“Trustees shall be appointed by a majority vote of all trustees then serving. Appointments are to a term of either two or three years, so as to stagger terms, and a trustee may be re-appointed for additional terms. A trustee shall serve until such trustees successor has been appointed and qualified, or until the trustees earlier death, resignation or removal. Expiration of a term shall impose on the board a duty to reappoint or replace the trustees, but shall not by operation or these bylaws remove the trustees. New appointments shall be made each calendar year, generally during a meeting in june, july, or august, as needed to fill vacancies. No decrease in the number of trustees will have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent trustees.”

“The 990 is reviewed by the board prior to filing.”

“The organization reviews the policy each year. Throughout the year, they will ask if there are any possible conflicts with anything, and if there is, the board member will recuse themselves from voting on that issue.”

“The form 990 is posted to the schools website and is available for the public to review.”

“Colorado law requires all schools to post the following information on the schools website: district adopted budget-including uniform budget summary current and prior two years, district financial audit current and prior two years, quarterly financial statements current and prior two years, salary schedules or policies current and prior two years, list of waivers received, individual school site financial information current and prior two years, and other district specific financial information.
