Overview
Mission
The parent teacher organization (pto) provides support to the high school for performing and visual arts, a houston independent school district high school, as well as its faculty and students.
What it reported doing in 2024
The pto provides enrichment to students through donations from parents and the community through the fall fundraiser and through profits from the school store sales. The donations are used to provide support to all academic departments, to all general school needs, and to teacher appreciation through luncheons for teachers.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 96% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
