Overview
Mission
The clark county education association (ccea) is a union of educators committed to elevating the education profession ensuring safe and just working conditions, and economic security for educators, through collective advocacy for the advancement of free, universal, quality public education.
What it reported doing in 2024
Ccea's primary exempt purpose is to defend the collective bargaining agreement (contract) on behalf of the licensed employees of the clark county school district (ccsd). The organization represents its members and defends its members' contractual employment rights.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 96% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
