Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B

“The school has no committees that can act on behalf of the board.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The form 990 is prepared by the organization's outside public accounting firm based on information provided by management. Once a draft of the return is available, it is reviewed by management with any changes or revisions incorporated into the filing. The revised return is then submitted to the board of directors for their review and approval prior to submitting to the irs.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Perseverance prep's conflict of interest policy, potential conflicts of interest will be disclosed upfront, and perseverance prep will not enter into contracts where there is a conflict of interest. Perseverance prep board members and executive team go through conflict of interest training on an annual basis. They ensure each board member understands their roles and responsibilities should a conflict or even a perceived conflict exist they are to recuse themselves from the conversation entirely and to return once the vote has been completed. Each board member, following the training, signs their conflict of interest and the board, secretary keeps those on file.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The executive director's pay is determined based on data provided by external charter management organizations and through comparison studies of other charter schools. The board must vote to approve the executive director's compensation as a direct action. The officers and key employees' pay is determined based on data provided by external charter management organizations and through comparison studies of other charter schools. The board must vote to approve the officers and key employees' compensation as a direct action. The discussion and compensation decision is documented contemporaneously.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization makes their governing documents available upon request.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The school is a nonprofit entity exempt from the payment of income taxes under internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) and california revenue and taxation code section 23701d. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. Management has determined that all income tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon potential audit or examination; therefore, no disclosures of uncertain income tax positions are required. The school is subject to income tax on net income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to the exempt purposes. The school files an exempt school return and applicable unrelated business income tax return in the u.s. Federal jursidiction and with the california franchise tax board.”
