S2 IS A PLACE WHERE STUDENTS, FAMILIES AND EDUCATORS ARE SEEN, HEARD, AND INSPIRED AND WHERE STUDENTS BUILD THE ACADEMIC FOUNDATIONS, EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS NECESSARY TO EXCEL IN THEIR FUTURES. S2 DRAWS ITS NAME FROM THE CONCEPT OF THE PUBLIC SQUARE, WHERE COMMUNITIES GATHER TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND CELEBRATE SUCCESSES. 0 0 22533102 0 162838 ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IS OUR KEY FOCUS. S2 IS COMMITTED TO BEING DATA DRIVEN WHILE KEEPING STUDENTS, NOT ONLY TEST SCORES, AT THE CENTER. OUR STUDENTS COME FROM MANY PLACES WITH VARIED LEVELS OF ACADEMIC SKILLS. TO MEET STUDENTS AT THEIR LEVEL AND PACE, A CO-TEACHING MODEL ALLOWS FOR TARGETED TEACHING IN ALL CORE ACADEMIC CLASSES. STUDENTS WHO ARE PARTICULARLY STRUGGLING BENEFIT FROM ADDITIONAL SMALL GROUP LEARNING PERIODS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. AS WELL, STUDENTS CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF COMPUTER-BASED BLENDED-LEARNING CURRICULA IN BOTH ELA AND MATH, WHICH PROVIDE EXTRA PRACTICE FOR LOWER PERFORMERS AND MORE CHALLENGING WORK FOR HIGHER PERFORMERS. WE ARE PERSONALIZING EACH STUDENT'S EDUCATION BECAUSE THAT IS THE KEY TO THEIR SUCCESS.2. LEARNING EXTENDS BEYOND THE CLASSROOM. S2 OFFERS HIGH QUALITY EXPERIENCES THAT SPARK EACH STUDENT'S PASSION FOR LEARNING AND BUILD SKILLS BEYOND CORE SUBJECTS. TEACHING ARTISTS AND STAFF FROM COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS MENTOR COHORTS OF YOUTH THROUGH INTEREST-ALIGNED PROGRAMMING. STUDENTS BENEFIT FROM OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE PEOPLE'S THEATRE PROJECT AND THE METS BASEBALL TEAM, AND ENJOY PLAYING RUGBY, MAKING MURAL ART, TAKING CLASSES IN CODING AND EXPLORING CARTOON ART. THROUGH THESE PROGRAMS STUDENTS GAIN A VISION OF FUTURE POSSIBILITIES AND FORGE BONDS WITH THEIR COMMUNITY.3. BUILDING A DEMOCRATIC COMMUNITY. AT S2, WE GIVE STUDENTS VARIED AND AUTHENTIC OPPORTUNITIES TO PRACTICE DEMOCRACY AND MAKE CHOICES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT. EVERY SIX DAYS, STUDENTS COME TOGETHER FOR VOICE, A TIME FOR READING TEXTS, DISCUSSING COMPLICATED ISSUES, DEVELOPING PROPOSALS AND PRESENTATIONS, AND PARTICIPATING IN DEMOCRATIC DECISION-MAKING. THROUGH VOICE, WE EMPOWER STUDENTS TO ADDRESS IMPORTANT SCHOOL, COMMUNITY AND SOCIAL ISSUES WHILE LEARNING MULTICULTURAL AWARENESS PRACTICES AND PERSPECTIVE TAKING. WE FIND THAT WHEN CHILDREN BELIEVE THEIR CHOICES MATTER, THEY CRAVE THE ACADEMIC AND PERSONAL SKILLS NECESSARY TO EXERCISE THEM RESPONSIBLY. 22533102 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 72 0 1 214 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X ROBERT KEOGH 4TH SECTOR SOLUTIONS 7189167683 120 WADSWORTH AVENUE NEW YORK NY 10033 SCOTT LEVENSON CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MINDY TUCKER TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHELLE DELONG SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JOEL TALISH TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT GOTTLIEB TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL POLLACK TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER GATOF TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW CAVANNA TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 WALTER RENDON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 LUCY VASSERMAN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW HENRIQUEZ TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 LORI LANDGARTEN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 EVAN MEYERS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 284283 0 56098 YEOU JEY VASCONCELOS HEAD OF SCHOOLS 40.00 X 236297 0 55585 CAROLYN DISBROW COO 40.00 X 157684 0 24207 JUMAANE SAUNDERS PRINCIPAL 40.00 X 211677 0 22792 PANOREA PANAGIOSOULIS PRINCIPAL 40.00 X 183538 0 11012 HANNAH WERNO PRINCIPAL 40.00 X 135840 0 16079 KIMBERLY GUILLEN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL 40.00 X 149598 0 22816 LUIS ALFREDO GALLEGOS ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL 40.00 X 146056 0 13991 SHELLEY MURRAY ASSESSMENT COORDINATOR 40.00 X 128994 0 21615 REBECCA MORALES SCHOOL COUNSELOR 40.00 X 124227 0 7675 1758194 0 251870 17 0 1 0 BUTTER BEANS INC 39-01 22ND ST ASTORIA NY 11101 FOOD SERVICE 581325 CHARTER TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS LLC 132 32ND ST SUITE 310 BROOKLYN NY 11232 IT CONSULTING 211080 UNDERDOG STRATEGIES 7101 BAY PARKWAY BROOKLYN NY 11204 STUDENT RECRUITMENT 141640 4TH SECTOR SOLUTIONS 8550 UNITED PLAZA BLVD STE 601 BATON ROUGE LA 70809 FINANCIAL CONSULTING 139426 PRIMO HOME SERVICES 2204 AMSTERDAM AVE NEW YORK NY 10032 FACILITY MAINTENANCE 109400 5 21498185 5341160 44583 26839345 AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM FEES 611710 162838 162838 162838 82150 82150 OTHER REVENUE 900099 153775 153775 153775 27238108 162838 0 235925 1291680 940576 334340 16764 11503685 9056024 2442066 5595 310322 245431 64891 1415520 1113392 300686 1442 923802 722403 199885 1514 100264 100264 192278 192278 850034 667893 182141 384085 300350 83105 630 284195 222237 61492 466 8422728 6586480 1822443 13805 169641 169641 318019 248688 68810 521 193238 151110 41811 317 STUDENT SERVICES 1205159 1205159 EQUIPMENT 485777 379872 105109 796 PROGRAM AND OPERATING S 375113 297601 3177 74335 PROFESSIONAL DEVT. 151437 151437 277418 244449 32722 247 28854395 22533102 6204861 116432 715133 1024824 101621 101722 3589742 4716742 177251 104819 3102694 1579753 862271 1522941 1498032 1580062 15712849 82790325 22656899 91841435 894024 1998233 242144 0 19903728 89842486 21039896 91840719 X 1617003 716 1617003 716 22656899 91841435 -1616287 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 831336 495703 335633 1117650 681219 436431 1153708 402831 750877 1522941 SECURITY DEPOSIT 47535 NET OPERATING LEASE - RIGHT-OF-USE ("ROU") ASSET 21056088 FINANCE LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET, NET 61686702 82790325 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY 25257937 FINANCE LEASE LIABILITY 64584549 89842486 X 27238108 0 27238108 0 27238108 28854395 0 28854395 0 28854395 PART X, LINE 2: THE SCHOOL DOES NOT BELIEVE ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDE ANY MATERIAL, UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS.
