These programs share a common mission: to help every child find their voice. In pursuit of that singular Mission, each day, extraordinarily dedicated and talented individuals make significant differences in the lives of the children and adults they serve.The programs of the School work independently and collaboratively to ensure the best outcome for each person served. As a core part of its mission, the School has never denied access to a student in need of our services because of a family's socioeconomic circumstances. The School effects transformative change in the lives of children and adults through research-based practices, innovation, advocacy, and partnerships with other organizations so that each child at the Atlanta Speech School and every child served - in Georgia and beyond - can acquire the language and literacy abilities essential for deciding their own future and going on to make the greatest possible difference in the lives of others.As the nation's most comprehensive center for language and literacy, the four schools on campus serve approximately 390 preschoolers and elementary-age children annually. These schools are the Katherine Hamm Center (a listening, spoken language, literacy program for children ages birth to six who are deaf or hard of hearing and their families); the Wardlaw School (elementary school for children with dyslexia); Stepping Stones (literacy-foundation preschool for young children with significant speech and/or language delays); and the Anne & Jim Kenan Preschool (a language and literacy focused early childhood education). 8520202 119941 Through the Rollins Center for Language & Literacy ("Rollins Center"), the Speech School acts as the educational equivalent of a teaching hospital. The Rollins Center takes professional development to the field, allowing the School's mission to reach beyond the campus. With a specific vision of literacy and justice for all, the Rollins Center carries the School's 86+ years of expertise through research-based practices along the continuum from prenatal through fifth grade. This work is made available for all child-facing adults: educators, college students, caregivers, health care professionals and communities across fifty states and more than 130 countries. The Georgia Board of Education ("GaDOE") charged the Rollins Center to scale our work statewide, beginning with 11 carefully selected school districts. The partnership launched with $6M of state investment, in the wake of the passage in spring 2023 of the Georgia Early Literacy Act, HB538. As part of the partnership, GaDOE endorsed Cox Campus as the official provider of structured literacy training and created "Georgia Literacy Academy" to bring the Science of Reading to all Georgia K-3 teachers by way of Cox Campus coursework and resources. The most recent data indicates that since November 2023, more than 348,000 courses have been completed, returning $52.5 million in value to Georgia districts. Beyond Georgia, we have seen state agencies and partners help to scale access to Cox Campus in Alabama, Ohio and across the island nation of Jamaica (thanks to the connection from UWGA). In Ohio, more than 28,892 educators are Members of Cox Campus, and collectively they have completed 165,342 courses to fulfill a state-endorsed credential we developed together (an estimated FMV of $24.8M). On the horizon, Rollins is working with Kennesaw State University to integrate Cox Campus into their preservice programs, and micro-credentials for caregivers and nonprofit staff and volunteers who serve in schools, libraries and early learning centers.Our Rollins Center synthesizes the nation's leading research to deliver?training to break the cycle of illiteracy. Public health providers and early childhood and elementary teachers - from birthing centers through third grade classrooms - use Cox Campus to access the sciences of healthy brain development, structured literacy and the deep reading brain. There are more than 380,000 members on the Cox Campus, and the evidence is clear that the Cox Campus is a powerful learning platform. With a 92% course completion rate - far above the industry average of 25% - more than 1.2 million courses as of this writing have been completed on the platform made possible through philanthropic investments and systems partnerships. Conservative estimates indicate that Cox Campus has provided more than $180 million in course content, at no cost to educators or their districts. 1585206 68473 540150 Through the Learning Hub, the School provides diagnostic, therapeutic and remediation services to both children and adults along the reading brain continuum. These services include Speech-Language (evaluation and therapy for children and adults); Occupational Therapy (pediatric therapy to address sensory integration, handwriting, or fine/gross motor difficulties); and tutoring (specialized individual or small group academic intervention for children struggling academically.) 