Compliance
Since our founding in 1998, the Educational Service Center of Lake Erie West (ESCLEW) has sponsored our program.
Sponsors, like ESCLEW, work with community schools by:
- checking for compliance with state laws and regulations
- monitoring student progress and other organizational outcomes
- conducting site visits and stakeholder interviews, and
- sharing these results with board members on a regular basis

Fiscal
The Autism Model School’s fiscal services, including treasurer duties, are provided by Massa Financial Solutions, based out of Canton, Ohio.
Thanks to Massa’s support, the school is a regular recipient of the Auditor of State Award. This distinction is given to school’s who submit timely financial reports and have clean audits, with no questionable costs.
