“Dcbpcs paid a management fee to centronia. The fee included a suite of services, including senior management oversight, it and hr support, facilities management and food services.”

“The return is prepared by the outside accountants and reviewed by senior management. The finance committee reviews the draft 990 and reports to the board. A copy of form 990 is provided to each board member before it is filed.”

“The finance committee is responsible for making all decisions concerning resolutions of conflicts involving directors, the president & ceo, and other members of senior management. The directors are responsible for making all decisions of conflicts involving employees below the senior management level, subject to the approval of the finance committee. An employee or board member may appeal the decision that a conflict (or appearance of conflict) exist as follows: -an appeal must be directed to the chair of the board of directors -appeals must be made within 30 days of the initial determination -resolution of the appeal is made by vote of the full board of directors -board members who are the subject of the appeal, or who have a conflict or interest with respect to the subject of the appeal, abstain from participating in, discussing or voting on the resolution, unless their discussion is requested by the remaining members of the board.”

“To determine head of school compensation, dc bilingual's board-appointed search committee worked with the centronia human resource team to obtain price comparisons and reviewed the 2014 washington post article that provided salaries for the majority of dc charter school's senior leaders within their respective organizations. The committee, with ongoing support from centronia human resources, compared compensation for leaders in similar roles, at schools with similar sizes and populations to dc bilingual, as well as taking into account years of role experience at the different programs. These data were shared with the dc bilingual board of directors, who voted to approve the salary recommendation.”

“Governing documents, the conflict of interest policy and the financial statements are available to the public by request.”
