“The officer roles are now more cohesive; clarified that this is a governing board and not just an advisory board; clarified that suhsd board has oversight of sca but not all of sshs; clarified that committees don't have the authority of the full board.”

“The shasta union high school district board of trustees, as sca's chartering authority, has the option to appoint 1 representative to the sca governing board. The suhsd board has never exercised this option. If they were to do so, that board member's authority would be limited to the charter school realm and not extend to the larger nonprofit sphere.”

“There are no committees with the authority to act upon the governing body.”

“The form 990 is prepared by the organization's outside public accounting firm based on information provided by management. Once a draft of the return is available, it is reviewed by management with any changes or revisions incorporated into the filing. The revised return is then submitted to the board of directors for their review and approval prior to submitting to the irs.”

“All employees, officers, and directors are covered under the organization's conflict of interest policy. All designated employees are required to annually disclose potential conflicts, as well as when they arise. Monitoring is performed regularly by the officers to identify potential conflicts of interest. The board or designated committee reviews any conflicts presented by interested parties. The chairperson appoints a disinterested person or committee to investigate the transaction in question and report findings to the board. Alternatives to the proposed transaction are identified and compared to the proposed transaction. Any questions of a conflict are addressed with the designated employee, who is required to disclose the existence of any material financial interest and be afforded the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the board and executive director. The board votes on the most beneficial option for the organization. If the board has reason to believe an interested person has failed to disclose the potential conflict, the board will investigate further and if necessary, take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action. If a conflict of interest is identified, the organization will not enter into any contract or transaction in which a designated employee has a material interest. All deliberation and decisions are recorded in meeting minutes.”

“The director's pay is determined based on data provided by external charter management organizations and school districts and through comparison studies of other charter schools and school districts. The board must vote to approve the director's compensation as a direct action. The officers and key employees' pay is determined based on data provided by external charter management organizations and school districts and through comparison studies of other charter schools and school districts. The board must vote to approve the officers and key employees' compensation as a direct action. The process described here was last completed in 2024.”

“Upon request the governing board secretary will make the organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public.”
