Form And Line ReferencePart II-B, Line 1, Lobbying activities:FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationLobbying activities consist of communicating the needs of school districts to legislative and executive officials and staff, and communicating with the membership to encourage them to influence legislation. Since staff involved in lobbying activities is also involved in non-lobbying activities, costs have been allocated to lobbying activities based upon a systematic application of estimated percentages of involvement in lobbying, in both legislative and non-legislative periods throughout the year, as well as specific identification of some of the costs. No amounts are expended for political campaign activity.ExplanationTxt

Part X, Line 2:Based upon a determination letter obtained from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), TASB claims exemption from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. TASB continues to operate in accordance with its original exempt purpose. As TASB considers new programs, activities, and markets, each opportunity is evaluated to assure it is in keeping with that original exempt purpose. Annually, TASB files a Form 990 Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax and a Form 990-T Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return, in the United States Federal jurisdiction. First Public is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return filed by TASB. New programs created and activities conducted are disclosed to the IRS on the Form 990. In addition, unrelated business income derived from TASB activities is disclosed to the IRS on the Form 990-T, as required. TASB services provided that generated unrelated business income during the years ended August 31, 2016 and 2015, include, but are not limited to, cooperative purchasing to private nonprofit entities; online distribution and management of meeting materials to non-governmental subscribers; and other annual service subscriptions from non-governmental entities. For the year ended August 31, 2015, TASB services that generated unrelated business income also included affiliate membership fees from Texas charter schools. Subsequent to August 31, 2015, as a result of action taken by the Texas Legislature, income received from the provision of services to Texas charter schools is no longer considered unrelated business income because charter schools are considered local governmental entities under Texas law. TASB recorded $234,661 and $114,324 in income tax expense on net unrelated business income for the years ended August 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which is included with Other operating expenses in the Statements of Activities. TASB follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740-10, Accounting for Income Tax Uncertainty. ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for accounting for uncertain tax positions and also provides guidance on various related matters such as de-recognition, interest, penalties, and disclosures required. TASB does not have any entity level uncertain tax positions in connection with these financial statements. Footnote: While TASB recorded an estimated tax expense of $234,661 for the 2015-16 fiscal year, actual payments made to the IRS totaled $197,522.

Part I, Line 6One listed employee is affected by a commission plan that uses net earnings generated from the applicable program to determine commission amounts paid. The plan has established annual net earnings benchmarks that must be exceeded in order for the employee to be awarded a bonus. Bonuses are calculated on amounts in excess of the established benchmark for that particular program. The plan includes a maximum percentage of the employee's annual base salary that can be awarded as a bonus. The compensation plan for the TASB Executive Director includes a bonus plan that in part, considers net earnings of the organization. The incentive plan, approved by the TASB Board of Directors, consists of five different performance metrics, including fiscal-year net earnings of the organization. Each of the five metrics is evaluated individually, using criteria established in the incentive plan, and contains a weighting factor. A target and maximum bonus amount exists for each performance metric.
Part I, Line 7TASB's staff bonuses consist of Extraordinary Contribution Awards (ECAs) and Organizational Performance Awards (OPAs). ECAs, which are merit based, are designed to motivate and retain employees who provide exemplary performance on behalf of the Association. OPAs are designed to recognize all staff for their efforts in contributing to a successful year for the organization. These bonus programs, which may be administered annually, are discretionary and board approved. TASB staff bonus programs are provided at the discretion of the Association. TASB reserves the right to administer, modify, or terminate the bonus programs with or without notice to staff.

Form 990, Part I, Box L- Year of Formation:Texas Association of School Boards was initially formed as an unincorporated association in 1949. In 1999, Texas Association of School Boards merged with its related non-profit corporate entity becoming the Texas Association of School Boards, Inc. (TASB).
