Write an informal proposal for the stated problems.
San Jose College (SJC) is under company rehabilitation which means that the school is in the brink of bankruptcy. During the rehabilitation, SJC in under the supervision of a judicial court through the three-member management committee. Take the role of the management committee of the school in this scenario. Currently the only source of income for the operations of the school is the fees of the students. Despite the disheartening plight of the school, the teacher demanded at least a 12% increase in salary. They said any amount less than that will be unacceptable and will drive them to resign en masse. The action of the teacher seemed understandable because they have not received any salary increase for the last three years. You decided to increase the tuition fee of the students but the parents and student leaders vehemently objected to the increase. They threatened that if the tuition fee will be increased, the parents will pull out their children from the school. You have set a meeting with both parties but it failed. How would you solve the problem?
* The school has 25 teachers with an average salary of 20,000 pesos. 10 teach at the elementary and high school levels and the other 15 teach at the tertiary level.
* The school has around 200 students; 100 enrolled in basic education and another 100 at the tertiary level.
* Tuition and other fees of each student total 30,000 pesos per year for basic education and 22,000 pesos per semester for tertiary level.
* Computers are obsolete, and the school has three janitors.
* Each classroom can accommodate 30 students
*As provided in the manual for private schools, the breakdown of school budget for its operation is listed as follows: 70% for teachers salary, 20% for operating expenses (15% for non-teaching personnel's salary and 5% for bills); and 10% for profit. However since the school is on the brink of bankruptcy, it doesn't get any profit at all. Thus, all expenses are allocated for the teacher's salary and operating expenses with a ratio of 75:25, respectively. Further, you can only save roughly 5% from the bills and equipment expenditures.
Now, your aim as part of the management committee is to address the concerns in both students and teachers. You also need to make at least 10% profit from the solution that you will formulate in order for the school to survive in the next five years.
