| Prior Period Adjustment due to change in Accounting Principle | The School implemented two new accounting standards (GASB 68 and 71) for the year ended June 30, 2015 which required recognition of the schools proportionate share of the unfunded pension liability. As a charter school in the state of Minnesota, participation in two multiple-employer, cost-sharing defined benefit pension plans is statutorily required. The schools contributions to the plans are also regulated by statute and are based on a percentage of salaries and wages earned by current employees. Therefore, while the Net Pension Liability is reported on the schools Statement of Net Position, the school is not in a position to directly control the liability or the subsequent liquidation of the liability. |
| Related Board Members | Per MN Statute 124D.10, Charter schools are required to have licensed teachers as members of the Board of Directors.Bethany Franz and Bre Vollrath are Board Members, but received compensation for their services as teachers. |
