Part III, Line 4:Germantown Academy maintains and displays collections of works of art, historical treasures and other similar assets as a key component of our liberal arts, college preparatory curriculum. These works of art are incorporated on a regular basis as part of our art classes to help provide the Academy's students with the framework necessary to grow as artists themselves and to meet the stated curricular objectives of our mission. There is no intention to ever sell a work of art in order to generate income.
Part V, Line 4:The School's endowments consist of individual funds established for a variety of purposes including scholarships and financial aid, faculty compensation, student prizes, parent education, student education, improvements to property, plant and equipment, as well as various other activities of the school. Its endowments include both a donor-restricted endowment fund and fund designated by the Board of Trustees to function as an endowment. As required by SFAS No. 117, net assets associated with endowment funds, including funds designated by the Board of Trustees to function as endowments, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. The SCHOOL IS ALSO THE BENEFICIARY OF AN endowment THAT is held by the Edwin M. Lavino PERPETUAL Trust.
Part X, Line 2:The School accounts for uncertainties in income taxes in accordance with authoritative guidance, which prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority. Measurement of the tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition threshold has been met. The School's policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The School's federal Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally for three years after the date the return was filed.
