The Board then reviewed their scopes of work, compared their qualifications and salaries with similar positions at surrounding schools, reviewed the State's teacher salary scale and finally made a determination about each administrator's salary.”

“Keres Childrens Learning Center's (KCLC) board of directors adopted the following policies on December 12, 2017: Conflict of Interest Policy, Whistleblower Policy and Document Retention/Destruction Policy.The Conflict of Interest Policy adopted on December 12, 2017 includes having all board and committee members annually sign an acknowledgement they have read and understand the policy. All board and committee members are required to disclose all businesses or other organizations of which the member, or a member of his family, is an officer, member, owner, or employee; or for which the member or leader, or a member of his family, acts as an agent; or from which the member or leader, or a member of his family, receives compensation or remuneration of any sort, with which KCLC competes or with which KCLC has, or might reasonably in the future enter into, a relationship or a transaction. KCLC also has a policy directing the Board Chair and other board members on how to disclose a potential conflict of interest when issues are discussed or voted on, which includes the interested party removing themselves from the meeting during discussion and vote. The policy directs the board or committee to seek alternates to the proposed transaction so as not producing a conflict of interest unless a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible. Documentation of such discussions and votes is to be written and maintained in corporate records. The conflict of interest policy also directs any board or committee member who has reasonable cause to believe that a person has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest to inform the person of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the response of the person and making such further investigation as may be warranted in the circumstances, the board or committee determines that the person has in fact failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”
