The president and ceo is a non-voting, ex-officio member of the committee. The committee is authorized by its charter to exercise power of the acero board of directors in relation to matters that arise between regularly scheduled board meetings or when it is not practical or feasible for the board to meet. The committee is delegated the authority to act as the full board when exercising the powers and authority under its charter.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

The controller will work on the form 990 and then review it with the deputy general counsel. Then it is provided to our cfoo for his review prior to being reviewed by our president/ceo. If no changes are made then our auditors provided the final for signature.

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

Monitoring is done on an on-going basis by management and the board of directors and is accomplished as part of regular board of directors meetings and monitored by corporate attorneys. A policy has been established to define conflicts of interest and shall require that each officer, director, and employee with decision-making authority of the entity certify at least annually that he or she has no conflict that has not been disclosed in the appropriate certification form. The policy also includes practices for monitoring proposed or ongoing transactions and dealing with potential or actual conflicts, whether discovered before or after the transactions has occurred.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

Human resources researches comparable ceo compensation by reference to salary surveys, independent consultants, and publicly available information. This information is included in the compensation information package given to the board by the chief culture officer. The board uses this information to determine and document annual compensation. The independent board of directors review the reasonableness of the compensation arrangement and approval is documented in the board minutes. The board of directors also approves any proposed compensation to any individual that is $150,000 or greater. The process described here was last completed in 2025.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 9:

Transfer of net assets in merger 1,803,080.

Form 990, Part XII, Line 2C

There is no change from the prior year. Oversight of the audit and selection of an independent accountant are performed by the board of directors or appropriate committees of the board.

Acero marquez merged with acero charter schools in february 2025 and transferred residual net assets of $1,083,080 at that time.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The school is exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code (irc). However, income from certain activities not directly related to the school's tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. In addition, the school qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under section 170(b)(1)(a) and has been classified as an organization other than a private foundation under section 509(a)(2). Management of the school believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the consolidated financial statements.
