“The board has not changed its process for selecting the independent auditor nor have they changed the oversight of the audit from prior years.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The charter school is a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and applicable state regulations and, accordingly, is exempt from federal and state taxes on income. The charter school files form 990 tax returns in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction. The charter school's current and prior three years tax returns remain subject to review by taxing authorities. Management of the charter school believes it has no material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly it has not recognized any liability for unrecognized tax benefits.”
