Overview
Mission
Support and training for teachers and school administrators
What it reported doing in 2025
Held a one-day state-wide event to provide teachers and school administrators with training on improving student achievement and increasing teacher quality. Approximately 150 attended the one-day event.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- 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
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.
