Explanation
Form 990, Part VI, Line 4
The Indian Community school did not change its bylaws in fiscal 2012; however, upon review, the School noted that it had made an amendment in fiscal 2011 that should have been disclosed on the prior year Form 990. In the interests of full disclosure, the School is disclosing the amendment on the current Form 990 and attaching a copy of the amended bylaws. Form 990, Part VI, Line 7 Two (2) members of the Board of Directors are elected by parent-electors who are the legal custodians of an enrolled Indian Community School student. A parent-elected director must be the legal custodian of at least one child who will be a continuously enrolled and attending Indian Community School student for each semester of the two (2) year period of the parent-elected director's term. IF A PARENT-ELECTED DIRECTOR FAILS TO BE QUALIFIED, THE PARENT-ELECTED DIRECTOR WILL CEASE TO BE A DIRECTOR. PARENT-ELECTED DIRECTORS SERVE A TERM OF TWO (2) YEARS OR, IF UPON EXPIRATION OF A PARENT-ELECTED DIRECTOR'S TERM, NO QUALIFIED CANDIDATE RUNS IN THE ELECTION, THE PARENT-ELECTED DIRECTOR MAY SERVE ON THE BOARD THROUGH THE LAST BOARD MEETING BEFORE THE START OF THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. THESE TWO (2) MEMBERS ARE "PARENT-ELECTED DIRECTORS" AND ARE LISTED AS SUCH ON THE FORM 990. PARENT-ELECTED DIRECTORS GENERALLY HAVE THE SAME VOTING RIGHTS AS DIRECTORS ELECTED BY THE BOARD ("BOARD-ELECTED DIRECTORS") IN ALL MATTERS OTHER THAN (I) VOTING IN THE ELECTION OF BOARD-ELECTED DIRECTORS IF THE PARENT-ELECTED DIRECTOR HAS SERVED AS A PARENT-ELECTED DIRECTOR FOR LESS THAN THE PREVIOUS CONSECUTIVE 365 DAYS; (II) IF THERE ARE AT LEAST THREE (3) BOARD-ELECTED DIRECTORS IN OFFICE AND THE BOARD-ELECTED DIRECTORS VOTE TO KEEP A VACANT BOARD-ELECTED DIRECTOR SEAT VACANT ("DORMANT SEAT"); OR (III) IF THE BOARD-ELECTED DIRECTORS VOTE TO REACTIVATE A DORMANT SEAT.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11
The organization's final Form 990 including required schedules is distributed to each Board Director electronically for review prior to a monthly meeting held before the required filing date. The organization's final Form 990 including required schedules is distributed to each Board Director in hard copy at an open meeting prior to the required filing date. In addition to the review by management, each Board Director is provided the opportunity to review the return prior to filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12
The organization's Conflict of Interest Policy requires each individual to review the policy and complete a disclosure statement on an annual basis. In addition, each individual is required throughout the year to make disclosures before the board considers a matter in which the individual may have a conflict of interest. Following an individual's disclosure of an actual or potential conflict of interest, the Board of Directors shall determine whether a conflict of interest exists and, if so, shall determine the proper course of action to address the conflict of interest. The proper course of action generally shall include abstention from any future vote on the matter by the individual with the conflict. Additionally, the individual will provide any information requested by the Board of Directors with respect to the conflict of interest, may be asked to leave the room during any future discussions and votes of the matter and shall abstain from any vote. Discovery of potential and actual conflicts after a transaction has occurred will be reported to the Board of Directors to determine the proper manner in which to address any potential or actual conflict.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15
Compensation for the organization's COO and Principal was established after extensive searches and examination of other comparable positions. The Board's deliberation and decisions were approved and documented contemporaneously. A compensation study was conducted for the organization's Board of Directors in which data was collected from multiple sources, including Internal Revenue Service Form 990 for a group of tax exempt operating organizations, publicly available data from proxy information statements and consideration given regarding similarities in scope and scale, services, time commtiments, stakeholders and professional training and experience.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19
The School makes its Form 990 available to the public by retaining a copy at its place of business. The School's Form 990, Form 1023, financial statements, governing documents and conflict of interest policy are all posted on the organization's website at www.ics-milw.org.
Part VII - Board of Director Compensation
In arriving at these compensation figures, the School relied upon an independent compensation comparability study completed by an independent compensation analyst. This study was completed in 2010.
Reconciliation of Net Assets

Net unrealized gains on investments (143,306) Unrealized gain on interest rate swap (4,786,152) change in value of the ICS surpport organization (14,776,365) Investment assets transferred to related organization 396,266,775 ------------ Total 376,560,951 ============
Schedule K, Part II, Column A
The primary project financed with the bonds was placed in service on August 9, 2007. However, resolution of certain errors and omissions in construction and design, necessary to the project's proper functionality are on-going and, there is pending litigation regarding the amount of total compensation due the architect on the project. A portion of the proceeds of the bonds and investment earnings that remains unspent has since been applied to such project costs and the remaining portion will either be used for such project costs or be used to redeem bonds. Because the primary project financed with the bonds has been placed in service, Schedule K reflects a "project period" ended on the placed-in-service date, and the "total proceeds of the issue" on Line 1 is limited to the sale proceeds and investment proceeds through the end of that project period. Additional investment proceeds after the project period will be applied as described in the preceding paragraph. The working capital expenditures on Line 9 comprise interest on the bonds, builder's risk insurance and a rating agency surveillance fee. Schedule K, Part II, Column B The working capital expenditures from proceeds comprise interest on the bonds and expenses of earnings investment proceeds. The remaining proceeds of the issue were used to redeem a prior issue of tax-exempt bonds, including paying interest on the refunded bonds, within 90 days of the issue date.
