“The Board of Directors receives a copy of the tax return and any questions regarding the return are directed to the CPA who prepares the return. All questions are answered prior to filing Form 990.”

The board then discusses whether different situations give rise to the level of creating a conflict of interest which would require recusal of board members from discussions or decisions as per the conflict of interest policy.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

“The executive director's compensation is reviewed and adjusted by the Board of Directors. Before determining any salary adjustment the board considers experience with the organization, background and other professional experience. The board also utilized salary surveys to obtain the median salaries for education nonprofit executive directors in the area and nationally and reviewed various other nonprofit organization's compensation via various websites available.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“Governing documents, conflict of interest statements and finanical statements are available for public inspection upon request being made to the Organization.”
