Overview
Mission
The Aldama Elementary PTA raises funds annually to pay for enrichment programming for students, as well as support teachers and staff at the school. In FY2025, our programming expenses covered: music education, a garden ranger, after-school STEM classes, a teacher-staff luncheon, outdoor classroom construction, library funding, an astronomy night, and campus beautification.
What it reported doing in 2024
Education Through Music - Los Angeles (ETM-LA) is a music education program which provides instruction to all Aldama Elementary students throughout the school year (approximately 350 children). Two concerts are performed each year for families and local community, one in the winter and one in the spring. An after-school ensemble class was also offered for grades 3-5 as part of this year's instruction. ETM-LA's goal is to incorporate music education into students' daily lives, with the ultimate purpose of getting the school to recognize the importance of music education and potentially hire a music teacher through their own budgeting process. https://etmla.org/
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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.