Form 990, Part IV, Line 33:FIRST PUBLIC, A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER AND LICENSED INSURANCE AGENCY, IS A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF TASB AND A DISREGARDED ENTITY FOR FEDERAL TAX PURPOSES. FIRST PUBLIC IS MANAGER-MANAGED. THE MANAGING DIRECTOR IS APPOINTED BY THE TASB BOARD'S FIRST PUBLIC GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE. ACTIVITIES OF FIRST PUBLIC AND APPLICABLE DISCLOSURES ARE CONSOLIDATED WITH TASB IN THIS 2015 IRS FORM 990.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1The First Public Governance Committee is a committee of the TASB Board, composed of the Board officers and executive director as voting members. This Committee represents the interests of the TASB Board as it relates to First Public, an entity whose sole member is TASB (and a disregarded entity for federal tax purposes). Pursuant to TASB Board policy, this Committee has the authority to take all action related to TASB as the sole member of First Public, including the hiring and firing of First Public's managing director. TASB bylaws provide that the Board shall consist of 44 members, and that each vacancy will reduce full Board membership by one until the vacancy is filled. Because of one unfilled vacancy, Board membership consisted of 43 members as of August 31, 2016.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6TASB HAS THREE CLASSES OF MEMBERS: ACTIVE, ASSOCIATE AND AFFILIATE. ACTIVE IS THE PRIMARY MEMBERSHIP CLASS AND THE ONLY CLASS WITH GOVERNANCE RIGHTS. ACTIVE MEMBERS ARE BOARDS OF INDEPENDENT OR COMMON SCHOOL DISTRICTS, COUNTY BOARDS OF EDUCATION, AND REGIONAL EDUCATION SERVICE CENTERS WITHIN THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT PAY MEMBERSHIP FEES. THE MEMBERSHIP YEAR OF TASB IS JANUARY 1 THROUGH DECEMBER 31. FOR 2016, ACTIVE MEMBER FEES WERE CHARGED AT A MINIMUM OF $800 AND A MAXIMUM OF $11,000, AND WERE DETERMINED BASED ON THE ENTITY'S PRIOR YEAR AUDITED TOTAL OF OPERATING EXPENSES. MEMBERSHIP IN TASB IS VOLUNTARY AND GENERALLY PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING: NONPARTISAN ADVOCACY AT THE STATE AND NATIONAL LEVEL, LEGAL ASSISTANCE FROM KNOWLEDGEABLE ATTORNEYS, INFORMATIONAL RESOURCES, BOARD TRAINING (INCLUDING TRACKING CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS), SUBSCRIPTION TO TASB'S MONTHLY PERIODICAL - TEXAS LONE STAR - AND OTHER PUBLICATIONS, AND MEMBER RATES AT CONFERENCES AND WORKSHOPS. MEMBERSHIP PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES TO SUBSCRIBE TO OTHER TASB PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ON AN ADDITIONAL FEE BASIS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aMembers or others who may elect one or more members of the governing body: Active TASB members elect the TASB Board of Directors and Officers. The President of the Texas Association of Education Service Centers (TAESC) also has a voting ex-officio position on the TASB Board by virtue of the TASB bylaws.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7bDecisions of the governing body subject to approval by members or others: The TASB Board recommends bylaw amendments, mission statement amendments, beliefs, the Advocacy Agenda (which consists of cornerstone principles, priorities, and resolutions), and membership fees for Active members for final adoption by the membership through the TASB Delegate Assembly. (The Delegate Assembly is comprised of representatives designated by Active members each year and serves as TASB's general governing body.) Form 990, part vi, Section A, line 8a: The following is provided for clarification. TASB Board Officers and the Executive Director (non-voting) make up the Executive Committee with certain designated authority. Meeting activities are documented, including actions taken, at each meeting. These individuals also serve as the First Public Governance Committee (with the Executive Director serving in a voting capacity). While the same individuals serve on both committees, these are two separate committees with different roles and responsibilities. The First Public Governance Committee, which has authority to act on behalf of the TASB Board, documents its meeting activities, including actions taken, at each committee meeting. Other TASB committees also document their meeting activities, although most action items require final Board approval.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The outside auditing firm engaged by the TASB Board prepares the Form 990 using information provided by TASB's accounting staff. The completed Form 990 is reviewed by TASB's accounting staff and general counsel. A copy of the return is posted on an electronic site available to board members, who are notified via email when the return is available for their review. Board members are given the opportunity to comment prior to final submission to the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe TASB Board avoids conflicts of interest that will materially and adversely affect the interests of TASB through Board policy. Each Board member (including the Executive Director who is an ex-officio, non-voting member of the Board) reviews the Board's conflict of interest policy and must complete, sign, and return an annual disclosure form, identifying the presence or absence of any known actual or potential conflicts. If a disclosure has been made, the Board will determine whether the proposed transaction or arrangement is fair, reasonable, and in the best interest of TASB; and, in the case of a disclosed interest made by the Executive Director, the Board's executive committee makes such determination. A person whose actual or potential conflict is under review must stand in recusal and not debate or vote on such determination. Records or minutes of the Board will state the name of the board member whose interest was disclosed; state the nature of the interest; and summarize the content of the discussion and vote taken by the disinterested voting members. A similar annual disclosure requirement is required of TASB's key employees. Key employees, as well as all employees, cannot have financial interests in contracts or other transactions involving TASB, without the Executive Director (or designee) making a determination that the transaction is fair, reasonable, and in the best interest of TASB.