In addition to programs that develop students' creativity, cultural sensitivity, and critical thinking skills, LeAp offers standards-based literacy, social studies, math, and science programs designed to increase students' standardized test scores. LeAp tailors every program to the specific needs of schools and individual classrooms, and our extensive available programming includes one-day assemblies, in-school and afterschool residencies of varying lengths, professional development and curricular materials for teachers, and parental involvement workshops. LeAp brought our specially trained teaching artists-including animators, poets, musicians, video artists, photographers, sculptors, muralists, dancers, and more-to public school students to enhance their art skills and creativity while implementing the academic curriculum.In 2009-2010, LeAp provided approximately 1,200 New York City public school classes with residencies ranging from one-session workshop-style programs to residencies of 40 sessions or more, with most programs falling in the 10-40 sessions range. In addition, LeAp teaching artists delivered 155 afterschool and out-of-school-time programs, 54 assemblies, 214 parent workshops-at schools and in shelters and other community facilities-139 professional development workshops, and 8 programs for students attending hospital schools. We worked with about 55,000 students, 5,800 teachers, and 5,300 parents. LeAp worked predominantly with underserved, minority students: approximately 42% of the students we served were Hispanic, 38% were African American, 11% were Asian, 8% were White, and 1% belonged to other ethnic groups. Of these students, about 98% attended Title I-eligible schools, more than 50% came from single-parent families, and almost 70% tested below grade level in reading and writing. Additionally, many of the children we worked with were bilingual, newly arrived immigrants, or English language learners (ELL). Any LeAp program can be adapted for students with special needs, including ELL and bilingual students, special education. 3535278 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 413 0 129 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 NY X X LEARNING THROUGH AN EXPANDED ARTS PROGRAM INC 2127694160 441 WEST END AVENUE NEW YORK NY 10024 ILA GROSS 50.00 X X 175000 0 21037 ALICE KRIEGER 50.00 X X 175000 0 0 JODI CAPLAN X 0 0 0 FREDERICA WALD X 0 0 0 TRUDY SCHLACHTER X 0 0 0 DAVID GOOD X 0 0 0 JOHN SINGH X 0 0 0 URSULA KALISH X 0 0 0 CATHARINE MARION X 0 0 0 RICHARD LANNING X 0 0 0 350000 0 21037 2 0 1 0 SPEZ CO INC 325 WEST 86TH STEET NEW YORK NY 10024 CONSULTING 242778 1 685057 390335 1075392 SERVICE FEES 611710 3760504 3760504 3760504 6591 6591 243040 328860 -85820 -85820 -85820 4756667 3760504 0 -79229 326664 156916 144665 25083 1505599 1151173 293426 61000 113962 81360 27248 5354 170470 121702 40759 8009 10919 10919 29426 28377 1049 79136 79136 163735 163735 22888 22888 18120 17556 564 12894 12894 ARTISTS AND CONSULTING 1842552 1740103 102449 ART SUPPLIES 116733 116733 WORKSHOP AND PRINTING 62176 62176 BAD DEBT 47507 47507 MARKETING 17164 17164 32296 32296 4572241 3535278 833455 203508 232043 682601 485645 889441 1927451 1405320 165249 140650 27841 24599 764360 768922 5684 5684 3443024 3776567 104798 221434 54000 158798 221434 X 3284226 3555133 3284226 3555133 3443024 3776567 X 0 1 1 X 1 1 X 1686564 2458936 2033883 2949003 1077893 10206279 1686564 2458936 2033883 2949003 1077893 10206279 10206279 48385 77646 78796 25205 6591 236623 39021 39021 10481923 0.97370 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 165249 140650 24599 24599 4756667 4572241 184426 86481 86481 270907 4843148 86481 86481 4756667 0 4756667 4572241 0 4572241 0 4572241 Part X: Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: LEAP RECOGNIZES THE EFFECT OF INCOME TAX POSITIONS ONLY WHEN THEY ARE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT OF BEING SUSTAINED.
