What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

V.I.N.E. - Valley's Individual Needs Enhancement

We believe that all students can learn and are uniquely created and gifted by God; we also believe that He has a purpose and plan for their future – handicapped and non-handicapped alike. It is the vision of Valley Christian High School to develop and implement a comprehensive, Christian high school special education program that will prepare each student for their next step in life, whether that is higher education, vocational education, internship, apprenticeship or other specialized training.
Special education teachers will manage the student IEPs, setting up team meetings including parents, student, teachers, counselor, and administrator and if appropriate, related service providers. Teachers will make appropriate accommodations to the curriculum as per the IEP to provide the maximum learning experience for each student. It may also mean teachers must learning more about the student’s learning style and provide a whole new way of teaching.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Data

We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.

Policies and processes

We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
