IS BASED ON THE FUNDAMENTAL BELIEF THAT EVERY CHILD HAS A BIRTHRIGHT TO A FIRST-CLASS EDUCATION. YLA STUDENTS ARE GIVEN THE TOOLS AND KNOWLEDGE THEY NEED TO SUCCEED IN OUR INCREASINGLY GLOBAL CULTURE THANKS TO A DEDICATED GROUP OF TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, AND SUPPORT STAFF. YLA PROVIDES AN ENVIRONMENT THAT PROMOTES CREATIVE COLLABORATION OF THE ENTIRE SCHOOL ORGANIZATION WITH a FOCUS ON THE NEEDS OF THE STUDENTS, PARENTS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. 0 0 4421724 4875737 See Schedule OThe philosophy of The Young Leaders Academy (YLA), a charter school operated by the YMCA Youth Leadership Academy, Inc., is a focus on character development while setting the expectation that college is in the future of each student we serve. YLA is one of the higher performing elementary schools in the city of Milwaukee. Staff is diverse and focused on the academic achievement of the students, along with a high level of parental support and involvement of parents. Every part of the school day reinforces the values and expectations of both students and YLA educators. YLA strives to combine the beneficial rigors of a classical education with the latest in technology and the best teaching and learning practices. As a result, YLA has implemented the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) exam and the on-line tutoring software, Compass Learning. The implementation of MAP and Compass Learning allows YLA to continue in providing students with a high quality academic learning experience as they prepare for high school, college and beyond.The unique culture of YLA helps students reach their fullest potential. It is the goal of YLA to help students become college graduates. Each student-from the moment they enter kindergarten-sees the real possibility of a college education. Students place a significant focus on developing leadership skills, maintaining academic excellence and setting goals towards attending college through a college-bound curriculum. Student enrollment has fluctuated over the eight years of existence with an average annual enrollment of more than 550 students in grades K4-8. YLA has experienced a dramatic increase in the number of students living in poverty. The number of students who are eligible for free or reduced lunch has increased 25% during the past eight years, with 87% eligible for the federally sponsored subsidized meal program. Demographically, 52% of the students are male; 48% are female. 97% are African American.The unique school culture develops life-long learners prepared to contribute purposefully to society by: fostering their development as independent thinkers; learning to solve problems both individually and collaboratively using teamwork and critical thinking skills; facilitating each student's learning style; involving parents in their children's education; and offering support systems to facilitate learning.YLA is especially proud of the school's academic achievement given the dramatic increase in the number of students living in poverty. The longer a student attends YLA, the better they perform over time. 8th grade graduates of the 2009-2010 school year tested at 82.5% proficient or advanced in reading and at 60.0% in math. These results compare favorably to the Milwaukee Public Schools 8th grade African American testing level of proficient or advanced of 56.4% in reading and 41.1% in math. Testing results for YLA students in all grades also compares favorably to Milwaukee Public School results. 71.4% of all grade YLA students tested proficient or advanced in reading and 64.8% in math. The all student proficient or advanced results for MPS were 58.9% for reading and 50.8% for math. The YMCA Young Leaders Academy charter school is achieving success in raising the educational level of its students. The Academy has consistently met or exceeded all state of Wisconsin Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) indicators under the No Child Left Behind Act.With a student body that has become increasingly poorer over the years, the YMCA Young Leaders Academy has been able to provide students with a first class education as evidenced by continued improvement in standardized test scores. The Academy is proud of the students' accomplishments, while staff work continuously to think of new ways to improve student learning. The college bound curriculum model will help prepare our students for high school and ultimately college. 4421724 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 23 0 78 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11 7 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 WI X X Linda Daley 4142249622 161 W Wisconsin Avenue Suite 4000 Milwaukee WI 53203 Robert Heger 40.00 X X 0 140744 18873 Ann Rieger 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Jonathan Maxwell 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Debra Klepp 1.00 X X 20367 0 0 Sister Austin Doherty 1.00 X 0 0 0 Renee Herzing 1.00 X 0 0 0 Al Kaczmarek 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jon Lange 1.00 X 0 118945 24797 Antoinette Mensah 1.00 X 0 66400 18743 Mary Tucker 1.00 X 0 0 0 Devon Turner 1.00 X 0 0 0 20367 326089 62413 0 0 1 0 Milwaukee Center for Independence 2020 W Wells Street Milwaukee WI 53233 Food Service 270428 Riteway Bus PO Box 308 Richfield WI 53076 Bus Service 101662 2 8030 4773238 255730 5036998 0 8030 1558 -1558 -1558 Other 611710 87809 87809 Student Uniforms 611710 7726 7726 Student Food Service 611710 6964 6964 102499 5137939 102499 0 -1558 370 370 131011 121195 9816 1660165 1659421 744 107551 106684 867 185819 185558 261 247295 246437 858 5152 5152 14000 14000 510936 510936 53236 53236 448543 448543 59058 59058 660771 660771 49473 49473 2760 2760 3757 3757 41214 41214 Management Services 501645 434464 67181 Equipment rental and ma 111739 111739 Field trips and camps 88213 88213 Miscellaneous 53210 53207 3 4935918 4421724 434464 79730 30541 73918 176500 364738 427609 506173 634650 944829 518463 458822 518463 458822 X 80965 475766 35222 10241 116187 486007 634650 944829 X 0 1 1 X 1 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 Unconditional Promises to Give 741 Accounts Receivable - YMCA 505432 506173 5137939 4935918 202021 167799 167799 369820 5137939 0 5137939 0 5137939 4935918 0 4935918 0 4935918 Part XI, Line 7 - Prior Period Adjustments: Overstatement of Accrued Payroll and Benefits: 167,799 Part X: The Academy adopted ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on July 1, 2009. ASC 740-10 requires an organization to determine whether it's more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination on the technical merits of the position, assuming the taxing authority has full knowledge of all information. If the tax position does not meet the more likely than not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial statements. The Academy recorded no assets or liabilities related to uncertain tax positions as a result of the adoption of ASC 740-10. Tax returns for the years ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007 remain subject to examination by the applicable taxing authorities. 1 1 1 YLA is a Public School chartered under the authority of the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee (UWM).
