Commitments for salaries, leases and maintenance fees are on an annual basis and the absence or withdrawal of a student does not reduce operating expenses. Westside Montessori Academy Society is a non-profit society and will take the necessary legal steps to recover any losses incurred by non-payment of any fees owed. WMA and its Board of Directors make staffing and program decisions for each upcoming school year based on projected revenue and expenses based on the registrations that have been made.
