THE READ · FREE SUMMARY
North Myrtle Beach Christian School is burning the cushion faster than the 7-month buffer suggests. Expenses are outpacing revenue 18.7% vs 4.3% per year over three years, and the latest operating margin is -5.6% on a 71% tuition-dependent revenue mix. Covering the deficit at today's rate, it would take more than a decade to exhaust reserves — the full budget, by contrast, is covered for about 7 months if every revenue line stopped. The board conversation here is the recovery plan for the operating model and the timeline to break-even. NACUBO Composite Financial Index: 0.3 / 10, re-engineer.
