Governance Explanations
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 3:
“The board of trustees of the school has entered into an agreement ("the agreement") with national heritage academies, inc. ("nha") for the provision of all educational, management and business services related to the operation of the school. The agreement was submitted and approved by the board of trustees of the state university of new york as part of the chartering process. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, nha receives all revenue allocated to the school as its management fee, from which it provides its comprehensive educational management services as specified in the agreement and required under the school's charter (i.e., all of the operating costs of the school identified in the budget approved by the school's board). The functional expenses reported in part ix are the expenses paid from the funds remitted under the nha management agreement. In the event expenses exceed revenues, nha covers the shortfall with an in-kind contribution. This agreement has been approved by the board of trustees of the state university of new york during the school's charter process as well as the internal revenue service during the school's exemption application process.”
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 11B:
“A draft copy of the form 990 was provided to the board of trustees in a package of materials for board review prior to the scheduled board meeting that was held before the filing of this return.”
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 12C:
“The school's bylaws require that any trustee, officer, key employee or committee member who has a conflict of interest must promptly notify the board of the conflict and the conflict will be duly noted in the board of trustee meeting minutes. The person with the conflict will be excluded from future decision making on this issue. The board may take formal, corrective and disciplinary actions if proper disclosure of conflicts of interest are not made.”
FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 19:
“Documents approved by the board of trustees, including the school's audited financial statements, are available to the public upon request.”

Financial Statement Notes
SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2:
“The school has evaluated its position regarding the accounting for uncertain income tax positions and does not believe it has any material uncertain tax positions. The school recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if the positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are recorded at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances and other information available at the reporting date and is subject to management's judgment. Changes in the recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.”
