Overview

Mission

Promote common public education advocacy interests of public school districts using State and regional public education data, school district information, legislative information, advocacy updates and lobbying efforts.

What it reported doing in 2024

Keep member school districts apprised of pending and proposed legislation related to public education through electronic reports (about 4 per year), email notifications, meetings (monthly regional superintendent meetings and periodic school board group meetings) and other appropriate forums.

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.
