The accounts
Where it came from, where it went.
Revenue
Expenses
The year closed with a surplus of $25,500, which went to the operating reserve. The reserve now stands at roughly four months of expenses; the board’s target is six, and we are not there yet.
Financial aid
Who it reached.
Aid is drawn from operations and from the endowment. Every award is confidential — guides are not told which children are aided, and neither are other families.

Compensation
The bands, printed.
Eighty-five percent of what we spend is people. A school that asks families for money and will not show them the salary bands is asking them to fund something they cannot see.
We are not yet where we want to be at the bottom of the assistant range. That is the board’s stated first priority for any growth in the Annual Fund.
