Overview

Mission

We are an employee organization formed for the purpose of negotiation.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our faculty association has been organized for the purpose of protecting and enhancing the professional interests of the seventeen teachers on our staff. Our funds, which are generated solely from membership dues, are used primarily for compensating the association's officers for the time they spend preparing presentations to the school board and administration in regards to negotiations and, at times, grievance issues. They are awarded a set stipend each year which is voted upon by association members. Funds are also used to send members to trainings and workshops.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
No current program activity. The filing reports no program spending for the current year.

The verdict

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