Located at 75 North Walnut Street in the downtown Carrousel District of Mansfield, the RAA has developed a diverse and valued curriculum where its academic calendar includes year-round classes. During the 2022-2023 year, 1,856 students registered for and attended a total of 11,329 weekly classes.RAA has served thousands of students and families during the past 32 years through our Tuition Assistance Program and has awarded over $751,105 to families in need of financial assistance. We award an average of $25,000 to qualifying students in Richland County and surrounding communities annually. Scholarships are funded through community donations and the $250,000 endowed Neil Doerman Scholarship Trust designated to RAA in 2018. Income-based tuition assistance is limited to a maximum of $2,500 per family based on financial need and according to Federal guidelines.While the history of the RAA is rich, one highlight includes the 1998-2002 Capital Campaign that raised $4.5 million with support from local organizations and individual donors, $400,000 from the State of Ohio, and a matching $400,000 challenge grant from the Kresge Foundation. This campaign allowed the RAA to purchase the current property and begin renovations that have moved our mission forward. 125226 396744 In 2006, the RAA implemented what has become one of the most meaningful collaborations between the RAA and the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) to become a Sponsor of Community Schools. Community Schools are innovative free public schools designed by educators, parents, or civic leaders that are open by choice and accountable to the State of Ohio for results. Charter schools (called Community Schools in Ohio) are independently run and innovative public schools, that foster partnerships between parents, teachers, and students. The National Association of Public Charter Schools has reported that for the past 20 years, the public charter school movement has been a leader in innovation and education reform. RAA has earned an Effective sponsor rating each year since 2017 based on a comprehensive assessment conducted by the ODE. During the 2022-2023 academic year, the RAA will sponsor five community schools including Case Preparatory Academy in Akron; Cesar Chavez College Preparatory School in Columbus; Columbus Bilingual Academy North; Lorain Bilingual Preparatory Academy; and Northside Preparatory Academy in Cincinnati. The RAA is committed to providing our community schools with arts programming.The history of the RAA is important because the institution has served as an incubator for unique community education programs like ZoomZone (2003), the IMAC Conversion School (2005), Foundation Academy (2004-2009), and the Pioneer High School for Performing Arts (2009). The Richland Academy School of Excellence, now known as the Richland School for Academic Arts (RSAA, 2010-2015), was developed by RAA leadership where we maintained operational duties for all facets of the RSAA education programs. The future of the RAA is bright as we lead arts education forward in six Ohio counties and encourage everyone to "Explore the Artist Within." 774299 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true 15 0 true 48 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 13 11 true false false false false false false true true false false true true false true false false false false false OH X MICHAEL BENSON 4195228224 75 N WALNUT ST MANSFIELD OH 44902 MICHAEL BENSON Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 33653 0 0 JESSICA HISER Vice President 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JIM HENRY Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DONALD HOOVER PAST PRESIDENT 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JOANN HIPSHER Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BRIAN HAMILTON President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 TIM HILTERMAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JASON METZGER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT HEIMAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 EDWIN GUTCHALL Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAY WACHS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PAT OLSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ASHLEY PIFER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KIMBERLY MILLER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 33653 0 false false false 0 64981 58112 3276 123093 ARTS AND MUSIC TUITION 611600 272418 272418 COMMUNITY SCHOOL SPONSORS 611710 396744 396744 PUBLIC PERFORMANCES 611600 89785 89785 SPACE RENTAL TO PUBLIC 531120 2610 2610 761557 6309 6309 0 0 0 0 17976 6624 11352 0 13559 4838 8721 8721 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 5196 5196 5196 916228 781783 0 0 300 300 0 93769 41721 40245 11803 0 385383 319556 65827 0 0 41190 30205 10985 6844 6844 17375 17375 24150 12145 12005 0 0 0 28995 28795 200 37445 37445 17611 13171 4440 8049 5676 2373 0 75331 71665 3666 0 0 0 6 6 0 90227 85291 4457 479 19929 18733 1196 PERFORMANCE EXPENSES 63127 63127 TRAVEL AND MEETINGS 9529 5258 3621 650 ARTS PROGRAMS EXPENSES 8031 8031 SPECIAL EVENTS 6425 6425 13023 8961 4062 946739 774299 153083 19357 9787 17819 267222 228960 0 48599 41620 0 0 0 17886 33626 12408 12815 3565868 1976465 1560878 1589403 218544 240118 0 0 0 32577 0 2167901 2164361 37972 47555 28469 28068 66441 75623 X 1834115 1817477 267345 271261 2101460 2088738 2167901 2164361 -30511 17789 X false false false X 74520 94401 199963 162465 137794 669143 523199 493738 602479 707180 775661 3102257 0 0 0 597719 588139 802442 869645 913455 3771400 18764 9118 15885 17625 5508 66900 61614 34770 26888 62201 185473 18764 70732 50655 44513 67709 252373 3519027 1717 6641 9535 104 2524 20521 0 1717 6641 9535 104 2524 20521 0 22848 3441 3830 653 5196 35968 622284 598221 815807 870402 921175 3827889 0.91930 0.92910 0.00540 0.00510 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3334107 1793045 1541062 31094 930 30164 134805 116628 18177 65862 65862 1589403 X X X X X X false OH MISCELLANEOUS EVENTS 17976 17976 6624 17976 17976 6624 6624 11352 JAMES HENRY TREASURER-DIREC. 24150 ACCOUNTING SERVICES false JASON METZGER DIRECTOR 12149 INDOOR AIR QUALITY false BRIAN HAMILTON Director 19091 INSURANCE SERVICES false Schedule L, Part V Supplemental Information JAMES HENRY - THE ACADEMY TREASURER IS A PARTNER IN THE CPA FIRM THAT PROVIDES MONTHLY ACCOUNTING SERVICES TO THE ACADEMY INCLUDING: PAYROLL,GENERAL LEDGER ACCOUNTING,TAX RETURNS,SOFTWARE HOSTING.JASON METZGER-THE DIRECTOR IS AN OFFICER AND FAMILY MEMBER OF AN OWNER OF MG ENERGY GROUP THAT PROVICES THE ACADEMY WITH INDOOR AIR QUALITY SERVICES.BRIAN HAMILTON IS THE ORGANIZATION'S PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY'S FIRM PROVIDES INSURANCE SERVICES TO THE ACADEMY.
