F990_P06_S0A_L02Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2Two of our trustees (Philip Sassower, Stephen Cooper) have occasional business dealings with one another.
F990_P06_S0B_L11Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11The Director of Finance prepares the return, and the Headmaster reviews it.
F990_P06_S0B_L12cForm 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cThe School's conflict of interest policy covers Trustees and key employees of the School. A committee, designated by the Board of Trustees, is responsible for reviewing potential conflicts of interest and determining whether conflicts exist. The policy states that "A voting member of the Board or of any committee who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from the School or its affiliates for services is precluded from voting on any matters pertaining to that person's compensation." Forms are required to be signed by all Trustees and key employees on an annual basis outlining any possible conflict of interest. Vendor relationships are monitored by the Headmaster and the Chief Financial Officer of the School on an ongoing basis in order to identify any potential conflicts and refer them to the committee.
F990_P06_S0B_L15Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15Headmaster compensation is decided upon by the full Board of Trustees, based on information about other Head salaries in comparable institutions. The decision is recorded in the minutes and transmitted in writing. This process was later undertaken in December 2009.
