“The organization has its form 990 prepared by an outside accounting firm. It is then reviewed by the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer. A complete copy is provided to all members of the organization's governing body for their review prior to filing.”

“The school has a conflict of interest policy which applies to all trustees, officers, and school employees, whereby such persons sign a conflict of interest dislcosure statement annually. Any trustee, officer or employee who has a potential conflict of interest must disclose the nature and extent of such interest in writing to the board of trustees and members of any committee considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. The interested person may make a presentation at the governing board or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she must leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. If the interest is determined to be a conflict, the chairperson of the governing board or committee may appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee determines whether the school can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement that would not give rise to a conflict. The minutes of the meeting of the board or committee reflect the conflict of interest disclosed, the names of the persons who were present for discussions, and votes relating to the transaction or arrangement.”

The decision is contemporaneously documented in the board minutes, noting (i) the compensation and benefits approved and the approval date, and (ii) the comparability data relied upon and how it was obtained.
