“THE FORM 990 INFORMATION IS ASSEMBLED BY DOMUS KIDS, INC'S 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 DOMUS CFO AND THE TRAILBLAZERS ACADEMY FINANCE & AUDIT COMMITTEE. AFTER INCORPORATING ANY RECOMMENDATIONS OR MODIFICATIONS, THE 990 IS FINALIZED AND SENT ELECTRONICALLY TO THE TRAILBLAZERS ACADEMY BOARD OF DIRECTORS for consideration and approval PRIOR TO FILING WITH THE IRS.”
“At the beginning of each fiscal year board members and the chief education officer 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 Board of Directors of Trailblazers Academy reviews and approves compensation of school personnel as part of the overall review and approval process of the annual budget. They use 990s of other schools and salary information from Stamford and neighboring districts. This includes compensation of the school principal. The TA Board notifies the Domus CFO of the approved compensation as documented in the minutes. The School Board last approved compensation in September 2017.”
“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the general public upon request. Currently, financial statements and public versions of the 990s are available on domus kids' website: www.domuskids.org. In the future, financial statements and public versions of the 990s will be available on trailblazers academy's website.”
“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 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, 2014.”
