“The school has a relationship with a charter management organization, ascend learning, inc., a new york state not-for-profit corporation, which provides management services and facility development costs pursuant to an agreement between both parties. The management fees for the year ended june 30, 2018 amounted to $10,157,731.”
“Form 990 is reviewed by management and the finance committee of the board of trustees for approval. If changes are required, the school will then forward the form to the auditing firm and a final version will be distributed to all board members prior to the irs submission.”
“The school shares its conflict of interest policy with board members and officers as part of their regular meetings. Officers, directors, and key employees are expected to declare if at any point a conflict of interest arises. In addition, the board of trustees sign an annual conflict of interest disclosure form. After disclosure of a conflict, the individual in question must recuse themselves from voting on the matter. Such matters involving the existence of conflicts of interest are to be documented in the minutes of the governing board.”
“An annual meeting is held by the compensation committee to review performance, scope of work (i.e. Size of school), salary comparables from nyc public schools, and national charter schools and determine compensation for the following year. This happens annually and is documented in the board minutes. The last time this occurred was in 2017.”
“The organization makes its form 990 available for public inspection as required under section 6104 of the internal revenue code. It is posted on guidestar.org. In addition, the financial statements, conflict of interest policy, articles of incorporation and by-laws are also available upon written request at 205 rockaway parkway, brooklyn, ny 11212, or by calling the organization directly at (347) 464-7600.”
“Gain on transfer of leases and loans to related party 257,358.”
“The school has a finance committee that is responsible for oversight of the audit and selection of the independent auditor. The process has not changed from the prior year.”
“The school recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Management has determined that the school had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition or disclosure. The school is no longer subject to examinations by the applicable taxing jurisdictions for years prior to june 30, 2015.”
“Gain on transfer of leases and loans to related party 257,358.”
