Review for May Institute, Randolph, MA, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

The Chatham School at 100 Seaview St was sold in Sep 2005 for $5,600,000 with a mortgage of $4,480,000 (80%). But the buyer was able to obtain an additional financing in Jun 06 for an additional $3,000,000. So how much was the property really worth?

Review for May Institute, Randolph, MA, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

I have only heard and read great things that The May Institute has been able to accomplish with autistic children. For this they deserve 5 stars.
But, like others have commented, is it truly necessary to be paying upper management these kinds of salaries? Based on the longevity of most of them, I would find it hard to believe that there aren’t other benefits that aren’t shown in the report. How many of them will have golden parachutes when they retire? Who pays for the CEO to fly back and forth? How many have company vehicles?

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

From reading newspapers and the internet.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Cut adminstrative costs!
