Governance Explanations

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

“The 990 is reviewed by the accounting manager and office manager. Subsequently a copy is provided to the governing board for review prior to filing the tax return.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“The Conflict of Interest Code COI is monitored annually, at the beginning of each school year. It is also revisited when a new board member is elected. The COI is added as an agenda item at the beginning of each school year by the secretary to the board, and re-addressed when a new board member becomes nominated. A copy of the existing policy is re-distributed at that board meeting. All board members are asked to sign the COI, if they have not already done so. The secretary to the board then reviews that the forms and understanding of the code are up to date.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“Compensation is based on a step-system provided by the School District which authorized Sierra Academy of Expeditionary Learning's charter. Once the amounts have been established, the board votes to approve compensation rates. Compensation is re-visited by the board annually.”

The secretary to the board then reviews that the forms and understanding of the code are up to date.
