Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The novato charter school is an educational community that is committed to the healthy growth and development of the whole child. Through a curriculum inspired by waldorf-methods, our teachers nurture through the imagination in the early years, building a foundation for abstract thinking, gradually and appropriately challenging the intellect throughout the grades. This philosophy places equal emphasis on a solid academic program, artistic expression, social development and attention to the inner life and natural rhythms of the child.

Governance Explanations

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B

The 990 return is initially reviewed by management and then reviewed by the board prior to filing the return.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C

In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material fact, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the board of directors meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15A

The process includes all of these elements: (1) review and approval by the board (2) use of data as to comparable compensation; and (3) contemporaneous documentation and recordkeeping.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 19

The school provides its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements to the public upon request.

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

The school 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 school files informational returns in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction, and the state of california. The statute of limitations for federal and california state purposes is generally three and four years, respectively.
