Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The School is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code except to the extent it has unrelated business income. The School had no unrelated business income for the years ended August 31, 2025. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income tax.GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Schools tax returns and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the School has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the School, and has concluded that as of August 31, 2025, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.”

IRS990/Desc0We have two districts and/or campuses that are co-located in the same building. One is a pre-k-4th grade campus and the other is a pre-k-8th grade campus. We serve approximately 262 students between the two schools. Our primary programs include academic instruction for students driven by the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), which are mandated by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). We have curriculum offerings for general education students and students in special populations i.e., special education students, and second language learners. We offer robotics, athletics, and various clubs as enrichment opportunities for our students. We have an honors program for our high performing students in the area of mathematics for students in 6th-8th grades. Finally, students who are in 7th and 8th grades are provided opportunities to receive high school credit through the Edgenuity platform offered in our computer lab.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The School is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code except to the extent it has unrelated business income. The School had no unrelated business income for the years ended August 31, 2025. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income tax.GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Schools tax returns and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the School has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the School, and has concluded that as of August 31, 2025, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
