Part V, Line 4:ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE USED TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL AID, PURCHASE LIBRARY BOOKS, FRAME STUDENT ARTWORK, FUND COMMUNITY SERVICE, FACULTY SALARIES AND ENRICHMENT, SCIENCE PROGRAMS, THEATER AND MUSIC, AND GLOBAL STUDIES.
Part X, Line 2:The School is generally exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the School qualifies for charitable contributions deductions and has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation. Business income which is not related to exempt purposes, less applicable deductions, is subject to federal and state corporate income taxes. For the year ended June 30, 2017, the School had immaterial unrelated business income taxes, and accordingly, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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. 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 2014.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2Robert Moser and Sameer Bhargava - business relationship.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4Approval of Amendments to Potomac School Bylaws April 6, 2017: Article II.A Language of Bylaw After Amendment: Composition of the Board and Election of Trustees. The Board of Trustees (the Board) of the School shall consist of the Head of School, as a non-voting trustee, and from seventeen to twenty-six elected and voting trustees. If the number of elected and voting trustees falls below seventeen, the Board will rectify the situation within thirty days as described in Section II.A.1 below (except that the timing for conducting elections and effectiveness of such elections shall occur on an expedited basis). In the case of a Third Term Trustee, an Extended Service Chair or an Extended Service Officer, the Board may exceed the limit of twenty-six elected and voting trustees. Article II.A.2 Language of Bylaw After Amendment: Term. Board trustees elected in the ordinary cycle, to fill positions beginning July 1 of a given year, shall serve a term of three years. The first term of any person elected to the Board to fill a vacancy commencing on a date other than July 1 shall end on June 30 of the third calendar year after the year in which the person is elected. The Board may re-elect a trustee to one additional, consecutive three-year term. If determined by the Board to be in the best interests of the School, the Board may re-elect a trustee to serve a third consecutive three-year term (a Third Term Trustee). The Board may elect a former trustee to serve one or more new terms (up to a maximum of three new terms in compliance with the preceding provisions) that begin at least one year after the former trustee's last term ended. No person may serve as a trustee for more than three consecutive terms. The Board may extend the term as trustee of an Officer of the Board as provided in Sections II.B.1 and II.B.2 below with respect to an Extended Service Chair or an Extended Service Officer. Article II.B.1 Language of Bylaw After Amendment: Chair. The Board shall elect a Chair for a three-year term after the Committee on Trustees recommends one or two candidates. At the end of the three-year term, the Board may extend the Chair's term by one additional year on the grounds that extraordinary circumstances and the best interests of the School justify such extension. In any case where the Chair's term is extended for a fourth year, the Board shall elect a Chair-Elect to serve as Chair at the conclusion of the fourth year. The Board shall not extend the Chair's term beyond the fourth year. When, due to early termination of a Chair during the academic year, because of resignation, removal, or death, the new Chair's three-year term shall end on June 30 of the second calendar year after election to that position.
