“Related board members: per mn statute 124e.07, charter schools are required to have a licensed teacher as a member of the board of directors. Emily johnson and erika finanger are board members, but received compensation for their services as teachers.”
“Pension liabilities, deferred outflows & inflows pension: as a charter school in the state of minnesota, participation in two multiple-employer, cost-sharing defined benefit pension plans is statutorily required. The school's contributions to the plans are also regulated by statute and are based on a percentage of salaries and wages earned by current employees. Therefore, while the net pension liability, deferred outflows and inflows, are reported on the school's statement of net position, the school is not in a position to directly control the liabilities or the subsequent liquidation of the liabilities.”
“Pension liability adjustment -290,352.”
“The annual financial statements are completed by the independent audit firm that was selected by the board of directors. There is no change from prior year.”

The academy has determined there are not amounts to record as assets or liabilities related to uncertain tax positions.”
“PENSION INCOME 10,052.”
“Pension expenses 300,404.”
