“Expenses related to the amount paid to Connections Academy of Maine, LLC can be seen on 990 Part IX Lines 7, 9, 10, and 24a as payroll, payroll benefits, payroll taxes, and Education Services Provider expenses.”
“Directors shall be elected annually by the stakeholders employees and parents/guardians of Maine Connections Academy in an open election that shall be publicly announced and facilitated by technology, such that each stakeholder, regardless of where she or he resides in Maine, will have the opportunity to vote. Guardians/parents will have one vote for each child currently enrolled in the school. The method of election will ensure that no stakeholder may have more votes than she or he is entitled to per election.”
“Oversight of the audit and selection of the auditor is the responsibility of the Board.”
“The organization contracts with Connections Academy of Maine, LLC to employ individuals to operate the school.”
“Under the oversight of the Governing Board, Connections Academy of Maine, LLC provides human resources and support services integral to the delivery of the Education Program, including recruiting, training, monitoring, and supporting Charter School staff and other support service providers employed or otherwise engaged by the Charter School, and supporting the performance evaluation process for such personnel payroll and benefits administration, including providing employee benefit plans as required by law.”
“Payroll and related expenses reported on these lines are paid to Connections Academy of Maine, LLC and are not paid directly to employees by Maine Connections Academy. Refer to 990 Part VII Section B Line 1.”
“The Academy is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501c3 of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law. The accounting standards on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes address the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, the Academy may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Academy and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from a tax position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management believes that there were no potential sources of unrelated business taxable income subject to tax for the year ended June 30, 2021. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made. The Academy files its forms 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the office of the states attorney general for the State of Maine. The Academy is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2018.”

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | The Academy is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501c3 of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law. The accounting standards on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes address the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, the Academy may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Academy and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from a tax position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management believes that there were no potential sources of unrelated business taxable income subject to tax for the year ended June 30, 2021. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made. The Academy files its forms 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the office of the states attorney general for the State of Maine. The Academy is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2018. |
