Part I, Line 1aThe school provides on-campus housing to the head of school. The value of this benefit has been included in Part VII of Form 990 and Schedule J in non-taxable benefits. The school continues to take the position that the facts support exclusion from taxable income. The Head of School's 2009/2010 contract included an $18,000 "discretionary fund" that the Head could use for childcare, personal travel, health club dues, etc. The entire $18,000 was reported as taxable income on the Head of School's W-2. He used some of this money for Health Club fees. Some for personal travel. The rest for childcare. The Board of Trustees decided to take this "discretionary fund" out of his 2010/2011 contract. The Head's contract also includes a cleaning stipend for the residence that the School provides him. The contract indicates that because the Head will be required to periodically use this residence to host school functions/events, the school will pay a cleaning service to keep the house clean. This amount paid directly to a cleaning service is not reflected as taxable income on the Head's W-2.
Part I, Line 4aWayne Taylor received a SERP distribution payment of $49,358.41 when he retired in August 2009. This amount was reflected as taxable income on Wayne's 2009 Form W-2.