28450364 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 91 0 1 377 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 44 43 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 GA X Daniela Olaye 4042335332 3160 Northside Parkway NW Atlanta GA 30327 Carrie Lanier Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Katie Michaels Post Vice Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Kathryn Bridges Miller Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 William H Linginfelter Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Antonin Aeck Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Virginia N Almand Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jay Bailey Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jen Bennecke Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kenzie Biggins Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ali Blaisdell Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 David Bowlin Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Molly Eskew Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Freeman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jasmyne Frowner Teacher 40.00 X 82646 0 15720 Akilah Heggs Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Andrea Hershatter Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Hertz Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Liza Jancik Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Hardman Knox Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Arielle Garber Kohan Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lee Loughran Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Chaundra Luckett Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rhonda L Matheison Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Mellott Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Eileen Millard Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Anthony Montag Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Moses Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Ashleigh Murriel Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brooke Perez Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kama Bethel Pierce Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ursula Reynolds Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Russ Richards Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy Brumley Robitaille Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 David Roemer Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lyle Ross Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rafael I San Miguel Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sachin Shailendra Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Chelsea Ulrich Tarnoff Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Greer Taylor Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Susie Trotochaud Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Caroline Warren Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Glenn D Warren Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ellen Wiley Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rayna Wooden Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 James Comer Yates Executive Director 40.00 X 190000 0 9500 Daniela Olaye Chief Financial Officer 40.00 X 142367 0 26071 Stacey Wallen Field Implementation Coordinator 40.00 X 120961 0 39852 Aaron Spitalnick Director of Technology 40.00 X 160468 0 19945 Ryan James Director of Rollins Center/Chief Academic Officer 40.00 X 175826 0 42596 Lola Stringer Director of Afterschool/Summer 40.00 X 118199 0 17832 Laura Bollman Director of Strategy & Operation Rollins 40.00 X 125190 0 26567 1115657 0 198083 17 0 1 0 Flik Independent Schools PO Box 50196 Los Angeles CA 90074 Food Services 703554 Tangible Inc 33 Rue Bowen S 104 Sherbrooke Quebec CA JIG 2C4 Web Support 322420 Cleanstar National 540 Collins Rd Marietta GA 30066 Cleaning service 291612 Brownieland Pictures 2221 Peachtree Rd Suite D4193 Atlanta GA 30326 Rollins Portal Development 291300 The Hanover Insurance Group PO Box 580045 Charlotte NC 28258 Insurance 261651 12 265000 6843806 7108806 Tuition and Fees 900099 15851258 15851258 15851258 3662367 3662367 1154338 0 1154338 1154338 1154338 111619 140377 -28758 -28758 -28758 213136 265000 217477 -4341 -4341 27743670 15851258 0 4783606 1633059 1633059 482319 110310 372009 17556471 15901677 1180773 474021 875377 789971 61092 24314 2264887 2017912 184775 62200 1319748 1169066 114906 35776 185380 185380 48500 48500 111619 111619 1931187 1705972 218509 6706 152553 2295 150258 345890 337597 6220 2073 235675 231215 2973 1487 290452 290452 1262220 1210646 42988 8586 180154 180154 Miscellaneous expenses 933775 820844 112931 Supplies 696832 653198 42920 714 Portal development 677620 677620 Expenses from restricte 603449 361999 106051 135399 591471 536531 51976 2964 32378638 28450364 3061103 867171 2241952 946053 16018015 6797247 280549 174214 68720 49429 46872526 21198763 25582965 25673763 78122647 88357560 2026080 1684286 240563 416110 124581491 124098662 2295490 2576253 3333377 3262703 5628867 5838956 X 61877328 64943125 57075296 53316581 118952624 118259706 124581491 124098662 X -4634968 3862709 79341 X 0 1 X 1 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 72127 72127 0 Part II-B, Line 1: The School hired a consultant for the creation and execution of a plan designed to 1) advocate in the State of Georgia's legislative and executive branches to generally advance the School's agenda relating to literacy;
