Mission and Program Overview

Mission

To help rural schools and communities grow better together by involving young people in place-based learning linked to community and economic development; conducting research and advocating for appropriate educational policies and equitable funding for rural schools; improving rural access to highly effective educators; and increasing rural capacity to design, implement, and support appropriate innovations.

Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

The audit committee will recommend to the board the approval of the form 990 after its review and then the board will make the decision to approve it and file it with the irs.

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

All board members are required to sign a conflict of interest statement annually. A binder with signed forms is kept in the central office; this binder is reviewed once a year to ensure that it's up to date. If during the review process, if signed forms are found to be missing, the appropriate individuals are contacted and asked to fill and sign the policy form.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

The salary of the executive director has always been determined by the executive committee of the board based on experience, education, salaries paid to other executives with similar positions in similar industry, and other specific characteristics unique to the organization. One of these specific characteristics would be experience in working with rural schools and communities. The executive director salary was last reviewed in 2016. The salary of other key employees is determined by management based on annual reviews.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.
