Sparrow Pilot — Intake Questionnaire

Finance

Top financial questions you need to answer for the board / leadership this year? How do you build the budget today, and the most painful part of it? Which scenarios / what-ifs do you most want to model? (tuition, enrollment, financial aid, compensation, endowment draw…) Which metrics or ratios does your board watch most closely? (days cash, operating margin, DSCR, CFI…) Financial reports or files you rebuild repeatedly that you'd love to generate in minutes?

Advancement

Top fundraising / campaign questions on your plate this year? How do you currently benchmark giving, participation, or endowment against peer schools? Which donor or campaign analyses take the most time to assemble? What would help you walk into a board or development-committee meeting more prepared?

Sparrow never surfaces donor names or gift amounts in any shared or published material.

Academics

Top academic or program decisions on your plate this year? What enrollment, staffing, or program data do you wish you had at your fingertips? How do you compare Sea Prep's program and outcomes to peer schools today? What recurring reports or analyses eat the most of your time?

Admissions

Top admissions / enrollment questions this year? (yield, funnel, financial-aid leverage, demographics…) How do you forecast enrollment and net tuition revenue today? Which schools do you most often compete with for students? What admissions data or reporting is hardest to pull together?

President's Office

Top strategic questions for the school and board this year? What do you most want at your fingertips before a board meeting? Where does Sea Prep currently spend on outside consultants or research that Sparrow might offset? The one thing that, if Sparrow nailed it, would make this pilot a clear win for the school?
