Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 3

“The organization has delegated bookeeping and daily operational duties to the edkey inc., a related nonprofit charter school.”

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

“Treasurer of the organization 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 organization reviews and discusses the conflict of interest policy and requests that each borad member list and acknowledge any know conflicts.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The organization does not currently have any paid officers or employees. However, 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 organizations using forms 990, compensation studies, and other available data. The borad or committee would then approve any changes to the compensation agreement based on this information.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 18 19

“The organization will provide in a timely manner, copies of all tax returns, governing documents including its conflict of interest policies and financial statements when requested in writing or in person.”
