Overview
Mission
The Bowen Elementary School Parent-Teacher Organization (Bowen PTO) is a volunteer, parent-run, non-profit organization committed to enhancing the education of our children directly and by supporting the teachers and principal to provide an optimal educational experience for all students. Our mission is to bridge the gap between school and home, between city funds and individual needs. We seek to keep parents connected and informed, give families a collective voice with the principal and school, and foster a vibrant and engaging community at The Bowen Elementary School.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
