*CIS received a $13 million donation from MacKenzie Scott in 2022 and created an 8-year implementation plan for this funding. Because that $13M revenue was reported in 2021-2022, expenditures that are part of the 8-year plan exceeded the revenue for the 2024-2025, as we use this gift strategically to invest in students, staff and the sustainability of the organization.
