Governance Explanations

The organization does not have 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

Monitoring is performed regurarly by the officers to identify potential conflicts of interest. Any questions of a conflict is addressed with the interested person, who is required to disclosed the existence of any financial interest and be afforded the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the board and executive director. If a conflict of interest is identified, the appropriate action is taken, including limitations to the individual's influence on related business matters.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

The compensation review and approval process for the executive director is performed during a board meeting in a closed session when the director is asked to leave. The executive director's pay in determined based on data provided by external charter management organizations and through comparison studies of other charter schools. Board members do not receive compensation, however, if they were to receive compensation, a closed session would take place for the review and approval process regarding their compensation. This evaluation is performed annually, and is compared to salaries from charter schools in a similar siza and region.

Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

The process has not changed from the prior year.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization is a non-profit 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 organization files an exempt return and applicable unrelated business income tax return in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction and with the california franchise tax board.
