After incorporating any recommendations or modifications, the 990 is finalized and sent electronically to the board of directors prior to filing with the irs.”
“At the beginning of each fiscal year board members, the chief education officer, and the school director are required to sign a statement indicating that they are familiar with the academy's policy and that they either have no conflicts or list whatever conflicts they may have. Potential conflicts of interest are discussed and reviewed at the board meeting.

“The executive committee of the board of directors of domus kids, inc. Convenes prior to the start of fiscal year to review the compensation of the chief education officer. Before approval, the committee gathers information from organizations comparable to domus kids, inc., trailblazers academy, inc. And stamford academy, inc.
