Governance Explanations

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 11B

The electronic version of the return is provided to the board for their review prior to submitting to the irs.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 12C

Any conflicts of interest are reviewed and addressed at the annual board meeting.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 15A

Periodically the job descriptions and compensation of personnel are reviewed by the human resource department of academy district 20 and found to be in line with people they would hire at comparable levels of education, experience, and responsibility. If discrepancies are found, a process to address the issue within the yearly job perforance and pay increase cycle is used. The district 20 scale is used as a separate, but validly analogous scale of competitive pay because they study the topic of "contemporaneous substantiation" every year so they can attract and retain the best people in the state. We consider the ceo to be a level of responsibility somewhere between a middle school assistant principal and principal. The exact pay is approved by the board of directors after careful consideration of comparable compensation rates and level of performance of the individual.

Form 990, Page 6, Part VI, Line 19

The organization makes all governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request and listed on the charitable registration form with the colorado secretary of state.
