UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC, THE SCHOOL IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL TAXES ON INCOME OTHER THAN UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. THE SCHOOL DID NOT HAVE ANY NET UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 AND 2011. THE SCHOOL ADOPTED THE ACCOUNTING STANDARD ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES, WHICH ADDRESSES THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER TAX BENEFITS CLAIMED OR EXPECTED TO BE CLAIMED ON A TAX RETURN SHOULD BE RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. UNDER THIS GUIDANCE, THE SCHOOL MAY RECOGNIZE THE TAX BENEFIT FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION ONLY IF IT IS MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THAT THE TAX POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED ON EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. THE TAX BENEFITS RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FROM SUCH A POSITION ARE MEASURED BASED ON THE LARGEST BENEFIT THAT HAS A GREATER THAN 50 PERCENT LIKELIHOOD OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT. THE GUIDANCE ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES ALSO ADDRESSES DE-RECOGNITION, CLASSIFICATION, INTEREST AND PENALTIES ON INCOME TAXES, AND ACCOUNTING IN INTERIM PERIODS. THE SCHOOL HAD NO SUCH POSITIONS RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT JUNE 30, 2012 AND 2011. GENERALLY, THE SCHOOL IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX POSITIONS BY TAX AUTHORITIES FOR YEARS BEFORE 2009.

EXPLANATION OF GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SCHEDULE E, PART I, LINE 6 CENTER CITY PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOLS WAS ORGANIZED FOR THE PURPOSE OF OPERATING A PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL FOR EDUCATIONALLY UNDERSERVED CHILDREN RESIDING IN WASHINGTON, D.C. CENTER CITY PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOLS RECEIVES A STUDENT ALLOCATION FROM THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA TO COVER THE COST OF ACADEMIC AND FACILITIES EXPENSES.

EACH OF THE NEW SCHOOLS WAS NAMED FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN WHICH IT IS LOCATED. THIS APPROACH WAS IMPORTANT TO FOSTERING MEANINGFUL PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND SYNERGY WITH EACH COMMUNITY. THE LEADERSHIP RESPONDED IMMEDIATELY TO AN EXTREMELY URGENT NEED TO BEGIN IMPROVING THE MATH AND LANGUAGE ARTS PROFICIENCY OF THE STUDENTS. AN ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND INTERVENTION PROGRAM, STAFFED BY INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES, LANGUAGE EDUCATION AND SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS AND COUNSELORS WAS INITIATED. TO PRECISELY TRACK PROGRESS IN ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE ON A TIMELY BASIS, A PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM WAS PUT INTO PLACE AND ASSIGNED TO THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL OF EACH SCHOOL. CHANGES IN THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE SCHOOL, INDIVIDUAL CLASSES AND TEACHERS AND THE STUDENTS THEMSELVES WERE MONITORED, ANALYZED AND ACTED UPON QUICKLY. FACILITIES WERE MADE MORE FUNCTIONAL, WITH AIR CONDITIONING INSTALLED IN ALL OF THE SCHOOLS AND CRITICAL RENOVATIONS COMPLETED IN SEVERAL BUILDINGS. TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES WERE UPGRADED WITH THE INSTALLATION OF FIBER OPTIC CABLE ON ALL OF THE CAMPUSES AND AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF COMPUTERS FROM AN AVERAGE OF 25 TO AN AVERAGE OF 150 PER SCHOOL, EACH OF WHICH ENROLLED ABOUT 250 STUDENTS. ALL OF THESE EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES REQUIRED FUNDING BEYOND THE STANDARD ALLOTMENTS PROVIDED BY THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. BOARD MEMBERS TOOK ON THIS CHALLENGE, RAISING PRIVATE FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE IMPROVEMENTS. THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING WAS A PREREQUISITE TO THE INITIATION OF THE PROGRAMS AND IMPROVEMENTS THAT THE STUDENTS NEEDED. ALL OF THE ELEMENTS OF THIS EFFORT HAVE PROVEN TO BE SUCCESSFUL WITH PROGRESS OCCURRING MUCH FASTER THAN AVERAGE. CENTER CITY PCS'S GROWTH AND ACHIEVEMENT HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE DC OFFICE OF THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION (OSSE) AND THE DC PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL BOARD (DCPCSB) AND HAVE ALSO BEEN DOCUMENTED THROUGH SEVERAL EXTERNAL ASSESSMENTS. THE MOST RECENT DC CAS RESULTS, RELEASED IN JULY, 2012, SHOWED THAT CENTER CITY'S CAMPUSES ARE CONTINUING TO MAKE PROGRESS. THIS IS THE CONTINUATION OF UPWARD TREND. IN 2011, FIVE CENTER CITY SCHOOLS IMPROVED IN MATH PROFICIENCY AND FOUR HAD IMPROVED IN READING PROFICIENCY FROM 2009 TO 2011. FIVE CCPCS SCHOOLS RANKED IN THE TOP 25% OF DC PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN MATH IMPROVEMENT AND FOUR IN THE TOP 25% IN READING IMPROVEMENT. TWO OF THE SIX CCPCS CAMPUSES HAVE ACHIEVED THE HIGHEST RANKING FROM THE DCPCSB, THAT OF TIER 1 HIGH PERFORMING AND THE OTHER FOUR HAVE RISEN TO TIER 2 STATUS. SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING HAS BEEN CRITICAL TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE PROGRAMS AND THEIR POSITIVE OUTCOMES. FOR THE NEXT TWO ACADEMIC YEARS, THIS PRIVATE FUNDING WILL BE NECESSARY TO SUSTAIN THE PROGRAMS IN ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT AND INTERVENTION. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS MISSION, CCPCS HAS LAUNCHED A RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM TO ATTRACT PRIVATE FUNDING FROM FOUNDATIONS, CORPORATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS. MOST OF THESE FUNDS WILL SUPPORT THE EXTENDED LEARNING PROGRAM, THROUGH WHICH STUDENTS RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL 12 HOURS OF ACADEMIC SUPPORT EACH WEEK AND 480 HOURS EACH ACADEMIC YEAR. THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THE INDIVIDUAL AND SPECIAL NEEDS OF EACH STUDENT. BECAUSE OF THE UNUSUALLY LARGE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS WHO NEED TO LEARN ENGLISH, SIGNIFICANT FUNDING WILL BE DIRECTED TO THE ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE PROGRAM. THIS INITIATIVE IS TRULY INDISPENSABLE BECAUSE IT IS A NECESSARY FIRST STEP FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE NOT YET MASTERED THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. IN ADDITION, PROGRAMS FOR THE PARENTS OF THESE STUDENTS HELP ASSURE CONTINUITY IN LEARNING ENGLISH IN BOTH THE CLASSROOM AND AT HOME. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11 THE CEO REVIEWS THE COPY OF THE 990 WITH THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCE/CONTROLLER.
