Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 3

The foundation has delegated bookkeeping and daily operational duties to edkey inc., a related nonprofit charter school management organization.

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

Treasurer of the foundation distributes a pdf copy of form 990 to all board members for review and comment prior to being filed.

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

At each board and committee meeting, if there is a discussion of selecting or engaging a vendor or service provider, all in attendance are asked to recuse themselves from this discussion if there could be a perceived conflict. Annually, the foundation reviews and discusses the conflict of interest policy and requests that each board member list and acknowledge any known conflicts.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

A compensation policy is in place that would require the board as whole, or the executive committee, to review the compensation for all officers or key employees by comparing their compensation to the compensation of individuals in like positions in comparable foundations using forms 990, compensation studies, and other available data. The board or committee would then approve any changes to the compensation agreement based on this information.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The foundation will provide, in a timely manner, financial statements and governing documents including its conflict of interest policy when requested in writing or in person.
