“There are no committees with authority to act on behalf of the board.”

“The 990 is reviewed by select members of the finance committee, and is made available for review by all board members during a second scheduled board meeting. Board members are given the opportunity to ask questions or comment on the content of the form and such comments and questions are captured in the board minutes.”

“Monitoring is performed regularly by the officers to identify potential conflicts of interest. The board or designated committee reviews any conflicts presented by interested parties. The chairperson appoints a disinterested person or committee to investigate the transaction in question and report findings to the board. Alternatives to the proposed transaction are identified and compared to the proposed transaction. The board votes on the most beneficial option for the organization. If the board has reason to believe an interest person has failed to disclose the potential conflict, the board will investigate further and if necessary, take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”

“The executive committee of the board of trustees negotiates the employment contract with the board chair, head of school, or director of finance and operations. They benchmark lead administrators salaries to the 25th percentile of those in similar roles at their peer schools in san francisco. If a person is new to the lead admin role, they generally start that person's salary slightly below the 25th percentile and they generally try to index that salary to that 25th percentile by the individuals third year in the role. To do this, they use anonymized data found on the annual isboa survey, which gives a percentile range for each position. This peer data is composed of sand francisco tk-8 independent schools. The head of school and director of finance and operations work through each salary separately, and then adjust salaries relative to the general percentage increase authorized by the board and the isboa compensation data. They keep some notes but do not document all conversations about the salary increases. They go through this process annually, and the head of school's salary is negotiated separately by the executive committee of the board. The executive committee is provided the current salary compensation data from the isboa survey.”

“All documents are available upon request to the board chair, head of school, or director of finance and operations.”
