John W Lavelle Preparatory Charter School

“The President, Director of Operations, and Director of Finance provide preliminary answers and explanations to all questions on for 990. The Director of Finance coordinates with the School's independent auditors to determine proper interpretation of the questions to ensure all answers are accurate so as to properly describe the School's hierarchy, corresponding levels of authority, processes used by its governing body, members, officers, key employees and any relationships between themselves and/or outside entities involved in the School's day to day operations and it's business dealings. Amounts provided on form 990 are derived from the School's books and records which support the independently-audited financial statements for the period. Finally, the board of trustees reviews a preliminary draft of the form 990 and Schedule O at an executive board meeting. Members of the committee verify the accuracy of the answers and/or make edits to properly capture the details of the organization's operations. A final draft including the changes agreed upon is approved by members of the committees. Copies of this final form 990 are distributed to all board members before filing.”

“The organization has a "board approved" conflicts of interest policy. Each board member must fill out an annual declaration stating they had no conflicts or identifying the nature of their interested party transactions.”

“Compensation for the president was determined independently by the board of trustees based on the value of skills, expertise and leadership. The candidates would provide to the school in accomplishing its mission.”

“Federal tax law does not require that such documents be made publicly available except as part of a form that is publicly available (Such as Form 1023, or Form 1024).”
