| 990 Page 11, Part XI, Line 2C: | The financial statements are prepared by an independent accounting firm. The statements are reviewed and approved by the board before being issued. This process was the same as last year. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 1B: | Several members of the board are teachers at the school. Minnesota State statute 124D.10 subd.4(g) requires the board to have at least one member that is an employed/contracted teacher. |
| Form 990, Part XI,LINE 9-Change in Accounting Principle: | During the year ended June 30, 2015, the School implemented GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions-an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27. GASB Statement No. 68 included major changes in how employers account for pension benefit expenses and liabilities. In financial statements prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting (government-wide and proprietary funds), an employer is required to recognize a liability for its share of the net pension liability provided through the pension plan. An employer is required to recognize pension expense and report deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources for its share related to pensions. This standard required retroactive implementation, which resulted in the restatement of net position as of June 30 2014. The net position of governmental activities in the government-wide statements as of June 30, 2014 was decreased by $858,331. This change reflects the School's proportionate share of the net pension liabilities ($918,083 decrease in net position) and related deferred outflows of resources ($59,752 increase in net position) for the PERA and TRA pension plans, which are now reported by employers under current guidance. Certain amounts necessary to fully restate fiscal year 2014 financial information are not determinable; therefore, prior year comparative amounts have not been restated. |
| Authorizer | The School is required to have an Authorizer to monitor its operations in order to maintain its charter. The School's approved Authorizer during the fiscal year 2015 was the Novation Education Opportunities. |
| RELATED ORGANIZATION COMPENSATION: | Made an effort to obtain information on compensation, if any, was paid from a related organization. No response received and no transactions noted. |
| Form 990, Part VII. Section A, Line 9 | Jackie Paradis is paid by an unrelated organization for her services provided to the School. These payments are not directly tied to the School and as such are not included on the Schedule J. |
