Form And Line Reference	Part X, Line 2:	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	Accounting standards require entities to disclose in their financial statements the nature of any uncertain tax positions. Tax years including the year ended June 30, 2014 and later are subject to examination by tax authorities. Areas that IRS and state tax authorities consider when examining tax returns of a charity include, but may not be limited to, tax-exempt status and the existence and amount of unrelated business income. The School does not believe that it has any uncertain tax positions with respect to these or other matters, and has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits or liability for penalties or interest. The School is not aware of any circumstances or events that make it reasonably possible that tax benefits may increase or decrease within 12 months of the date of these financial statements.
