Mission and programs · 2024

• CCSSO IN 2025 SUPPORTED OUR MEMBERS TO LEAD EFFECTIVELY AND SERVE THEIR STUDENTS, EDUCATORS AND COMMUNITIES IN THEIR STATES AND TERRITORIES. ON OUR ANNUAL MEMBER SURVEY 96% OF RESPONDING CHIEFS AND DEPUTIES INDICATED THEY ARE SATISFIED WITH THEIR MEMBERSHIP AND 93% RATED CCSSO PROGRAMS AND BENEFITS AS VERY GOOD/EXCELLENT.THIS YEAR CCSSO LAUNCHED THE STATES LEADING NETWORK, A NONPARTISAN NETWORK DESIGNED TO HELP STATES LEAD WITH CLARITY AND STRENGTH IN A CHANGING LANDSCAPE. OUR HIGH-QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT NETWORK CONTINUED TO GROW, EXPANDING TO 16 STATES. CCSSO RELEASED AN IMPACT REPORT, DEMONSTRATING INCREASED STUDENT ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS ACROSS THE STATES AS A RESULT OF THIS NETWORK AND EXPLORING THEIR WORK TO ALIGN EDUCATOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO THOSE MATERIALS. CCSSO CONTINUED ITS SUPPORT TO STATES AROUND MATH AFTER PUBLISHING IN LATE 2024 A NATION OF PROBLEM-SOLVERS: HOW STATE LEADERS CAN HELP EVERY STUDENT ACHIEVE IN MATH. MATHEMATICS IS THE BACKBONE OF A 21ST-CENTURY EDUCATION AND IS CRUCIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CRITICAL THINKING, PROBLEM-SOLVING AND INNOVATION. CCSSO'S REPORT SUPPORTS STATE CHIEFS AS THEY SEEK EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES TO ENHANCE MATHEMATICS OUTCOMES FOR ALL STUDENTS. THE REPORT HAS SEEN NEARLY 9,000 SESSIONS SINCE IT WAS PUBLISHED.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
