À propos de cet audio
Before you file a single piece of paperwork or enroll your first student, there’s one crucial decision that could make or break your school: your legal structure.
In this essential episode of WISE and Otherwise, education leaders Becky Abrams Wilmoth and Allison Weide break down everything microschool founders need to understand about forming a nonprofit, choosing a board, and staying legally compliant with IRS regulations.
From homeschool co-ops and hybrid models to full-time academies, they share what works, what fails, and what might get you in serious trouble if you're not careful.
In this episode:– The difference between nonprofit and for-profit status (and what founders often misunderstand)– Why “keeping it simple” can backfire legally– The risks of collecting tuition under the wrong status– How Becky grew from field trips to a thriving 300-student nonprofit– What every founder should know about bylaws, boards, and parent volunteers– The importance of clear separation between church, school, and homeschool group
