RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Pt VI, Line 11b The Educator Collective (TEC) distributes its completed Form 990 to the Board of Directors for review and comment prior to filing with the IRS. Pt VI, Line 12c Board members of TEC are notified of the Conflict of Interest policy through distribution and ready access to the organization's bylaws. If questions arise as to whether certain circumstances or events are conflicts of interest, these would be discussed openly at board meetings. If there were circumstances that warranted, notice would be appropriately noted and documented and approved/disapproved at the same board meeting in accordance with the bylaws. Pt VI, Line 15a The Chairman of the Board of TEC determines a "market rate" for the Executive Director by looking at compensation of similarly-sized organizations and the Board of Directors approves the final, negotiated amount. Pt VI, Line 19 TEC makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request. Pt VI, Line 4 TEC made signficant changes to its bylaws, adopted March 1, 2021. These significant changes include: 1. The number of Directors was changed from no less than three nor more than seven to no less than three. 2. The number of officers is decreased from five (Chairman, President, Vice Chairman, Secretary, and Treasurer) to two required with more as may be deemed necessary by the Board (Executive Director and Secretary required; one or more Vice-Presidents, Treasurer and such other officers and assistant officers as may be deemed necessary by the Board). 3. A dedication of assets article was added to the amended bylaws providing for the distribution of any remaining assets upon dissolution of the organization to be distributed to a 501(c)(3) organization or the federal, state, or local government for a public purpose. 4. The provision for Amendment of Bylaws was clarified in the updated bylaws - previously it stated that "The Bylaws may be altered, amended, or repealed, and new Bylaws may be adopted by the Board of Directors" Now it states, "The Bylaws of the Corporation may be adopted, amended or repealed in whole or in part by a majority vote of the Board, unless such Bylaw is required by the TBOC." 5. The Conflict of Interest policy was expanded beyond addressing loans to and from the organization to include the following: "If any matter is presented to the Board or a committee of the Board in which an officer or Director has a direct or indirect financial interest, such interest and the material facts thereof must be fully disclosed to the Board or a committee of the Board before the Board or a committee of the Board takes action on such matter. No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its Directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of its Directors or officers are directors or officers or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for such reason, or solely because the Director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board or a committee of the Board which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because her or his or their votes are counted for such purpose, provided that: (a) the material facts as to the relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board or a committee of the Board and the Board or a committee of the Board in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested Directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present even though the disinterested Directors are less than a quorum; or (b) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board or a committee of the Board. Common or interested Directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board or a committee of the Board which authorizes a contract or transaction specified above."
