Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“The school has not changed its oversight or selection process during the tax year.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The school is a tax-exempt organization pursuant to section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Although the school was granted income tax exemption by the internal revenue service, such exemption does not apply to "unrelated business taxable income". There was no unrelated business taxable income during the year. The school files information returns in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction, which are no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for years before june 30, 2022. Management believes that all positions taken on such returns are supportable.”
