New Leaders for New Schools

Costs


New Leaders for New Schools’ major internal program cost categories include:

  • Recruiting & Admissions Costs – Includes the significant investment of staff time in application review, first round interviews, and finalist day selection activities. Also includes travel for candidates from outside our program cities.
  • Summer Foundations Costs – The largest area of our budget, this includes all delivery and travel costs for our summer Foundations courses. Major components are the costs of the faculty, the travel/housing costs for the Residents for six weeks, and the course materials and copyrights.
  • Residency Costs – Includes ongoing materials, coaching, and support costs for the yearlong Residency, including staff costs for all of our Leadership Coaches, who provide direct coaching and support to our New Leaders and run the weekly cohort meetings in all local program sites.
  • Foundations Seminar Costs – Includes costs for four week-long sessions during each academic year when we bring New Leaders back together for additional course content and reflection.
  • Certification Costs – Includes all administrative and course credit costs for state approval of the New Leaders for New Schools curriculum and the receipt of state certification for each of the Residents from our university partners in each local program city. We are working to designate New Leaders as an alternative route to certification in all of our cities, and therefore decrease or eliminate this cost.
  • Placement Support Costs – Includes costs for placement assistance for program participants in urban charter schools in each of our program cities.
  • General Management Costs – Includes costs for general management, fundraising, and research and development.


    • Our business model relies on both philanthropy and district support. Our diverse array of funding sources includes corporations (e.g., The Boeing Company, FedEx, Wachovia, AOL), venture philanthropies (e.g., New Profit, Inc. and NewSchools Venture Fund), foundations (e.g., The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation), and public funding.
