Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 8A

“The school did not utilize committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

Pt VI, Line 11B

“The form 990 was prepared by an independent cpa as part of the audit engagement, reviewed by mangement, and approved by the board of directors. Once approved, a member of the board of directors signs the form 990 and it is mailed to the irs.”

Pt VI, Line 19

“The schools annual audit is submitted to the arizona state board for charter schools and therefore subject to public record. All other documents are available upon request.”

Financial Statement Notes

Pt X, Line 2

“Management believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken affecting its annual filing requirements, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. The School would recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and liabilities in income tax expense if such interest and penalties are incurred.”
