Our other core programs include Library Live!

Percentage gains were greater the longer students had participated in the program. For example, Thriving Minds students who had been enrolled for six terms (individual semesters or summer programs) had passing rates that were 19% higher in math and 11% higher in reading than their same school peers. 7288896 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true false false false false false false true false false false false true

Therefore, no tax provision or liability has been reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Organization had no significant uncertain tax positions for the year ended June 30, 2015.GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Organizations tax returns and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization, and has concluded that as of June 30, 2015, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements.
