Overview

Mission

Canyons education association exists to enhance the teaching profession and to help meet the professional needs of the association members.

What it reported doing in 2023

Cea helps give educators a voice through negotiations. Negotiating provides our members fair wages ad benefits, and it improves teacher recruitment and retention. We also negotiate for better teaching and learning conditions.

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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