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15TASB follows board-adopted policies regarding compensation of the TASB Executive Director, key employees and other executives, and the First Public Managing Director (discussed below). The TASB Executive Committee evaluates comparability data and recommends appropriate compensation for the Executive Director to the board. The Executive Director is authorized to set and approve compensation for TASB key employees, including executives, under board-approved parameters. The Executive Director relies on comparable data from various sources. Regarding the First Public Managing Director, as stated previously on Schedule O with respect to Part VI, Line 8, the TASB Board Officers and the Executive Director collectively serve as the First Public Governance Committee. The TASB Board has delegated the First Public Governance Committee with the authority to consider and approve matters that TASB is entitled to approve as the sole member of First Public. This authority includes approving the compensation of the First Public Managing Director. The First Public Governance Committee relies on comparable data in making compensation decisions.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19TASB's charter, bylaws, conflict of interest policies, and audited financial statements are available for public inspection upon request.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B:TASB leases certain employees to First Public. These employees are defined as "associated persons" of First Public by the Securities and Exchange Commission. By virtue of the employee lease agreement between TASB and First Public, First Public has the authority to manage the day-to-day activities of these associated persons. First Public has written supervisory procedures that associated persons must follow, and such procedures include the requirement to follow TASB administrative policies to the extent they do not conflict with the policies and procedures of First Public.
Form 990, Part VII, Section A:While column (B) in Section A reflects full-time TASB employees as working an average of 40 hours per week, these individuals are exempt and often work in excess of 40 hours.
Form 990, Part VIII, Line 2- Program Service Revenue:Certain program service revenue reported on Line 2 includes income derived from Texas Interlocal Cooperation Act administrative agencies and programs created to perform administrative functions associated with the routine operation of government. This revenue constitutes income which is related to the exempt purpose of TASB, and is exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. In particular, The Internal Revenue Service has confirmed that the administrative services rendered by TASB to the various cash/risk management programs are related to its exempt function of lessening the burdens of government and, therefore, are related trade or business within the meaning of Section 1.513-1 (D) (2) of the regulations. Additionally, TASB's Risk Management program revenue is derived from the performance of an essential governmental function and is exempt under Section 115 of the Internal Revenue Code. The remaining elements of TASB's program service revenue are related to TASB's exempt function of lessening the burdens of government or serving an educational purpose and, therefore, such revenue also constitutes income from a related trade or business under Section 1.513-1 (D) (2) of the regulations.
Form 990, Part VIII, Line 5- Royalties:Royalties primarily consist of revenue received through affinity and license agreements between TASB and four affiliated entities for the use of TASB's intellectual intangible assets such as its name and logo in promoting, marketing, and offering their various programs and services. These affiliated entities are all administrative agencies of cooperating local governments organized under the Interlocal Cooperation Act (Texas Government Code, Chapter 791). Services provided by these affiliated entities directly contribute to TASB's exempt purpose by lessening the burdens of government on public schools and other governmental entities, and allowing them to be more efficient and effective. TASB also receives royalties from a national school board association, an internal audit service firm, and a data analytics software development firm for the use of TASB's name and logo.
Form 990, Part XII, Line 2- Financial Statements and Reporting:The following is provided for clarification. The Budget & Finance Committee of the TASB Board annually considers engagement of the accounting firm that will conduct the TASB financial statement audit. The Committee's recommendation is taken to the TASB Board for approval. The audited financial statements are presented to the Committee, and the external auditors review their reports with the Committee for acceptance. The audit is then taken to the TASB Board for approval and acceptance upon recommendation of the Committee. Regarding First Public, the First Public Managing Director engages the independent audit firm, reviews and accepts the annual financial statement audit, and presents the audit to the First Public Governance Committee for review.
