Overview

Mission

The PTO (Parent-Teacher Organization) at Beaubien Elementary School is more than just a group of volunteers - it's a partnership between parents, teachers, and community members. We work together to enhance the educational experience by raising funds for school improvements, providing student enrichment opportunities, and organizing engaging community-building events.

What it reported doing in 2024

Event Support: Refers to expenses associated with fundraising events organized by the school, such as the B-Show, Auction, Walk-A-Thon, and Read-A-Thon. These costs cover everything needed to run these events successfully, from supplies and decorations to prizes, marketing, and logistics.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and some filed totals do not add up.
