The Search Group | Carney, Sandoe & Associates 1 [email protected] | www.carneysandoe.com SCHOOL HISTORY The history of Park Tudor School begins in 1902 when Fredonia Allen and The Reverend James Cumming Smith founded Tudor Hall School for Girls. Allen was the first principal, and the Reverend Smith (formerly pastor of Tabernacle Presbyterian Church) served as the school’s first dean. Park School began in 1914 as The Brooks School for boys. When the school developed financial problems in 1920, seven Indianapolis businessmen purchased it and operated it as Boys Preparatory School. In 1929, the name of the school was changed to Park School. Both Park School and Tudor Hall were founded to provide the kind of education offered by Eastern preparatory schools of the era. The schools operated country day school programs, and Tudor Hall also had offered boarding facilities. The students always enjoyed a close association as neighbors. When Tudor Hall merged with Park School in 1970 to become Park Tudor School, the Upper School was built, and a small gymnasium was added to the larger gym. In the following decades, the Fine Arts Building and Frederic M. Ayres Auditorium opened, the Middle School as moved into a facility of its own, the Ruth Lilly Science Center gave the school a state-of-the-art science facility, and an expanded gymnasium complex was built. The Lower School was renovated in 1997 and joined to the new Hilbert Early Education Center, which houses junior and senior kindergarten. In 2000, a new addition joining the Upper School to the Fine Arts Building and a total renovation of these two buildings, as well as a number of other campus improvements, were completed.

  • Public Disclosure for Tax-Exempt Organizations
    Public Disclosure for Tax-Exempt Organizations Tax-exempt organizations are required to make a copy of their application for exemption and Form(s) 990 (and 990-T, if applicable) available for public inspection and to provide copies of such forms to individuals or organizations that request copies. Alternatively, the Internet may be used to make these documents available. (See the “Using the Internet” section which follows.) These rules apply to an organization’s Form(s) 990 (and 990-T, if applicable) for the last three years and to its application for exemption.1 If the application was filed prior to July 15, 1987, disclosure is not required unless the organization had a copy of the application on July 15, 1987. An organization may omit names and addresses of contributors from its return(s). Failure to comply with disclosure requirements can result in an enforcement action by the IRS. While disclosure rules create an additional burden, they also provide an opportunity for your organization to showcase the community benefits that it provides. The rules also heighten the need to carefully review all responses, including narrative explanations, contained on your Form(s) 990/990-T before filing. Where Must Information Be Provided? Generally, an organization must make its documents available for public inspection at any location where it has three or more employees. If the only services provided at the site are in furtherance of exempt purposes and the site does not serve as an office for management staff, the documents are not required to be made available there. How Quickly Must Organizations Reply? Requests for copies can be made in person or in writing.
