        <ExplanationTxt>Income Taxes The Charter School is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501c(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state income tax laws. The Charter School is not a private foundation and contributions to the Charter School qualify as a charitable tax deduction by the contributor. The Charter School has been evaluated for uncertain tax positions. Management has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2016. The Charter School's tax returns are subject to possible examination by the taxing authorities. For federal tax purposes the tax returns essentially remain open for possible examination for a period of three years after the date on which those returns are filed. The Charter School believes it is no longer subject to federal and state income tax examinations for the years prior to 2012. During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Charter School has not incurred any interest or penalties on its tax returns.</ExplanationTxt>
