Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11Finance committee will review 990 and report to governing body on their review and approval.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cIt is imperative that HLA, both in reality and in perception, be deemed to operate solely in the best interests of the students it serves. Any taint to its reputation will significantly impact on the mission of HLA. Employees of HLA must be ever mindful of the need to conduct themselves both in and outside of HLA in a manner that will not bring criticism to themselves or to HLA. Employees have an obligation to conduct their affairs within guidelines that prohibit actual or potential conflicts of interest. Actual or potential conflicts of interest occurs when an employee is in a position to influence a decision that may result in a personal gain for him or her, for a relative or for anyone else who has a close personal relationship with the employee as a result of HLA business dealings. For the purpose of this policy, a relative or a person with a close personal relationship is any person who is related by blood or marriage, or whose relationship with the employee is similar to that of persons who are related by blood or marriage. No "presumption of guilt" is created by the mere existence of a relationship with an outside firm or vendor. However, if an employee has any influence on transactions involving purchases, contracts, or supplies it is imperative that he or she disclose that relationship to the Principal immediately so that safeguards can be established to protect all parties. Common conflicts which employees should avoid include, but are not limited to: a) Using proprietary or confidential information for personal gain or to HLA's detriment; b) Directly or indirectly accepting gifts, loans, services, entertainment, etc. of more than a minimal value from a vendor or someone seeking to do business with HLA (as noted elsewhere); c) Using HLA's assets or labor for personal use; and d) Instances where an employee or an employee's relative or someone with a close personal relationship has a significant ownership in the vendor or firm with which HLA does business. If HLA finds that any employee has engaged in any conduct which presents a conflict of interest with HLA, such employee is subject to discipline, up to and including termination of employment. 5. BAN ON ACCEPTANCE OF GIFTS In accordance with the Conflict of Interest Provision contained in this Handbook, no employee of HLA is permitted to accept gifts of any kind of a value exceeding fifty dollars ($50.00) including but not limited to money, goods, food, entertainment, or services directly or indirectly from: a) Individuals, parents, Schools, partner organizations, or companies serving as vendors or potential vendors for this School; b) Elected officials or their representatives; c) Candidates for public office or their representatives; or d) Political party officials or their representatives. The Principal and the Board of Trustees may make exceptions, including in instances where such gifts intended for and will be used by HLA. Offers of such gifts in excess of $50.00, even when refused, must be communicated immediately by the employee receiving such an offer to the Principal.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15A committee of the board evaluates the principal's compensation in conjunction with information available regarding comparable positions. The committee utilizes salary information from other charter schools in it's determination.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19HLA makes its governing documents,conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.
form 990, part xi, line 2b:The Finance Committee assumes responsibility for the oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent auditor. The process has not changed since the prior year.
form 990, part I, line 1The Hebrew Language Academy Charter School (HLA) is a dual language public elementary school located in Brooklyn, New York. Founded in August, 2009, HLA's mission is to provide a nurturing yet rigorous dual language program committed to fostering academic excellence and a high degree of Hebrew language proficiency. Our school provides students with a sophisticated core curriculum in English Language Arts, mathematics, the sciences, social studies, art, music, technology and physical education. We incorporate Hebrew language instruction across the curriculum through a partial immersion proficiency model. At HLA, we recognize that our students are growing up in an increasingly "global" community. Our entire educational program is geared towards providing students with a solid foundation to become ethical, productive citizens in this global community. We help our students learn social and civic responsibility through the integration of community service and service learning into their classroom studies, and diversity, tolerance and openness are emphasized throughout the curriculum and school life. During the 2009-2010 school year HLA served 157 students in grade Kindergarten and grade 1. The student enrollment in HLA reflected the diversity of our surrounding community in Brooklyn, New York. The percentages of students by racial demographics was Caucasian 60%, Black 34%, Hispanic 4%, Multi Racial 1%, and Asian 1%. The breakdown of the home languages other than English was Hebrew 27%, Russian 24%, Creole 4% and Spanish 4%. The Title I percentage of students eligible for Free/Reduced meals based on the Federal Family Application for Meals was 67%. During the 2009-10 school year, HLA's percentage of special needs students was 19% and the English Language Learners was 2%. HLA will grow to be a K-5 elementary school by 2013-14 and continue to be a school of academic excellence as an option for parents in the surrounding community.
form 990, part x, line 25:Lease payable consists of the lease liability for two copier rentals.
