In the 2018-2019 school year we served students in grades K-7. Through a commitment to broad-based education for all students ranging from the basics of reading and mathematics to fine arts and technology we teach the next generation of community leaders. We depend on the full commitment of our students, their parents, our teachers, and the administration. Through the partnership of these groups, our school provides a better future for our students, shaping them into individuals and leaders in our community. Academic Leadership Charter School offers a rigorous curriculum that satisfies all New York State Standards, including an extended day which provides our students with four periods of literacy daily. We believe that having a strong foundation in reading and writing, as well as a well-rounded vocabulary, is the key to academic success. We aim for 80% of our students to perform at Levels 3 and 4 on their New York State assessments. There are two teachers in every classroom, a Lead Teacher and a Teacher Associate. The presence of two certified teachers gives each student a more individualized education. One teacher may work with a small group of students on a certain skill, while the lead teacher focuses on a different topic with the rest of the class. In addition, other teachers "push in" to the classroom to provide further support. We have high expectations for everyone in the ALCS community. We expect our students and teachers to work hard in the classroom and we expect our families to work with their children on a daily basis, reading with them at home and helping them study for their assessments. Together, we strive to help our students become tomorrow's leaders. 4073582 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 10 0 true 64 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 5 false true false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false NY X X NORMA HURWITZ 7185854215 677 EAST 141ST STREET BRONX NY 10454 DR NORMA FIGUEROA-HURWITZ Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 265969 0 24862 LEENA VARGHESE ELMT.SCH.PRINCIPAL 40.00 0.00 163528 0 16979 Mark Keye Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 James Sander Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert Ansbro member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher Brignola Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LUCAS DOE Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER BRIGNOLA Vice-Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 429497 41841 2 false true false Peter Gisolfi Associates 566 Warburton Ave HastingsOnHudson NY 10706 construction 908397 United Health Care 275 7th Ave New York NY 10001 Health insurance 377714 Charles Schwab 211 Main Street14th Floor San Francisco CA 94105 401K 132474 3 691016 52507 691016 GOV'T PER-PUPIL REV. 611710 9563816 9563816 9563816 417572 417572 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OTHER INCOME 900099 0 10672404 9981388 0 0 0 0 301077 269361 31716 0 2672466 2390944 281522 0 646696 578573 68123 0 0 0 24000 24000 0 0 0 61435 61435 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 82237 73574 8663 75968 67965 8003 TEXTS AND MATERIALS 339081 339081 STUDENT AND STAFF RECRUITING 123055 110092 12963 SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS 92343 82616 9727 EQUIPMENT RENTAL AND LEASE 59373 53118 6255 120185 108258 11927 4597916 4073582 524334 0 107652 84771 23857309 27995391 439926 632390 0 0 0 0 0 0 6758276 911709 4094686 5846567 0 0 0 0 77183 78076 28576756 34637195 718783 706709 1975 720758 706709 X 27778815 33852410 77183 78076 27855998 33930486 28576756 34637195 6074488 X false true X true false X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3259800 3259800 852272 704797 147475 2646204 206912 2439292 5846567 X 10672404 10672404 10672404 4597916 4597916 4597916 Part X : FIN48 Footnote TAX STATUSThe School is tax-exempt under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and has been classified as a publicly supported organization as described in IRC sections 509(A)(1) and 170(B)(1)(A)(II).Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the School has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
