        <ReturnReference>Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The School adopted the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes (FASB ASC Topic 740-10), 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% 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. Management evaluated the School's tax positions and concluded that the School had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. The School files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. With few exceptions, the School is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for years before 2007.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Schedule I, Part I, Line 2: Students apply for the Cesar Chavez Scholarship, the Irasema Salcido Scholarship, the Principal's Award, and the Frederick Douglas Scholarship. To apply, students submit their transcript, write an essay, submit their FAFSA, and a college acceptance letter. A committee consisting of the Principal, Vice-Principal, Academic Dean, and Teacher Representative make the final decision. For the Thesis Scholarship, all seniors are eligible (since all are required to write a public policy thesis). The Public policy Department chooses the best 10 thesis. They are then given to a committee of teachers who volunteer for the task and that committee chooses the best thesis by consensus.</Explanation>
