Well, having been at the school several times, I can tell you they did not spend the dollars on facilities to have a Grade 9-12 enrollment of 80 or 90 kids. When I went to a school assembly to give an award, there were more kids on the stage than in the entire Lifegate student body (which is around 140-150; and the Geneva group was only a couple of the elementary grades) So, I'm sure that Scott and the Geneva administration aren't going to take any offense.
Several years ago, I spoke with one of Scott's predecessors about building their football program. Guess what school he came from? Austin Regents. Plus, if they were thinking of sticking with six man football, I need to tell them they put both of those goal posts 10 yards too far away on each side.
Boerne and the NW/NC San Antonio area is a growth area (just north of Six Flags). There are housing developments where I'd have a hard time making a down payment on a garage or a utility shed. Lots of corporate execs, physicians and other well-off folks. And lawyers like Scott, my good friend. It's basically as close to San Antonio as you can get and live in the Hill Country.
My guess (and it's just that) is that Geneva may pay fairly well for private schools ... certainly not public school dollars, but you won't be working weekends at the car wash on the side to cover the rent check (maybe for the car payment if you want a really spiffy sports car, but we won't go down that street).
