“The form 990 is provided to the finance committee, audit and risk committee, and the board prior to filing the return.”

“Each year the school sends and collects conflict of interest forms to all officers and directors. The forms are presented and completed at a scheduled meeting.”

“An evaluation committee, who has outside expertise in the area, meets periodically, reviews the head of school based on established goals, considers comparable data to ensure compensation is reasonable given the job and through deliberations reports their recommendations to the board. The board minutes reflect these discussions.”

“Epiphany school makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public upon request.”

“Epiphany is an independent school for children of economically disadvantaged families, with scholarships for all. We admit children of diverse faiths, races, cultures, and cognitive profiles, believing in the episcopal tradition that we find god in and through each other. In close partnership with families and community partners, we are an innovative learning community. We offer structured support to enable children to discover and develop the fullness of their individual gifts and to help their families thrive. Our early learning center serves infants, toddlers and preschoolers through a rich, child-centered curriculum and whole-family program model to ensure kindergarten readiness and family self-sufficiency. Our middle school offers small classes, individualized curricula, and extended hours providing rigorous academic, moral and social instruction to children in grades five through eight. Our graduate support program provides abiding educational, personal and career guidance and assistance to our graduates, ensuring they are prepared to contribute intelligently, morally, and actively to the society they will inherit. Our teacher training program supports aspiring urban teachers, including many of our own graduates. Our impact center shares best practices to improve educational outcomes on a broad scale. Together we are a school that never gives up on a child.”

“A separate audit and risk committee, comprised of three members, was formed by the board of trustees. This committee is responsible for selecting an independent accounting firm and overseeing the audit process each year, which includes reviewing the audited financial statements and having a separate conversation with the auditor about the results of the audit.”
