Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4

The by-laws were updated for references to the new code of ethics that were adopted and removed from the by-laws in feb 2019.

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

The draft of form 990 is reviewed by the coo and head of the school. The board approves form 990 which is then signed by the board designee.

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

Annually board members, officers, and employees disclose any conflicts of interest. The code of ethics describes the organization's procedures and is provided to all trustees, officers, and employees of the school upon their employement or association with the school. In addition board members shall disclose to the board their interest, with respect to a transaction the board is considering and senior staff shall disclose any interest to the executive director. Any senior staff or board member with interests shall recuse themselves from the decision-making process. The nature of the interest and the individual's recusal, or the chair's determination not to require recusal, shall be memorialized in writing. In no event shall board members vote on transactions in which they have a financial interest. In addition, the board expects board members and senior staff to disclose close friendships with (a) any person with whom vertus is considering a transaction, and (b) any person who has a significant position in an entity with which vertus is considering a transaction.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

The school seeks to ensure that compensation is reasonable and represents the fair market value for services rendered. Comparable data is used by the board when determining the compensation of officers and key employees. The school sets compensation within the range of the going market rate. No individual having a conflict of interest under the school's conflict of interest policy is permitted to participate in the review or decision making process.

The tax returns for the years ended june 30, 2016 through june 30, 2019 are still subject to potential audit by the irs.
