We are now operating in two counties and working with three separate authorizers; Twin Rivers Unified School District, San Juan Unified School District and Yolo County Office of Education. Each school has its own unique mission and vision but all of the schools serve traditionally underserved student populations. Each school has a free and reduced lunch population of 75 percent or higher with large numbers of English language learners. Two of the schools serve primarily ninth through twelfth grade students who are credit deficient and have other risk factors such as homelessness, teen pregnancy, probation, or foster youth.Six of our schools are accredited through the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and our newest charter Exploring Possibilities International Charter (EPIC) is in the process of accreditation. EPIC is an International Baccalaureate (IB) school and received candidate status in 2015 -16; our Gateway International School was successful in receiving IB certification a three year rigorous process. A number of our schools expanded classrooms, playgrounds and programs throughout the 2015-16 year enabling us to provide expanded academic excellence for our students. Gateway Community Charters serves as the management organization for the seven charters in order to allow the charter school principals and staff to focus on the needs of the students and community. GCC assists the schools with budget management, staff development, payroll, leadership development, personnel, and data management. GCC is honored to have been chosen one of Sacramentos Best Places to Work in 2015. With the assistance of GCC, each school has shown academic improvement over the last several years. The graduation and student retention rates have increased at the independent study high schools and staff retention has increased as well. At the site based schools, all academic indicators show positive growth. Students and families are extremely satisfied with the schools and overall enrollment has continued to increase annually. Although the California State budget has been challenging for schools over the last five to seven years, each of the schools budgets have remained balanced and schools have been able to provide students and families with an excellent education. 32448846 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 71 0 true 697 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X Aaron Thornsberry 9162865129 5726 Dudley Blvd McClellan CA 95652 Bruce Mangerich Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jack Turner Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mark Anderson Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lillie Campbell President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Harry Block Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cindy Petersen CEO 40.00 0.00 X 189538 0 2589 Aaron Thornsberry CBO 40.00 0.00 X 94862 0 9688 Michael Gillespie Assistant Superintendent 40.00 0.00 X 121243 0 7973 405643 20250 2 false true false 0 55361251 55361251 0 142014 142014 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other Revenue 900099 134435 134435 134435 55637700 134435 142014 X 0 0 0 0 429745 384622 45123 0 21151752 17541890 3609862 2120212 1881595 238617 2530011 2256022 273989 632119 495173 136946 0 64624 64624 0 0 0 0 5233157 2519472 2713685 81107 81107 0 532251 425844 106407 0 2737379 2175857 561522 250502 208530 41972 0 0 0 0 532312 532312 232789 232789 Books and Supplies 4672969 4319419 353550 Field Trips 119579 119579 Dues and Membership 72555 36635 35920 Operation and Housekeeping 47157 47157 30835 3101 27734 41471055 32448846 9022209 0 920597 751398 25713572 47613122 0 2236524 2798280 0 0 0 0 223423 1196526 12386814 1262281 9043687 11124533 5978902 5846958 0 0 0 0 44116705 69330817 1588409 3148635 13348 32091 7032139 16726633 213081 16032 8846977 19923391 X 35269728 49407426 35269728 49407426 44116705 69330817 14166645 -28947 X false true X true true true X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 6918897 6918897 1684395 1262281 422114 3783522 3783522 11124533 Due to other Governments 16032 16032 X 55608753 -28947 -28947 55637700 55637700 41471055 41471055 41471055 Part X : FIN48 Footnote GCC is a nonprofit public-benefit corporation and has been recognized as tax-exempt pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code.
