Schedule D, Part V, Line 4The endowment is used to support the educational mission of the School.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2The School follows FASB ASC 740, "Income Taxes", which clarifies the accounting for uncertain income tax positions by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The School recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. Management evaluated the School's tax positions and concluded that the School had no material uncertain income tax positions as of June 30, 2016 or 2015. The School is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the US federal, state, or local tax authorities for fiscal years before 2013. The School will account for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as part of the tax expense.

ExplanationFaculty are required to live in on-campus housing as a condition of employment. The Headmaster's home includes some space that is reserved for School related meetings and student activities. The cost of maintaining this allotted space is paid by the School and recorded as an operating expense. The Headmaster's contract, which is approved by the Board President and the Compensation Committee, includes the cost of residential cleaning. The cost is recorded by the School as a taxable benefit and reported on the W-2. The School will only pay for the cost of a traveling spouse when they are an authorized participant in School related functions. In such a case, the cost is treated as a non-taxable work related event. The discretionary account is provided to the Headmaster as part of the approved annual budget. The account is used to fund small School related expenses and, as a result, is not reported as a taxable fringe benefit.ExplanationTxt
