Overview
Mission
To improve schools by inspiring and developing courageous leadership among principals and other educators, based on academic insight, reflective practice and collegial networking, thereby advancing student achievement and stimulating public support.
What it reported doing in 2024
Slc provides school consulting and training workshops on various educational leadership topics. Some workshops are individualized for a specific school and other workshops provide professional development for any school in the greater new orleans area.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 94% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
