THE CAMPAIGN IS FOCUSED ON TWO PROJECTS - TRACK AND FIELD, AND LIBRARY REIMAGINED.TRACK AND FIELD: THIS PROJECT INCLUDED A RENOVATED TRACK AND FIELD.

IT WILL BE A SITE FOR CLASS WORK,SMALL GROUP PROJECTS, AND INDEPENDENT RESEARCH. THE SPACE HAS NOT HAD UPDATES IN 40 YEARS, AND NEEDS AMENITIES FOR MULTIMODAL LEARNING AND MODERN RESEARCH NEEDS. THE LEARNING AND INNOVATION CENTER WILL BE IN THE SAME LOCATION AS THE CURRENT LIBRARY AND WILL INCLUDE RECONFIGURED SPACES INCLUDING: FLEXIBLE, COLLABORATIVE LEARNING SPACES, DOCKING STATIONS FOR COMPUTERS AND RESEARCH RESOURCES, AND PRESENTATION SPACES WITH UPDATED TECHNOLOGY.

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. 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.
