“In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the board members and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After the presentation to the governing board or committee meeting, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. The chairperson of the governing board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether the school can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested board members whether the transaction or arrangement is in the school's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. Each board member, principal officer and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers shall annually sign a statement which affirms such person received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, read and understands the policy, and agreed to comply with the policy.”

“The organization will make its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
