Burlington High School Guidance Department was well attended. Over 70 Parents
of students in Kindergarten through 8th grade were in present. Julie Shields-Rutyna from MEFA gave a very detailed

the College Navigator Webs-Site which gives tuition prices, % of students receiving
merit aid and % of students receiving need based aid. We encourage parents to

For Parents that missed the event it will be televised and
streamed on BCAT.
