Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part XII, Line 2C

“The School Board assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant annually. This process has not changed from the prior year.”

Related Organization Compensation

“Made an effort to obtain information on compensation, if any, was paid from a related organization. No response received and no transactions noted.”

Authorizer

“The School is required to have an Authorizer to monitor its operations in order to maintain its charter. The School's approved Authorizer during the fiscal year 2017 was the Audubon Center of the Northwoods.”

Financial Statement Notes

Part V, Line 4:

“Board designated to be held in a CD by a trustee in the School's name.”

Part X, Line 2:

“The School is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Internal Revenue Service Code Sec. 501(c)(3). The School is subject to tax on income from any unrelated business. The School is subject to the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification 740 10 (formerly known as FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The School has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and state jurisdiction where it operates. The School believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the School's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Accordingly, the School has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2017.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Board designated to be held in a CD by a trustee in the School's name.
IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The School is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Internal Revenue Service Code Sec. 501(c)(3). The School is subject to tax on income from any unrelated business. The School is subject to the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification 740 10 (formerly known as FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The School has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and state jurisdiction where it operates. The School believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the School's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Accordingly, the School has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2017.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Form 990 is prepared by an independent accounting firm. Once the Form is completed, it is given to the Executive Director for review before it is signed and filed. The entire board does not review the 990 prior to be filed.
