“The finance committee reviews form 990 and highlights of the form 990 are reviewed with all board members at a board meeting. Each board member will receive a copy of the 990.”

“The organization regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with its conflict of interest policy by: a) the use of annual acknowledgement and acceptance and annual financial interest disclosure statements (the "annual disclosure") which are prepared and distributed by the board president and/or head of school. This annual disclosure must be completely, accurately and timely submitted by each significant person. B) the duty to disclose procedure which states that a significant person must disclose the existence of any interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the persons the board has designated to consider the proposed contract, transaction or arrangement. Such information must be provided so that decisions are made with full knowledge and understanding of the significant person's interest. C) continuing disclosures procedure which requires that if, after completion of the annual disclosure, any significant person becomes aware of anything that could give rise to a potential conflict of interest with respect to a proposed contract, transaction or arrangement involving the organization, the significant person shall promptly disclose that interest to the board or the head of school. Please note that the term "significant person" is defined as any director, trustee, officer, key employee or committee member with board delegated powers. Violations of the conflict of interest policy are addressed as follows: a) if the board (or committee) has reasonable cause to believe a significant person has failed to comply with the disclosure requirements in this policy, it shall inform the person of the basis for such belief and afford the person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclosure. B) if, after hearing the significant person's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the board or committee determines the significant person has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”
