“In connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the trustees, directors and members of the committees with governing board designated powers considering the proposed transactions or agreement. After disclosure of the interest and facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she will leave the board or committee meeting. The remaining members shall discuss and decide if a conflict of interest exists. Procedures for addressing conflicts of interest: an interest person may make a presentation at the governing board or committee meeting but after the presentation he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. The chair of the board or committee shall, if appropriate appoint a disinterested person or committee to determine whether the school can obtain with reasonable effort a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible, the governing board or committee shall determine by majority vote of the disinterested members whether the transaction or arrangement is in the school's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination, it shall make its decision as to whether or not it shall enter into the transaction or arrangement.”

“To determine the head of school compensation, the executive committee shall give to the board of trustees a summary sheet including background information and relevant market data, and a salary recommendation for discussion and approval by the board.

The full board shall discuss the recommendation and vote to approve the motion, amended as necessary. Compensation for officers and key employees other than the head of school, is determined using an annual base cost of living adjustment as determined by the board of trustees, plus any increases due to changes in responsibilities.”
