment plan and miss an automatic payment due to insufficient funds will be assessed a missed payment fee by PayK12 and may incur a fee from their own financial institution. A missed payment fee is charged by FACTS or PayK12 for each attempt.

If they have not made suitable arrangements within fourteen (14) calendar days of the missed payment will be informed that their child(ren) will not be allowed to participate in co-curricular activities. Students will be permitted to complete academic course requirements, take mid-term exams and final exams. Progress reports and report cards (Quarter, Semester, and End-of-Year) and permanent records will not be released.

Families can choose to pay part or all of their tuition with a credit card via PayK12. A convenience fee of 2.75%, plus $0.30 per transaction, of the total charged will be assessed with each credit card transaction. School families who choose to pay with a Credit Card via PayK12 and miss a monthly payment due to insufficient funds will be assessed a missed payment fee by PayK12 and may incur a fee from their own financial institution. The missed payment will be reattempted by PayK12 two additional times before it is turned over to FVL for collection. A missed payment fee by PayK12 is charged for each attempt.
