What it reported doing in 2024

Science Week: A tradition that has been ongoing for many years, Science Month is another opportunity to engage all students in multiple different workshops and assemblies all focused on the different areas in science. The PTO works closely with the faculty to incorporate hands-on experiments, engaging assemblies with the goal to get students excited about science. Some of the different programs we have had in the past include a visit from a traveling zoo, Mobile Steam Lab, and a local scientist who leads experiments within each class that are chosen by each grade level.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 95% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
