Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

Each fiscal year, all corporation representatives shall file with the secretary of the corporation a statement listing for the corporation representative and his or her spouse all directorships, memberships, or other relationships which might cause the individual to be biased or otherwise partial in any business or charitable matter involving the corporation. Such statements shall be filed within 45 days after the beginning of each fiscal year or for board members at the annual board meeting. The information provided in such statement will be used solely in the internal management of the corporation to effect the administration of its conflict of interest policy, and by providing the requested information, each corporation representative acknowledges understanding of this requirement and consents to this (and no other) use. All potential conflicts of interest shall be disclosed at the earliest possible time during any meeting or other proceeding at which a matter is to be considered involving an organization in which such a personal interest is held. When a conflict or potential conflict exists, the affected person shall abstain from voting or acting upon the pertinent item, withdraw from the meeting, and abstain from participating in or informally influencing the decision-making process except to provide factual information upon request. The corporation's president and head of school will monitor proposed or ongoing transactions for conflicts of interest and disclose them to the board of trustees.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

Contemporaneous documentation and recordkeeping: there is contemporaneous documentation and recordkeeping with respect to the deliberations and decisions regarding the compensation arrangement.
