ECSFMEIT was issued its charter by the Board OF the Regents of New York State Education Department in January 2010.ECSFMEIT uses its innovative management structure called the Ember to operate its charter school, one that takes advantage of the unique strengths of the professional-partnership organizational model to maximize the acquisition, development and retention of top human capital to serve our students, achieve our mission and realize our vision. The Ember is a hybrid of the traditional nonprofit-charter school structure and the professional service firm (the management structure used by law firms, medical practices, investment banks, etc.): while like the traditional nonprofit in that the Board of Trustees maintains ultimate control and close supervision over the organization, the Trustees delegate the day to day management, leadership and operation of the school to a small group of its teacher-leaders (the Partners), who, like law firm partners who continue to practice law, will continue to teach fulltime and divide the school-wide level responsibilities among the group, each Partner taking on a distinct leadership/management role. The remaining classrooms in the school will be staffed with Associates (both Senior and Junior), who are teachers with anywhere from 0 to 5 years of teaching experience or equivalent. Like all top law firms, the expectation will be that every Associate is working towards becoming a Partner, a teacherleader who is ready to join in partnership with their colleagues to open and lead more schools. ECSFMEIT does not have one traditional Principalinstead the current SIX (6) Partners are the co-school leaders, delegated full authority over the school as a group (as a partnership); with the support of an Executive Officer and administrative staff to manage and operate the day to day business and operations of the school, the Partners will be able to focus on their twin responsibilities of teaching (students and Associates), and leading (serving as the strategic planners and decision makers for the enterprise). As a group, the Partners report directly to the Board of Trustees and are held accountable for the success of the charter school. ECSFMEIT began with three (3) Associates and three (3) Partners, where each Partner managed and supervised a specific set of enterprise level responsibilities (Business-Operations (Managing Partner), Instruction-Assessment-Data (Pedagogy Partner), and Special Education/ELLs/Special Family Matters (Stakeholder Services Partner)).DURING THE FISCAL YEAR END JUNE 30, 2017 ECSFMEIT ADDED A FOURTH "PARTNER." DURING THE FISCAL YEAR END JUNE 30, 2022 ECSFMEIT ADDED THE FIFTH AND SIXTH "PARTNER."Ember Charter Schools is a merger between two innovative schools, Teaching Firms of American (K-6)and The Anew School (7-11), designed to foster and developer the untapped potential our students who are traditionally, and unfairly, labeled "at-risk". We believe that when given access to opportunity, any child can reach their potential, becoming a community leader today and well into the future. 12356748 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 79 0 true 137 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false NY X EMBER CHARTER SCHOOL FOR MINDF 7182853787 616 QUINCY STREET BROOKLYN NY 11221 RAFIQ KALAM ID-DIN PARTNER 40.00 0.00 X 279392 0 11187 DAMIEN DUNKLEY PARTNER 40.00 0.00 X 256577 0 33165 ARDNAS RASHID PARTNER 40.00 0.00 X 214828 0 19620 Nkenge Carter Partner 40.00 0.00 X 185630 0 18171 Kwadwo Gyase Partner 40.00 0.00 X 187087 0 11818 Doron Townsell PARTNER 40.00 0.00 X 187087 0 11170 Lovell Harmon Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Harry Simmons Vice Prdent 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chrystal LaRoche Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Wes Jackson Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Aundre Oldacre Trustee 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 1310601 105131 6 false true false Affirmed Technologies 137-11 131 Ave Jamaica NY 11436 IT Services 412884 Zulu Warriors Security and Entertainment Serv 1100 Peachtree St NE 200 Atlanta GA 30309 Security 231250 Honors Haven Retreat & Conference 1195 Arrowhead Road Ellenville NY 12428 Professional Development 228992 Red Rabbit LLC 1751 Park Avenue New York NY 10035 Meals 554958 Asase Yaa Cultural Arts Foundation 68 Jay Street 201 Brooklyn NY 11201 Performing Arts 220413 6 1873186 221956 38871 2095142 STUDENT ENROLLMENT 611710 8574581 8574581 8574581 33 33 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 900099 48202 48202 48202 10717958 8622783 33 0 0 0 0 1438714 1236299 160731 41684 0 5305839 4624093 660923 20823 123549 107240 15166 1143 823861 708949 107376 7536 511923 444346 62839 4738 0 85000 85000 92230 92230 0 0 0 491583 454251 37080 252 316090 306254 9146 690 285649 247942 35063 2644 320513 283844 34098 2571 0 860739 747117 105657 7965 0 0 0 4125 1007 142 2976 0 377849 327970 46382 3497 104534 90735 12832 967 REPAIR & MAINTENANCE 1056366 916920 129670 9776 SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS 661060 661060 STAFF DEVELOPMENT 559321 485488 68657 5176 FOOD SERVICE 541601 541601 217069 171632 10639 34798 14177615 12356748 1673631 147236 3622164 1418106 0 1295705 359276 0 0 0 31225 11862 0 123227 162522 2034622 1293471 649142 741151 0 0 0 0 75229 10865113 5796692 13558030 1478737 1354114 8443 311753 150000 150000 11042308 1637180 12858175 X 4084283 604129 75229 95726 4159512 699855 5796692 13558030 -3459657 X false true X true true true X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 396890 146749 250141 1450972 1030192 420780 186760 116530 70230 741151 Operating lease right-of-use assets 10669387 RESTRICTED ASSET-RESERVE FOR REPLACEMENT 95726 Security deposit 100000 10865113 operating lease liabilities 11042308 11042308 X 10717958 10717958 10717958 14177615 14177615 14177615 Part X : FIN48 Footnote Tax StatusThe School is tax-exempt under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and has been classified as a publicly supported organization as described in IRC sections 509(A)(1) and 170(B)(1)(A)(II).Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the School has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken and has concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statement.The School is no longer subject to income tax examination by federal, state, or local tax authorities for years before June 30, 2020. true true true true true true true false false false false false false false false true false true Schedule E, Line 3 - Racially Nondiscriminatory Policy Publicized THE SCHOOL'S APPLICATION FORMS CONTAIN CLEAR BOLD FACED DESCRIPTIVE LANGUAGE OF ITS ADMISSIONS POLICY AND PROCEDURES REGARDING DISCRIMINATION:TFOA DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANY STUDENT, EMPLOYEE OR OTHER PERSON ON THE BASIS OF RACE, ETHNICITY, NATIONAL ORIGIN,GENDER, DISABILITY OR ANY OTHER UNLAWFUL GROUND.THE ADMISSIONS POLICY IS REPORTED AND PUBLICLY DISCLOSED ON ITS WEBSITE:TFOA-Professional Prep Charter School is a public schoolall children eligible to attend NYC Public Schools are eligible to attend TFOA-Professional Preparatory Charter School. **Children must turn 5 by December 31st of their Kindergarten year to be eligible for Kindergarten.All children who live in CSD 16 will be given priority in the lottery.All children who have a sibling who attends/is accepted to attend TFOA-Professional Preparatory Charter School will be given a preference.In the event that we receive more applications than the number of seats we have available for each grade, a lottery will be held at the school, where there will be a random selection process to allocate available seats.At the lottery all applications received by the application deadline will be randomly assigned a lottery numbergenerally seats will be allocated to applications in order of lottery number.Any applications that are not assigned a seat at the lottery will automatically be placed on a Waitlist for seats that may become available at a later time; assignments from the Waitlist will also be made in order of lottery number.
