Policy changes may only be adopted or revised in the regular meetings of the Board of Directors.”

“Charter members of the organization are those who subscribe in writing to the terms of the Statement of Faith, and who contribute to the support of the organization a sum of five dollars or more annually.”

“Members of the Tri-State Christian School Board of Directors are approved by a quorum of the Parent Association. A quorum consists of one-fourth of the membership.”

“The Form 990 is provided to the Board of Directors before it is filed. The Organization's Administrator and Bookkeeper review the 990.”

“The conflict of interest policy covers Board Members and Officers, as well as those employees annually designated by the Board who influence the actions of the organization or its Board, or make commitments on their behalf. The policy is completed annually. The areas in which conflicts are reviewed and addressed are: 1. Persons or entities supplying goods and services to the organization. 2. Persons or entities from whom the organization leases property and equipment. 3. Persons or entities with whom the organization is dealing or planning to deal in connection with the gift, purchase, or sale of real estate, securities, or other property. 4. Persons or entities paying honoraria or royalties for products or for services delivered by the organization for its agents or employees. 5. Other ministries or nonprofit organizations. 6. Donors and others supporting the organization. 7. Stations or programmers that carry the organization's programming. 8. Agencies, organizations, and associations that affect the operations of the Organization. Disclosure is made to the Chair of the Board, or if this person is the one with the conflict, then to the Board as a whole. The Board then determines whether a conflict exists and is material, and in the presence of an existing material conflict, whether the contemplated transaction may be authorized as just, fair, and reasonable as to the organization. The decisions on these matters are the sole discretion of the Board. The Board's first concern must be the welfare of the organization and the advancement of its purposes. If a decision is made that an individual has a conflict that individual is not allowed to vote on the matter.”

“Compensation for the Administrator of Tri-State Christian School is determined by the Board of Directors with salary adjustment recommendations based on an annual evaluation and comparability data. The Organization documents and provides substantiation in the Board minutes for the compensation process. This process is completed annually and was last undertaken in FY 2015. There are no other officers or key employees of the Organization.”

“The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request at the Organization's address.”
