HYDE SCHOOL Questions about Finances
Anonymous:
Does anyone know the financials of Hyde School?
The tuition at Hyde is very high and yet the living quarters are lacking, the food is sub standard, and highly skilled teachers are non existent other than the few that stay for only one or two years.
Most of the newer buildings come from donations from parents so again I ask, where does the money go?

I have no idea whether Hyde makes the budget information available.
I'd add to your comment that Hyde does not spend money on the kinds of social services (counseling, etc.) that every other boarding school for struggling teens spends money on. The other schools we've visited recently (alternatives to Hyde) that attract very similar students spend lots of money on mental health counseling staff. I don't see any of that at Hyde (which is one of the school's major problems - Hyde admits so many students with mental health issues but doesn't have staff to deal with this).

You are wrong. Hyde does have a way for dealing with kids with severe mental health issues. They use unskilled staff and senior students to do so!! Isn't this the way all specialty programs who charge $35,000 a year do it?????
Please potential parents, don't be foolish and buy into Hyde!!

You can see exactly what the school makes and how is spends it's money along with the top 5 salaried employees at http://www.guidestar.com
When you are a 501(c)3 non profit institution you have to file your numbers each year...
You'll see that NOBODY is making any money here and for once and for all this discussion thread can die a quick death...
AMEN!!

I'd like to direct your attention to IRS Form 990 filed by the Hyde School (Bath) for 2003. On page 27 of this IRS document, Malcolm Gauld's income is listed as $170,790 with an employee benefit plan contribution of $58,911. Laurie Hurd's income is listed as $94,000 with an employee benefit plan contribution of $14,111. The comparable IRS form for the Woodstock campus lists Duncan McCrann's income as $94,000 with an amployee benefit plan contribution of $14,285 (page 28). These figures are two years old.
Do you still think that, to quote you, "NOBODY is making any many here"?
