What Is the Future of Your School? Did you know you can predict the future of your school? It’s nothing magical or mystical. In fact, it’s just the opposite. There’s an easy way to look at your school today and figure out where you will be in the future. All you have to do is look at one figure. That figure is your annual profit. Instantly, you say, “We’re a non-profit organization. We don’t have to worry about profits.” It’s true that you don’t have profits but you should have a surplus. If your school is losing money, you won’t be open very long. If you break even, you’ll remain at current levels with zero growth. Yet if you have a surplus, you have the resources to grow. 9
