Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“The accounting standards codification requires entities to disclose in their financial statements the nature of any uncertainty in their tax position. The schools have not recognized any benefits or liabilities from uncertain tax positions in 2020 and believes it has no uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that will significantly increase or decrease net assets. Generally, federal and state authorities may examine the school's tax returns for three years from the date of filing; consequently, income returns for year prior to 2017 are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities.”
