“Every year the officers, directors, and trustees are required to sign our conflict of interest policy.”

“The finance committee of the board of directors establishes reasonable compensation and benefits for the urban assembly's chief executive officer. The committee reviews annual compensation surveys and executive compensation comparability data for public charities similar to the ua. Once they have reached a decision, it is presented to the full board for approval. The officer whose compensation is being determined does not participate in the discussions and deliberations of, and the voting on, his or her compensation.”

“The assembly does not make its governing documents, conflict of interest policy or financial statements available to the general public.”

“The urban assembly ("ua") is a non-profit organization that creates, manages and serves a growing network of new york city public secondary schools. We are dedicated to empowering underserved students by providing them with the academic and life skills necessary for college and career success. During the 2015-16 school year, we served more than 9,000 students in 21 schools from under-resourced neighborhoods across the bronx, manhattan and brooklyn. The ua does not screen student enrollment. Our student population is 80% low-income, 75% of students enter below grade level, and 20%-nearly twice the city average-need special education services. By addressing and transcending the challenges our students face, the ua school network consistently achieves a graduation rate 10% or more above the city average, and nearly 20% above the city average for african american and latino students. 80% of ua graduates enroll in college. The ua has a two-prong strategic focus: 1. The creation and support of high quality, effective secondary schools for predominantly low-income students; 2. The development of best practices and innovative programs that will be disseminated throughout our network and the field of public education.”

“The urban assembly had an employment management agreement with a professional employment organization ("peo" through october 2017) which provided a comprehensive personnel management system encompassing a broad range of services, including benefits and payroll administration, health and worker's compensation insurance programs, personnel records management, employer liability management, etc. Employees are included in a form w-3, transmittal of wage and tax statements, issued directly by the peo.
