Overview
Mission
To bring the teachers and other school employees into relations of mutual assistance and cooperation. To secure for its members all of the rights to which they are entitled and to further the interests of the schools, students, and communities. To secure conditions essential for providing the best professional service and raising the standards of the teaching profession. To promote the cause of public education at the local, state and national level.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 86% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- Distribution model
- Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.
The verdict
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
