TOGETHER THEY IDENTIFY THE STUDENT'S LONG-TERM EDUCATIONAL GOALS. THESE LONG-TERM GOALS ARE DOCUMENTED IN THE EDUCATIONAL DOCUMENTATION SYSTEM (EDS), AND THE STUDENT'S PERSONALIZED STRATEGIES FOR LEARNING ARE ESTABLISHED. ALL STUDENTS ARE ASSESSED AS THEY ENTER INNOVATE TO DETERMINE WHAT KNOWLEDGE THEY HAVE GAINED PREVIOUSLY. WE THEN PERSONALIZE THEIR LEARNING PLAN ACCORDING TO WHERE THEY ARE AND WHERE THEY NEED TO GO. ALL SUBJECTS AT INNOVATE ARE ORGANIZED AS STEP COURSES OR THEMATIC COURSES. EVERY STUDENT AT INNOVATE MEETS WITH THEIR COACH FOR A 15-MINUTE STRUCTURED COACHING SESSION EACH AND EVERY WEEK. THE COACH AND STUDENT COLLABORATE TO DEFINE THE STUDENT'S GOALS, FIND THE RIGHT LEARNING STRATEGIES AND MIX OF ACADEMIC SESSIONS TO MEET THEM, AND REFLECT ON HER OR HIS CHALLENGES AND ACHIEVEMENTS. 2812233 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 1 36 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X CARL ALOI 2124324310 38 DELANCEY STREET 3RD FLOOR NEW YORK NY 10002 SIMEON STOLZBERG 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MILES MERWIN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CLAUDIA HINDO 1.00 X X 0 0 0 HASHIM BELLO 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHEREEN BEYDOUN 1.00 X 0 0 0 CARL ALOI 1.00 X X 0 0 0 NATASHA LIFTON 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELLEN BAKST 1.00 X 0 0 0 GAYLA THOMPSON 45.00 X 85025 0 8228 85025 0 8228 0 0 0 0 KUNSKAPSSKOLAN 349 5TH AVE NEW YORK NY 10016 RENT 193750 CHARTER SCHOOL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT INC 237 WEST 35TH STREET SUITE 301 NEW YORK NY 10001 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES 130209 2 543183 4511 72173 547694 STATE AND LOCAL PER PU 611600 2716351 2716351 2716351 142 142 5293 -5293 -5293 -5293 3258894 2711058 0 142 127294 108200 19094 1420656 1284774 135882 22528 21619 909 197343 178104 19239 122520 110306 12214 9405 9405 130758 130758 18310 13048 5262 15392 14911 481 50913 32283 18630 65689 59141 6548 651149 567356 83793 80607 80607 315615 284152 31463 22961 20672 2289 CLASSROOM SUPPLIES 75470 75470 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMEN 36456 35990 466 STUDENT SERVICES 6207 6207 MISCELLANEOUS 361 361 3369634 2812233 557401 0 201841 24579 25010 50056 303578 13167 182661 21014 2721010 376414 1720628 2344596 0 157535 2433718 2610947 62420 39388 88160 3163 1440301 1601043 46235 16892 192094 456693 1829210 2117179 X 604508 493768 604508 493768 2433718 2610947 -110740 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2002287 182735 1819552 427584 124713 302871 291139 68966 222173 2344596 SECURITY DEPOSIT 157535 157535 ACCRUED EXPENSES 64924 ACCRUED PAYROLL 171525 OTHER ACCRUED LIABILITIES 131178 DEFERRED LEASE LIABILITY 89066 456693 X 3504345 240158 5293 245451 3258894 0 3258894 3615085 240158 5293 245451 3369634 0 3369634 DESCRIPTION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48: PART X, LINE 2: THE CHARTER SCHOOL IS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND APPLICABLE STATE REGULATIONS AND, ACCORDINGLY, IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL AND STATE TAXES ON INCOME.
