“Ben franklin academy (bfa) adheres to the required written conflict of interest standard for accreditation by sacs/sais. The organization's officers, directors, trustees, & key employees disclose to bfa substancial business affiliations & transactions that might conflict with business decisions made by the school. Conflicts of interest have been avoided by ensuring that major vendors, contractors, or other new businesses submit bids, including prices & rates, prior to rendering services/products, for evaluation by the business office & comparison to competitive quotes. Part of this procees involves checking for possible conflicts of interest with officers, directors, trustees & key employees.”
“The executive committee, minus the ceo, reviews the salary scales provided by the georgia independent schools association (and local public school districts as may be available), reviews the needs & budget of bfa, as well as the economic environment, to determine the amount of compensation for the ceo (headmaster). The compensation of the ceo is approved within the annual budget by the board of directors, which is discussed & documented in the minutes of bfa.”
“Salary determination of the secretary/treasurer (dean of studies) & other key employees is determined by the executive committee, with the same parameters as the salary determination of the ceo & at the time the annual budget is prepared for approval by the board.”
