Overview

Mission

The PTSA supports the enhancement of the learning experience of the student body of the Denali Montessori School. They accomplish this through recognition programs for the students and staff, the operation of a before and after school program, sponsoring national competitions within the school such as the Spelling Bee and GEOGRAPHY BEE, and providing equipment for the upgrade of digital environment of the school. Other activities are supported based ON THE decisionS of the PTA.

What it reported doing in 2016

This program is the before and after school program, community school, operated and funded by the pta. The largest expense for this school is the cost of contract labor. Enrollment counts vary from semester to semester, and even month to month, based on the needs of the school population, and the programs provided by the community school. Students are able to choose from a variety of interests to involve themselves, ranging from foreign languages, art, sports activities, and homework assistance. The activities are constantly changing to keep the students interested and involved. The programs are also open to students that may have an interest in the subject offered, although they have no need for the before/after care supervision.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 66% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 66% for direct work, and 34% for grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
