CONFLICT OF INTERESTWhen an officer, trustee or employee's outside private activities could appear to an observer to be in conflict with that officer's, Trustee's or employee's responsibilities, or where the officer's, Trustee's or employee's position with the School appears to give that person a competitive advantage in her/his private activities, the officer, Trustee or employee must notify the Chief Executive Officer of the potential appearance of Conflict of Interest. The Chief Executive Officer will investigate the matter and apprise the Board of Trustees of his/her findings.. Also, in accordance with Pennsylvania's Public Official and Employee Ethics Law, WOLCS requires each trustee, officer and employee at the level of Director and above to file a Statement of Financial Interest with the Chief Executive Officer by May 1 of each year for the immediate prior year. All Statements of Financial Interest are reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer may require the filing of a Statement of Financial Interest by any employee whose duties require such disclosure. Finally, each trustee, officer and key employee of West Oak Lane Charter School shall annually sign a statement which affirms that s/he: 1. Has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy 2. Has read and understands the policy 3.

COMPENSATIONThe Board of Trustees of West Oak Lane Charter School engaged James E. Rocco Associates, Inc. to determine how the current base salaries and total compensation paid to five senior level non-teaching staff compare to the competitive labor market, defined as peer charter schools and other not-for-profit educational agencies. The compensation consultant reviewed WOLCS's organization structure, its programs and operations as outlined in the Annual Report, and a detailed account of the scope of each position, and the roles and responsibilities, special skills and competencies, internal and external relationships, and education and experience qualifications of incumbents. The review also considered a history of the compensation package provided to each incumbent, including base salary, incentive payor bonus, and the reportable annual value of other forms of compensation and supplemental benefits and perquisites as well as IRS Form 990 data for charter schools in Philadelphia. This information facilitated matching those positions with positions of similar responsibility and authority in comparable organizations and ensured the appropriateness of position matches with published salary survey data. Where data was gathered from geographic locations outside the Philadelphia metropolitan area, an adjustment was applied to account for differences in the cost of living, using the Economic Research Institute's Geographic Assessor.

GASB 68The School was required to adopt GASB 68 relative to its participation in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Public Employees' Retirement System (PSERS). Charter Schools are required to offer this retirement plan to their employees as a condition of their charter. The Commonwealth controls all aspects of the plan including assets and administration. The School makes contributions as defined by the Commonwealth. Historically, the School has recorded its contributions to the plan as expenses in the year these contributions were required by the Commonwealth. With the adoption of GASB 68, the School is required to record a liability for its proportionate share of the PSERS plan and expenses related to the performance of plan administration against its goals. The School recorded an adjustment to net assets of $837,476 for the net liability as of June 30, 2016.
