Overview
Mission
Labor Union
What it reported doing in 2012
CDBDA represents its 80 members in collective bargaining with the Central Dauphin School District. The organization also promots any service necessary for the safety of students transported.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
