Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B

“There are no committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

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

“The form 990 is prepared by the organization's outside public accounting firm based on information provided by management. Once a draft of the return is available, it is reviewed by management with any changes or revisions incorporated into the filing. The revised return is then submitted to the board of directors for their review and approval prior to submitting to the irs.”

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

“As a public entity, ross valley charter school must have a conflict of interest policy approved by the marin county board. This policy clearly spells out the manner in which designated employees who may have a conflict of interest in a decision must refrain in participating in that decision in any way. If the designated employee is a board member, he or she must leave the room during the discussion and voting on the matter. This is reflected in board minutes. The school director, the board chair, and the treasurer have a joint responsibility to enforce this policy at all times. All designated employees have to annually file a form 700 statement of economic interest with the county elections clerk and the california fair political practices commission and it is a public record.”

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

“The treasurer conducts a review on the compensation package for officers in the geographical area to assess the reasonablness of ross valley's executive compensation package. After performance of due diligence is complete, the treasurer recommends a compensation package to the board of directors; the board then votes on the compensation package for approval.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The information is published under board and governance/policies on the school's website.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The school is a nonprofit entity exempt from the payment of income taxes under internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) and california revenue and taxation code section 23701d. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. Management has determined that all income tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon potential audit or examination; therefore, no disclosures of uncertain income tax positions are required. The school is subject to income tax on net income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to the exempt purposes. The school files and exempt school return and applicable unrelated business income tax return in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction and with the california franchise tax board.”
