Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 4A

The Learning Center provides math, reading and science programming to students in 1st through 12th grades. Our programming is unique because our students are grouped according to their skill level and not their grade level, providing an opportunity to place a laser focus on skill development within a small group setting. College Coaching The program enables its participants and families to gain valuable information about attending college, as well as structured strategies for obtaining necessary resources to attend college. Our focus is middle and high school students with a strong focus on improving and maintaining high academic performance. Students practice writing a resume, cover letter, and personal essay, and are encouraged to apply for camps and summer experiences to increase their marketability to colleges and provide insight into particular career areas. Robotics For more than 15 years, we have partnered with Black Family Technology Association to offer Lego robotics for elementary students and Vex robotics for middle and high school students. For the past 5 years, our students have participated in local and regional robotic competitions. CISCO Network Academy This is a four-semester training curriculum designed to prepare students to obtain industry standard certification. It is a challenging program and prepares students for employment in the IT industry. This program targets youth and adults and prepares them to manage, maintain and troubleshoot network systems.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4ACONTINUED

The program is designed to ensure student success through small classes, continuous feedback, and personal interaction between student and instructor. KUAW 98.5 Radio - We are in partnership with Black Family Technology Association, broadcasting KUAW Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom radio. Since August 2016 we have been on the air with internet programming. We are currently hosting 12 local community shows. The radio station has grown faster than anticipated and we recognize the value this service brings to a community who is often neglected and disenfranchised.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Learning Center provides math, reading and science programming to students in 1st through 12th grades. Our programming is unique because our students are grouped according to their skill level and not their grade level, providing an opportunity to place a laser focus on skill development within a small group setting. College Coaching The program enables its participants and families to gain valuable information about attending college, as well as structured strategies for obtaining necessary resources to attend college. Our focus is middle and high school students with a strong focus on improving and maintaining high academic performance. Students practice writing a resume, cover letter, and personal essay, and are encouraged to apply for camps and summer experiences to increase their marketability to colleges and provide insight into particular career areas. Robotics For more than 15 years, we have partnered with Black Family Technology Association to offer Lego robotics for elementary students and Vex robotics for middle and high school students. For the past 5 years, our students have participated in local and regional robotic competitions. CISCO Network Academy This is a four-semester training curriculum designed to prepare students to obtain industry standard certification. It is a challenging program and prepares students for employment in the IT industry. This program targets youth and adults and prepares them to manage, maintain and troubleshoot network systems.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The program is designed to ensure student success through small classes, continuous feedback, and personal interaction between student and instructor. KUAW 98.5 Radio - We are in partnership with Black Family Technology Association, broadcasting KUAW Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom radio. Since August 2016 we have been on the air with internet programming. We are currently hosting 12 local community shows. The radio station has grown faster than anticipated and we recognize the value this service brings to a community who is often neglected and disenfranchised.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2This question is not applicable because committees cannot bind the Organization without board approval . However, the question must be answered to electronically file. Accordingly, we checked no to signify that the question is not applicable.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3The tax return is prepared by a CPA firm form the organizations audited financial statements. A draft of the return is reviewed by the the Executive Director. Once all questions are resolved, the tax return is provided to the board members for their review-approval prior to filing.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4The Board adopted a conflict of interest policy to govern conflicts of interest situations that may arise from time to time among the corporation, directors, corporation employees, officers, and agents. The policy is reviewed annually by the directors and officers, updated where appropriate, and signed.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt5Compensation was set by the Board of Directors based on a recommendation from a committee established to review of compensation information of peer organizations in the Kansas City metropolitan region with top executive officers that have similar roles and responsibilities.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt6This question is not applicable because we did not pay compensation to anyone meeting the requirements. However, the question must be answered to electronically file. Accordingly, we checked no to signify that the question is not applicable.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt7These documents are maintained at the Organizations corporate office and made available to requesting parties upon request.
