The Partnership for After School

“Alison overseth and kenneth deregt have a family relationship.”

“The partnership for after school education has its form 990 prepared by an outside accounting firm and has established the following review process to ensure that the information reported is complete and accurate: when the form 990 has been prepared, it is first reviewed by management and any changes are incorporated by the outside accountants. The draft form 990 is then reviewed by the finance committee of the board of directors and additional changes, if any, are incorporated. Finally, once the form 990 is ready to be filed with the internal revenue service, a copy is electronically sent to the board members of the organization before filing.”

“All board members are required to sign a conflict of interest statement annually. Any director having a possible conflict of interest on any matter should make disclosure of such interests to the other directors. In the event of a conflict of interest, the director should not vote on the matter, but such director or member shall be counted in determining the quorum for the meeting. In the discretion of the chair of the board of directors, a director with a possible conflict of interest may be required to leave that portion of a meeting that considers the matter as to which there is a possible conflict. The minutes of the meeting should reflect the making of the disclosure, the abstention from voting, the quorum situation, and whether the director was present or absent when the matter was considered. Any officer of pase having a possible conflict of interest on any matter before such officer for administrative action shall report such conflict to the ceo or, in the case of the ceo, to the chair of the board of directors, and shall abstain from taking any administrative action on such matter pending further direction from the ceo or chair, as the case may be. The foregoing requirements shall not be construed as preventing any director or officer of pase from briefly stating his or her position in the matter, nor from answering pertinent questions of the other directors or officers of the pase.”

“The methods used to establish compensation for the ceo was determined by compensation surveys, an executive committee and the comparison of the form 990 of other organizations. This process was approved and documented in the board minutes. The compensation of the ceo is reviewed annually by the board chair and the executive committee of the board. The compensation review process was last undertaken in fy23. Decisions regarding compensation are documented in the minutes and in the personnel files.”

“The organization's form 990 and the audited financial statements are available for public inspection as required under section 6104 of the internal revenue code. The form 990 is posted on the organization's website, guidestar.org and other similar types of websites. In addition, the conflict of interest policy, articles of incorporation and by-laws are also available upon written request or by calling the organization directly.”
