Form 990, Header, Line BThe 2019 Form 990 for Tree of Life School is being amended to correctly report other salaries and wages of $263,358 on Part IX Line 7 'Other salaries and wages' rather than as previously reported on Part IX Line 6 'Compensation not included above to disqualified persons...'
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2Adam Sterenberg, President, is the son of James Sterenberg, Treasurer
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11bA copy of the draft Form 990 (excluding Schedule B) is provided to each Board Member before the Board approves the return. The Form 990 Schedule B is reviewed by the Treasurer only, who is also the bookkeeper, in order to maintain confidentiality of donors. Board Members are given opportunity to make inquires of the Treasurer and the CPA who prepared the return before the return is filed.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cThe Organization has a conflict of interest policy prohibiting Board of Directors with a financial interest in any proposed action from participating in the discussion and voting on the proposed action. Annually the Board members orally report their potential conflicts of interest to the Board and subsequent changes, if any, as necessary. Major expenditures and vendor arrangements are communicated to the Board of Directors at its monthly meetings.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15The President, who is also the principal and administrator of Tree Of Life School, is the only officer receiving compensation. His compensation is determined by the independent Board Members and it is considered by the Board to be substantially below market value in comparison to other principles of similar schools in the community.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19The Organization makes its organizational documents, policy manual including its conflict of interest policy and financial statements available for public inspection at its offices. Its articles of incorporation and bylaws are also available for public inspection on the State of Michigan website.
