Covenant Academy

“The 990 is sent to the board together with the internally prepared financials for their review. Once all questions have been resolved the 990 is e-filed and a final copy provided to the board.”

“All board members are asked annually to disclose any financial conflict of interest. If any conflict of interest exists at any time, the affected board member(s) are asked to recuse themselves from discussion and vote when there are issues that are potential conflicts of interest. This policy is strictly enforced and potential conflicts and their resolution are noted in the board minutes.”

“Governing documents are available to the public upon request.”

“Volunteers are an invaluable resource for the school. They help the academic program in several ways including supporting teachers by making copies for them, grading rocket math, and by assisting with feasts, plays and other class events. Other volunteers support academic events by judging the speech meet and acsi art competition, or by working as graders for math olympics. The fundraising events, like the spring banquet, provide many other opportunities for volunteers to assist the school. In the wake of hurricane harvey's devastation, volunteers provided many hours of work restoring the campus. As a result of this outpouring of support, we were able to reduce the financial cost of recovery. The four members of our board are all volunteers and provide oversight that guides our school.”

“Student leadership development currently includes the addition of student leadership classes and encouraging, training, mentoring, and supporting an active student council. Students also participate in both the national and junior honor societies. In 2017-18 covenant academy began offering a before and after school care (basc) program for enrolled students from pre-k through 6th grade. Students are given time to play, rest, snack, work on homework and prepare for a successful school day both before and after school. Students enrolled in basc are mentored by upper school students under the supervision of covenant faculty. In partnership with our families, the basc program is available on a monthly or as needed basis for their convenience.”

“In the wake of hurricane harvey, the school suffered damage to the building and the loss of a significant amount of its school equipment and supplies. Due to many hours of volunteer labor, and donations of supplies and some equipment, the repair work was completed at a significantly lower cost than was originally anticipated. The generosity of many individuals and organizations meant that much of the school's equipment and supplies were replaced at no cost to the school.”
