THE SCHOOL ENROLLS STUDENTS AGED 5-12 YEARS OLD (KINDERGARTEN THROUGH GRADE 6) WHO WISH TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MONTESSORI APPROACH. THE SCHOOL PROVIDES AN OPTION FOR FAMILIES WHO SEEK A BRAIN-BASED, CHILD-CENTERED, DIFFERENTIATED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.THE SCHOOL USES THE RESPONSIVE CLASSROOM APPROACH TO DEVELOP A CONSISTENT AND COHERENT POSITIVE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT ACROSS THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY. THIS RESEARCH-BASED APPROACH HAS BEEN SHOWN TO POSITIVELY IMPACT STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, IMPROVE TEACHER-STUDENT INTERACTIONS, AND INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF TIME CHILDREN ARE ENGAGED IN THE CLASSROOM. THE RESPONSIVE CLASSROOM APPROACH PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK FOR THE SOCIAL CLIMATE OF THE MONTESSORI CLASSROOM AND SCHOOL.A DISTINCTIVE FEATURE OF A MONTESSORI SCHOOL IS THE CELEBRATION OF CULTURAL AND GLOBAL AWARENESS. THE IMMEDIATE AND EXTENDED FAMILIES OF MONTESSORI STUDENTS ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE SCHOOL CULTURE. THEIR EXPERTISE ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL CULTURE AND UNIQUE EXPERIENCES PROVIDE BREADTH AND DEPTH TO THE CURRICULUM RESULTING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF EMPATHY AND MULTICULTURAL APPRECIATION. 6302258 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 80 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X X THE ORGANIZATION 3024045367 24960 DAIRY LANE SEAFORD DE 19973 JESSICA CRAMPTON-BRADLEY BOARD MEMBER 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAUREN CONNELLY BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICIA HERMANCE VICE CHAIR 4.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 PENNY SHORT BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 SEAN STEWARD BOARD MEMBER 2.00 1.00 X 0 0 0 LINDA ZANKOWSKY BOARD CHAIR 15.00 5.00 X X 0 0 0 MASON FALLIGANT BOARD MEMBER AND TEACHER 42.00 X 55302 0 22231 BOB WHEATLEY BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 LISA COLDIRON HEAD OF SCHOOL 40.00 X 117696 0 36906 PRECIOUS BENSON DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND OPERATIONS 40.00 X 73805 0 33063 246803 0 92200 1 0 1 0 K&J BUS TRANSPORTATION 30 S CLAYTON STREET WILMINGTON DE 19805 BUS TRANSPORTATION SERVICES 418646 BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB 669 S UNION STREET WILMINGTON DE 19805 FOOD SERVICE 191367 2 498977 6555750 151371 7206098 FOOD SERVICE STUDENT F 611710 24089 24089 OTHER SERVICE FEES 611710 3808 3808 27897 58299 58299 7292294 27897 0 58299 X 261470 130735 104588 26147 2616835 2355152 261683 1399578 1259620 139958 381543 343389 38154 211010 189909 21101 32564 32564 20547 20547 22377 22377 942145 915407 26738 9119 9119 149423 149423 62590 55079 6259 1252 304441 267908 30444 6089 40 34 6 9076 8168 908 190175 171158 15213 3804 345993 311394 34599 54030 51329 2701 FOOD SERVICES 209603 209603 INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS 17071 17071 OTHER SCHOOL AND STUDEN 16302 16302 7255932 6302258 894005 59669 229910 359617 1934979 1847411 170723 501467 240 240 13203202 1048056 11629284 12155146 6291733 6257434 20256869 21121315 715161 772066 7650000 7532640 7536947 8425486 15902108 16730192 X 0 0 3828086 4491935 526675 -100812 4354761 4391123 20256869 21121315 36362 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 417000 417000 11351079 825288 10525791 892386 222768 669618 542737 542737 12155146 PENSION RELATED DEFERRED OUTFLOWS 1246411 OPEB RELATED DEFERRED OUTFLOWS 5006023 SECURITY DEPOSIT 5000 6257434 ACCRUED COMPENSATED ABSENCES 76856 NET PENSION LIABILITY 1077558 NET OPEB LIABILITY 5472493 OPEB RELATED DEFERRED INFLOWS 1798579 8425486 X 7292294 0 7292294 0 7292294 7255932 0 7255932 0 7255932 PART X, LINE 2: THE SCHOOL FOLLOWS THE GUIDANCE IN THE INCOME TAX STANDARD REGARDING THE RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS SET FORTH BY THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD.
