“A draft form 990 is reviewed by the chief financial officer and the audit / finance committee prior to filing with the irs. It is also made available to the full board of trustees. If a board member has any questions they discuss it with management.”

“Disclosures: whenever any trustee, officer, committee member, or employee of the school becomes aware that the school is considering a transaction that potentially creates a conflict of interest, he or she is obligated to notify the board and to disclose all material facts relating to his or her interest in the transaction. The board will determine if an actual conflict of interest exists and take action that the board deems appropriate. The interested person may not be present when the board makes its determination other than to answer questions. If no conflict of interest is found to exist, the minutes of the meetings must record the basis of the board's determination. Withdrawal and abstention: if the board determines that a transaction would create a conflict of interest, the transaction must be approved in advance by only those board members who do not have a conflict with respect to the transaction. Any interested person therefore must recuse him- or herself from consideration of the transaction. He or she furthermore may not be present during any discussion of the transaction other than to answer questions. Interested persons, however, may be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum exists at the meeting even though they are temporarily absent while the transaction is considered. Acknowledgement and annual statements: each trustee, officer, member of a committee of the board, and key employee must sign annually a statement affirming that such person: (a) has received a copy of this conflict of interest and disclosure policy, (b) has read and understands this policy, and (c) has agreed to comply with this policy. Each trustee, officer, member of a committee of the board, and key employees additionally must complete and submit to the secretary a disclosure statement naming the entities conducting business with the school in which he, she, or family member is a director, trustee, officer, committee member, or employee or has a material financial interest. The secretary will review the information and periodically distribute reports to all trustees.”

“Our mission serves children: we ignite curiosity for the world and for learning. We instill confidence to advocate for themselves and others. We inspire courage to lead in service to our community, world, and future. Our community offers each member a welcome place to unite knowledge with goodness. A place in the classroom: our rich and rigorous curriculum develops confident learners who are both independent and collaborative. We create a safe environment for intellectual discourse through which students learn to trust their minds, find their voices, and pursue their ambitions. A place at the table: we intentionally embrace diversity, inclusion, and equity - every person has a place at the table and every voice is valued. Through our episcopalian traditions, we welcome people of all faiths and beliefs into a community where god and human spirituality are contemplated in the development of the whole self. A place in the world: our ethical underpinning guides our children in nurturing their social consciousness and their ability to face challenges with grace, courage, and resilience. We plant the seeds for a life of fulfillment and gratitude in which each child embodies a willingness to serve a greater purpose. Varied educational approaches and techniques to help stimulate independent thinking - to free the children to question, challenge, explore, pursue truth wherever it leads. We encourage them to express their imagination and creative powers, in science and mathematics as well as in words, music, and art. Interdisciplinary teaching allows content from one subject area to reinforce another and open up fresh insights. Above all, st. Luke's seeks to awaken in children a lifelong love of learning, a sense of joy and wonder at god's universe, and a deep feeling of connection to the natural world. We hope that whatever they go on to do and be, we will have prepared them to be good stewards of the world's resources - responsible, caring members of one global human community.”
