Heritage Academy Charter Schools Inc.

“The organization is structured to have members who elect annually the board of directors. Since inception to date, the organization has had a single member and the same person as the single member.”

“The board of directors fills vacancies to serve until the unexpired term, that is, until the next annual meeting of the member(s). Historically, the board has "approved" by vote the member's election of directors and the member has approved the director(s) that were elected by the board to fill vacancies in the interim. In practice, the board has in effect elected its directors. The board, not the member(s), determines the number of directors, but not less than three.”

“A copy of form 990 is provided to the current board members prior to filing. They are not asked to review the 990, only to acknowledge receipt. Relevant members of the entity's management review the 990 before submission to the irs.”

“The institute operates two charter school districts. The ceo of the institute serves as superintendent of both districts. Her compensation was reviewed by the institute's directors, who are independent of the superintendent, and approved by them in deliberation and a vote in which the superintendent is not present or participates. Salaries of superintendents of public schools (including charter schools) and executive directors of similar non-profit organizations are considered. The deliberation and vote is noted in the minutes of the directors.”

“The charter school provides governing documents, policies, and financial statements upon request.”
