Katherine Delmar Burke School Annual Report 2011
Burke’s
Message from the President
of the Board of Trustees
Burke’s mission is to educate, encourage
and empower girls. Our school combines academic
excellence with an appreciation for childhood so that
students thrive as learners, develop a strong sense of self,
contribute to community, and fulfill their potential, now
and throughout life.
The past year was one of progress and change at
Burke’s. After a three-year tenure as Head of School,
Kim Wargo left Burke’s in June to become the headmistress of the Hockaday School in Dallas. Since July 1,
our school has been under the excellent stewardship
of Interim Head of School Lila Lohr. With decades of
school leadership experience, Lila’s wisdom and broad
knowledge of independent schools have helped enable
Burke’s to move forward on all fronts.
Perhaps the most important work of the Board of
Trustees over the past year has been the comprehensive
national search for our next Head of School, which
culminated on November 15 with the appointment of
Michele Williams. Michele will be taking the helm on
July 1, 2012 coming to us from the Stevenson School in
Pebble Beach, California, where she has been Head of
the upper school since 1998.
The unanimous choice of the search committee and
the full Board of Trustees, Michele stood out to all
Burke’s constituents – trustees, faculty, staff, parents
and students alike – for her keen intelligence, strong
and inclusive leadership style, visionary thinking, warm
and approachable personality, and clear alignment with
Burke’s mission and values. I would like to especially
thank Ravin Agrawal and Louisa Consagra for cochairing the search committee and to say how excited
we are to have Michele Williams as the eighth Head of
the Katherine Delmar Burke School.

We continue to make great progress toward our longterm financial and strategic goals while working to
enhance the day-to-day operations of our school.
Among the highlights of 2011, we achieved 99% parent
participation, 100% trustee participation and 94%
faculty and staff participation in the annual fund, raising
a record $951,000 to support the operating budget. In
addition, our Parents’ Association contributed $550,000
to student financial assistance and faculty and staff
development – and $50,000 to the endowment – from
the net proceeds of Family Festival 2010 and Dinner
Auction 2011. These strong fundraising results help
decrease pressure on escalating tuition and are a tangible
reflection of the support of our school community.
Our school is in excellent fiscal shape in no small
measure due to the leadership of Peter Engel, who served
as Treasurer of the Board from 2008 to 2011. Below is
a brief summary of our school’s financial well-being.
• We completed our fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 with
a balanced budget and with total operating revenue of
$12 million. Approximately 82% of our revenue came
from tuition, with 12% from fundraising, 3% from our
endowment draw and 3% from other income.
• Total expenses for the year were $12 million with
CAIS Update
salaries and benefits representing 62% of our expenses
in fiscal 2011. Student financial assistance was 9%,
facilities operations, maintenance and depreciation
totaled 10%, instructional costs were 7% and general
and administrative expenses were 4%. Interest costs
associated with the bonds issued for our campus
renovation and building project (Second Century
Project) decreased to 6% in fiscal 2011 as we paid
down $5 million of these bonds and restructured the
remaining debt in November 2010.
The accreditation process is important in the life
• Reflecting the prudent oversight of our investment
The self-study involved administration, faculty,
committee, Burke’s endowment rebounded to $12.2
million as of June 30, 2011. The endowment is critical
not only to the long-term health of Burke’s but also as it
provides an annual draw that helps fund current operations. Our endowment draw in fiscal 2011 was $360,000.
and staff, along with the Board of Trustees and
One of the highlights of the past year was the very successful introduction of Burke’s first all-inclusive lunch
program for students, faculty and staff, a big step in our
student and community wellness initiative. In addition,
an important project of the Board of Trustees was its
work on revising and updating Burke’s mission statement (see facing page) – kudos to trustee and alumna
Dana Goldberg and our lower school librarian Susan
Faust for leading that effort!
January 29 through February 1, this visiting
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I extend my most
sincere thanks to all our parents, alumnae, faculty,
staff, grandparents and other friends of Burke’s for their
deep commitment and support of our school.
will hopefully lead to a renewed six-year accredi-
cycle of independent schools. Burke’s received
a full six-year accreditation in 2006 from the
California Association of Independent Schools
(CAIS). The school just completed an extensive
self-study as part of the regular 2012 accreditation process. The resulting 176-page self-study
report examines all aspects of school life and
concludes with an action plan for the future.
Parents’ Association. Coordinated by Susan
Faust, the accreditation process will culminate
with a site-visit by a five-member committee,
assigned to Burke’s by CAIS. On campus from
committee is being led by Reveta Bowers, the
Head of the Center for Early Education in Los
Angeles and a highly respected educator who
has participated in 60 school accreditations. The
self-study report provides a rich and full picture
of the school at this moment in time, and we
look forward to the visiting team’s report, which

Our aim is to develop a deep love of learning. This statement from our new admissions
viewbook reflects our commitment to being a community of learners. Students, faculty, staff
and parents contribute to and are partners in the Burke’s educational process.
To enhance student learning, we match our curriculum to the ways that we know girls
learn best – and to what brain research tells us. One example is our new math program,
Investigations, which builds our girls’ problem-solving and critical thinking skills and provides
them opportunities to collaborate, manipulate and “team.”
To facilitate parent learning, we offer a robust Speakers Series and our annual Great Girls Deserve
Great Schools Symposium. These programs bring authors, educators and thought leaders to
campus, such as our 2010 Symposium speaker Dr. JoAnn Deak, who presented advice to parents
and educators on how to help children develop into confident, competent adults.

Play is an integral part of a child’s school experience. A recent report by the Alliance
for Childhood directly links play to children’s ability to master academic content: “Play has
to be seen not as an opposite to work but rather as a complement. Curiosity, imagination and
creativity are like muscles; if you don’t use them, you lose them.”
At Burke’s, we balance the rigor of our curriculum with the firm belief that learning, like
childhood, should be a joyous experience. On our fields, courts, play structures, and studios,
as well as in our classrooms, our girls have ample opportunity for both structured and
unstructured spontaneous play.
playing together

We foster and support the physical, mental, social and emotional well-being of
our community. We are putting this statement into practice in many ways. One way is our
new lunch program, which not only fosters individual health and wellness, but also builds
on our school’s values of community, inclusivity and sustainability.
Another cornerstone of our health and wellness initiative is the adoption of mindfulness.
In recent months, with the help of professionals from Mindful Schools, we have conducted
mindfulness training with our faculty and staff and in-class sessions with students. The results
are already apparent as we see girls across all grade levels incorporating mindfulness in their
studies and broader lives.

We nurture and challenge each girl to achieve not only her highest academic
potential, but also her creative potential. An example of our strong visual arts program is
“Hats off to San Francisco,” a third grade art project. Building on their study of San Francisco,
our third graders creatively integrated their lessons into hats that represented the city’s historical
landmarks. Made of recycled materials, these fabulous creations were featured in our annual
Arts Festival in May.
The culmination of our dramatic arts program each school year is the eighth grade musical.
Last June, the Class of 2011 performed, choreographed, designed costumes for, staged and
managed an outstanding production of Aida, a fabulous accomplishment that reflected each
student’s creative interests and abilities.
