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

Ala relies upon local public school district data to determine reasonable compensation for all employees. For example, if a teacher lives in lexington county, the salary schedule for lexington county is utilized to offer a competitive salary. Further, compensation for administrative staff is determined by the school leader and board and is based upon the individual's role, responsibilities, education level, and applicable experience. Lastly, the school leader's compensation is based on annual evaluation reviewed by the board of directors, which includes five areas of performance: financial, public relatins and marketing, compliance, standardized test scores, professional integrity, and communication. All decisions are documented, and changes are included in each employee's file.

The audited financial statements (afs) are prepared based on governmental fund accounting basis (i.e. Regulatory accounting principles). As a result, certain items of expense on the afs are not included as an expense on form 990 such as principal debt payments and capital outlays for fixed assets, etc. The adjustments provided in part xi and part xii have been made to present the statement of revenue and statement of functional expense on form 990 in a manner consistent with the accrual basis of accounting under generally accepted accounting principles (gaap).
