MissionThe mission of Tapestry Public Charter School is to offer an inclusive, individualized learning environment that is academically engaging, both for neurotypical students and those on the autism spectrum, and to create a positive school culture that empowers all students to take possession of their innate talents and become creative builders of their own future.MissionDesc

DescSCHOOL INSTRUCTION: Tapestry Public Charter School is founded on a constructivist approach to pedagogy, which posits that learning happens as students actively engage in a process of meaning and knowledge construction, rather than passively receiving information. Our constructivist approach is research based and fosters critical thinking by our motivated and independent students. We are an unusual constructivist school because many of our students are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Students with ASD and related challenges may be unable to process information received through their senses. Critical to our students' success is a modified school environment that accommodates sensory sensitivities (lighting, sound proofing, reduction of other stimuli). Our program expenses for Instruction (Function 100) included staff salaries ($573,570), staff benefits ($115,088), purchased professional services ($53,914), supplies & energy ($133,770), and classroom facilities ($136,631). Our expenses on Instruction were 95% of our Quality Basic Education allotment and 67% of our combined Georgia QBE and Federal Implementation Grant.Desc

DescFACILITIES & ENTERPRISES: Tapestry Public Charter School began the school year in a shared educational building leased from the Northeast Baptist Church, 4046 Chamblee-Tucker Rd., Atlanta, 30340. While this campus provided everything we needed this year, leasing was never intended as a permanent option for our students. During the year, our donors embraced the Inclusion mission of Tapestry so much that they provided us with ownership of a former county elementary school at 3130 Raymond Drive, Atlanta, 30340. We are thrilled with this new campus for FY16 and beyond. This facility provides for our future expansion as we grow one grade per year until the school has its first graduating seniors in 2019. At our facilities, we operate two enterprise-like functions: a lunch-time Student Nutrition Program that includes free and reduced-price lunches, and an After-School Program. Our program expenses for Maintenance & Operations (Function 260), Student Nutrition (Fn 310), and After School (Fn 320) included staff salaries ($49,679), staff benefits ($8,393), purchased property services ($75,029), other purchased services ($23,165), and supplies & energy ($10,650). Our expenses on these three functions were 16% of our Quality Basic Education allotment and 12% of our combined Georgia QBE and Federal Implementation Grant.Desc

DescINSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT SERVICES: Tapestry Public Charter School has won a major grant that encourages us, in the grantor's words, "to solve a critically important and very challenging systemic problem." Our initial Principal (Dr. Amanda L. Chilvers) established the school procedures that make Tapestry a national leader in Inclusion for typical, autistic, and other IEP students. At the end of the school year, we hired a permanent Principal (Ms. Barbara Boone) who has the school experience to lead Tapestry towards sustained academic achievement as well as the managerial experience to produce an enviable school culture. Our program expenses for Pupil Services (Function 210), Improvement of Instructional Services (Fn 221), Media Services (Fn 222), General Administration (Fn 230), School Administration (Fn 240), Business Office (Fn 250), and Central Services (Fn 280) included salaries ($176,092), employee benefits ($13,401), purchased professional services ($18,150), and other purchased services ($18,480). Our expenses for these seven functions were 31% of our Quality Basic Education allotment and 22% of our combined Georgia QBE and Federal Implementation Grant.Desc

Schedule E, Part I, Line 6Tapestry Public Charter School competes for local, state, and federal funding. As an authorized Georgia public charter school, TPCS received monthly FY15 allotments totaling $1,043,779 from the DeKalb County School District and the Georgia Department of Education. TCPS completed the final year of its two-year, $475,000, federal Implementation Grant. The Implementation Grant required TCPS to submit invoices for qualified reimbursable expenses. Such expenses were mainly for professional services (Object codes 3xx), equipment expendables (Object codes 6xx), and equipment purchases (Object codes 7xx). During FY15, TPCS qualified for $446,953 in federally reimbursable Implementation Grant expenses. All of the unpaid federally reimbursable Implementation Grant expenses were carried on our books as Account Receivables as of June 30, 2015, and these expenses were reimbursed by August 31, 2015, closing out our two-year Implementation Grant.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11bTapestry Public Charter School presented its Board with a watermarked TY2014 (FY15) Form 990 as part of a monthly read-ahead package. Board members had two weeks to comment on the watermarked Form 990. The Finance Committee provided each Board member with an Excel analysis showing how all entries on the audited financial statements flowed to the lines and boxes on the Form 990. The Board Chair approved the Board's revisions and the final version of the Form 990. TCPS submitted the approved Form 990 electronically to the IRS and on paper to the Georgia Department of Revenue.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cTapestry Public Charter School requires that each Board member sign and reaffirm a Conflict of Interest statement each year. In addition, all Board members attend governance training that is provided by the Georgia Charter Schools Association and required by the Georgia Department of Education.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15Tapestry Public Charter School has only one highly paid executive, our Principal. During FY15, our founding Principal resigned. Consequently, the Board's standing Nominating Committee began a nation-wide search for a replacement. Early in the process, the Committee received extremely strong recommendations for one of the candidates: an experienced Principal about to retire from the California school system. The Committee selected this outstanding educator as its first choice among several highly qualified candidates. The Nominating and Finance Committees worked together on a pay package that would be fair to both TPCS and the first-choice Principal. These Committees evaluated California pay scales, California retirement pay, moving costs, various Georgia-school-pay scales, the Georgia Teacher Retirement System, benefits, bonuses, future raises, restricted grants from donors, and the timing of all the relevant revenues and expenses. The Board and Principal Barbara Boone reached a satisfactory agreement of her duties, goals, metrics, and compensation. The Nominating Committee retained its extensive analyses, committee minutes, communications with candidates including the successful candidate, and signed agreements.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19Tapestry Public Charter School seeks to be a transparent organization. We have earned the Gold Seal on GuideStar, where we share our Form 990, audit report, and other governance information. During FY15, the Finance Committee collaborated on the OneDrive for Business cloud. The Board shares all of its grant data, policy manuals, checkbook registers, minutes, and governance documents on the Google+ cloud. While the general public does not access to our OneDrive or Google+, the Board does provide copies of any requested information. Our public website, tapestrycharter.org, provides access to our charter petition, state contract, student-enrollment application, and Board-member application.
Form 990, Part XI, Line 9In April 2015, Tapestry Public Charter School purchased an existing school building for $3,207,000. We financed the building for up to $3,734,000 to accommodate any repair costs. The note holder made a conditional grant to the School, with the condition to expire in 2019. As of June 30, 2015, the current value of the School's temporarily restricted assets is $521,841.
Form 990, Part XII, Line 1Tapestry Public Charter School used the cash method during its planning years. In FY15, Tapestry PCS opened for its first year of operating as a school. Tapestry PCS now records its books with the accrual method in accordance with the requirements of the Georgia Department of Education.
