Development and Fundraising The Valley School development policy is not based on the notion of growth for growth’s sake, but rather on one of expansion and significant campus improvements to meet well-defined needs and opportunities. While the school maintains general operating obligations from revenue generated mostly from tuition payments, it requires special funding to complete major projects such as buying and remodeling property. In response to clearly articulated objectives approved by the Board of Directors, parents and friends of the Valley School have participated enthusiastically in direct fund drives. When the cost has occasionally exceeded the estimate for a particular project, the school has met the need with monies from a reserve fund rather than from money borrowed outside the school. The Valley School plans to maintain this conservative fiscal policy and to welcome continued parental support of its specific goals for growth and development. As of fall 2004, the entire campus and all its current buildings are paid for. © 2004  The Valley School  |  309 31st Avenue East, Seattle, WA 98112  |  (206) 328-4475  |  info@thevalleyschool.org
