“The all-volunteer board is made up of parents of current and former students of calmont high school. Elections for the officers are held at the may meeting for two-year terms as described in the bylaws. All members who attended the meetings are eligible to vote in the elections. Members are recruited from incoming and current carlmont parents. The officers are nominated from the membership.”

“Regular monthly meetings are publicized on the organization's website and the membership is open to any interested community members. The organization's board members solicit information and suggestions from school administrators, faculty and staff, to determine the financial needs for the school. The board develops a budget of the items which can be supported during that fiscal year period and submits that budget for a vote of approval by the board and the members at large. Any release of funds is approved by vote at regular meetings and depends on available funds. The performing arts council is a separate committee in the carlmont academic foundation that plans the fundraising, develops the annual budget and approves the expenditures specifically for the performing arts center. The committee holds its own meetings and maintains the minutes and documentation of their actions.”

“Upon completion of the organization's tax returns, a copy of the tax returns, including form 990, are distributed to the board for their review and approval prior to filing with the internal revenue service and other state government agencies.”
