“Seattle Amistad School has a written conflict of interest policy which board members review annually. The policy requires disclosure of interest, relationships and holdings that could potentially result in a conflict of interest. Board members are also requested to disclose, on an ongoing basis, any potential conflicts of interest in an organizational transaction or decisions which would affect themselves, their family members, employer, or associates; and may not participate in discussion or voting on such matters. Staff members are also required to adhere to the conflict of interest policy.”

“The compensation for the Head of School position is set by the board of directors, all of whom are independent, using data on compensation rates for comparable positions, the public school district salary scale for years of experience and education, the advice of professionals in their field, and with consideration for budget constraints and equity among positions within the organization. This process is done annually and was last undertaken in 2020. There are no other paid officers or key employees.”
