For the Center school budget:
- The overall budget is $171k which is down from $209k last year. We aim to bring in as much as we spend each year.
- The biggest change from last year is the cut to the Urban Fellows program ($45k) after losing the grant ($35k). We are pursuing the grant again to reinstate that partnership.
- We hope to raise a bit more money ($10k) from donations and matching donations next year to break even on income/expenses.
- The school programs bucket allows the PTA to supplement the direct fundraising the students do for these activities. It does not cover all the costs.
- The Computer Teacher is the largest single item. His work is integral for the smooth functioning of the school in our very digital world.
- We are fortunate to have a great partnership with a well-run school. Our funding assistance maintains the exceptional standard at the Center School.
Kindly, Sarah Courtemanche & Joshua Weinberger
