A total of 28 students joined the after-hours coaching. Participation in the area circuit of private colleges dropped due to a lack of coaching resources and a decline in student enrollment. With fewer students, it was hard to form volleyball and basketball teams in various categories, leading to more limited competition involvement.

The preparer who assisted him with managing the information and data from the financial statement is a volunteer, not a paid professional. The organization has faced significant problems with past paid preparers, which have been fully reported to the IRS. Since finding a skilled and dependable paid preparer has been difficult, they decided to rely on the volunteers experience and dependability, working alongside the paid CPA who handles the organizations financial statement and local tax filings. This setup has worked fairly well, thanks to the organizations small size and simple operations.

Policy XXVI specifies the non-discriminatory clause which is part of the following documents: 1. Enrollment form 2. Employment application 3. Official letterhead 4. Student Manual The non-discriminatory clause is published in the organization website. The non-discriminatory clauses read as follow: "The Academy Nuestra Señora de Fátima Inc. admits students of any race, color, ethnic origin or nationality to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to the students. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnic origin tor nationality in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs". Since the adoption of this policy, the Academy has operated in a bona fide manner as demonstrated by the composition of the students and employees. The ethic composition of Puerto rico is the result of a mixed of tainos indigens, Spaniards and Africans descendants. According to a 2010 genetic study, 63.7% of the population is of European descendant, 21.2% is of African descendant and 15.2% of Taino descendants. Regarding racial composition, 49.8% self-identify as multiracial, 17.1% as white, 7% as black and 25.5% of another race. In the 2020 census, 98.9% of the population self-identified as Hispanic or Latin. For the purpose of recording the racial/ethnic composition of the students, three racial/ethnic composition groups have been established: (1) People with white complexion, or white heritage excluding Asian (2) People with black complexion, or African heritage and (3) People of other complexion, and heritage.

On going problems with Microsoft 365, specifically: (1) security involving two steps verification and set up of Authenticator App, (2) set up of peer-to-peer internet connection, to add a second computer to cope with the number of financial transactions required by the organization, (3) set up of Excel App using Microsoft 365. The lost efficiency is estimated 50% of the normal output. The organization sense of urgency has prompted Microsoft to assign a resource to assist it in the full implementation of Microsoft 365.
