“In fy2016, trailblazers academy amended its bylaws to reflect charter school laws and best practices for school and public entity governance. The following changes were made: - removed domus kids, inc. As its sole member - added a requirement that one director be a teacher at the academy and one director be a current parent of a student attending the academy - increased board term limits from 1 year to 2 years - additional sections were added detailing the role of the board including its general and specific duties, voting procedures, and the adoption or amendment of policies”
“The form 990 information is assembled by the chief financial officer with assistance from other staff. The information is sent to trailblazers academy's independent audit & tax firm who completes and reviews the return. The completed return is reviewed by management and the finance & audit committee. After incorporating any recommendations or modifications, the 990 is finalized and sent electronically to the board of directors for consideration and approval 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. Any officer or director deemed to have a conflict of interest must recuse himself/herself from discussions and decisions on the transaction which he/she is a part of.”
“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the general public upon request. Financial statements and public versions of the 990s are available on the website, www.domuskids.org.”
“The academy has a committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and the selection of an independent auditor. This process has not changed in the current year.”
“Trailblazers is generally exempt from income tax under 501(c)(3) of the u.s. Internal revenue code. Trailblazers recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Management has determined that trailblazers had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition or disclosure. Trailblazers is no longer subject to examinations by the applicable taxing jurisdictions for periods prior to july 1, 2013.”
