11.3. School Partnerships Unit (3% of Pro Forma FYE December 31, 2005 Revenue)
Through the School Partnerships Unit, KLC OpCo provides customized before and after school
educational enrichment and recreational programs for school age and preschool children in partnership
with elementary schools. KLC OpCo provides these partnership services primarily through 573 sites in 20
states. Average tuition ranges from $35~$75 per week, payable in advance. Parents account for 94% of
total tuition received, while state and grant subsidies account for the remaining 6%.
These before and after school programs are typicaliy conducted in collaboration with public schools and
located on-site at public school campuses. The success of the programs has led to the development of
summer camps, remedial programs, and drop-in care. Programs are operated under the Champions
name. Because each program is relatively small (approximately 40 children per program), operating
costs associated with running each program are minimal. Little or no capital investment is required and
the contracting school typically provides on-site space for the program. Contract tenures range from one
year to evergreen. They often stipulate that KLC pays minimum fees to the elementary schools for use of
facilities.
KLC OpCo's November 2004 acquisition of EdSolutions, Inc. ("ESI") provided it entry into the
Supplemental Education Services ("SES") tutoring business. The SES business is part of the federal No
Child Left Behind Act's effort to improve the performance of students at failing schools. KLC OpCo
operates 72 SES sites. ESI is approved to provide SES in 19 states and our plans call for ESI to serve as
a platform for future growth for KLC.
