“990 PART VI LINE 12C The Organization distributes a written conflict of interest policy and code of ethics that applies to all employees. Directors are prohibited from owning any interest in any entity with which the Organization engages in any business or contractual relationship of any kind, and are required to disclose any conflicts of interest to the Board. Additionally, the Organization periodically solicits bids for contracts from a pool of vendors and as a result performs due diligence as to the same vendor multiple times. This frequent contact allows for more continuous monitoring of potential conflicts. Contracts with any vendor related to a Director or officer are considered related party transactions and are reviewed by the Board with a high level of scrutiny. Conflicts are required to be disclosed to the Board prior to the discussion of the proposed contract, and the related party is prohibited from any discussion or voting in connection with the contract. The Board determines whether the contract provides the goods or services that are most needed by the Organization and whether the best price for such goods or services is being obtained in comparison with the proposed contract. If there is a question as to whether a conflict exists, the Board holds a vote to determine whether a conflict is deemed to exist, with any interested Director or officer excluded from the proceedings.”

The proposed salaries are then submitted to the Directors along with the supporting information for consideration, and the Directors then vote to determine the salary that will be offered to each officer. The officers are excluded from these proceedings until the salary offer is extended. To determine the salary of the Deputy Superintendent, the President, and Vice President, a Business Consultant who specializes in the education field review the compensation of comparable executives in multiple counties located in the same geographical region as the Organization. This same group reviews progress toward and achievement of academic and financial goals for the most recently completed school year, and prepares new goals for the upcoming school year. The current salary is reviewed with the compensation information gathered and the success in achieving previous goals to determine if any adjustments will be made to the annual salary. The Deputy Superintendent then meets with the group to review and sign the upcoming school year goals agreement and is given the opportunity to negotiate salary at that time.”
