Schedule D, Part X, Line 2FIN 48 (ASC 740) FootnoteNSC was organized and incorporated in Illinois as a Not-for-Profit Organization in 2004. NSC has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that it is exempt from federal income taxes under the provision of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) of 1986, as amended, except for income taxes pertaining to unrelated business income. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance that requires tax effects from uncertain tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained if the tax position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. Management has determined there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition in the financial statements. Additionally, no provision for income taxes is reflected in these financial statements, and there is no interest or penalties recognized in the Statement of Position or Statement of Activities. The tax years ending 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes.
Schedule D, Part XI, Line 2b and Part XII, Line 2aDonated Services and Use of FacilitiesGenerally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establish regulations for reporting donated services. Those regulations require that donated services meeting three criteria should be reflected on the financial statements. The three criteria are as follows: the service requires a specialized skill; work is performed by someone possessing the specialized skill; and the service is something the organization would have had to purchase if it had not been donated. As part of the mission, NSC operates largely with donated services provided by business organizations from the Chicago area. In compliance with GAAP, the value of donated services has been reflected in the accompanying Statements of Activities as revenue and the related expense. For the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, donated services totaled $15,750 and $64,076, respectively, for travel and legal services provided by business organizations. These services were recorded at the prevailing costs and market rates.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 1aCommittees of the Governing BodyThe Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the directors in office, may designate and appoint one or more committees each of which shall consist of two or more directors, which committees, to the extent provided in such resolution, shall have and exercise the authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the corporation. The designation and appointment of any such committee and the delegation thereto of authority shall not operate to relieve the Board of Directors, or any individual director, of any responsibility imposed by law.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11bReview of Form 990Management and the Treasurer review a draft version of the Form 990. Subsequent to their review, Management and the Treasurer, along with the organization's Director of Finance discuss the draft versions with the tax preparers including any questions or necessary revisions. Based on feedback from that meeting, the Form 990 is revised as necessary. The Board of Directors will receive a copy of the Form 990 prior to filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12bDirector Conflict of Interest policyNo director or member of any committee shall derive any personal profit or gain, directly or indirectly, by reason of his or her membership on the Board of Directors or a committee. If a director or committee member is directly or indirectly a party to any transaction considered by the Board of Directors or a committee, the director or committee member shall disclose the material facts of the transaction and the director's interest or relationship prior to the approval or ratification of the transaction by the Board of Directors or committee, and shall not vote on the approval or ratification of the transaction.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12cMonitoring Conflict of InterestTransactions that involve a board member or officer are assessed to determine if a conflict of interest exists. The decisions regarding if a conflict exists is determined by the governing committees of the organization. If a conflict is identified (none identified to date), the member that it relates to is asked to abstain from the conversation and any related decisions made. Although the organization's conflict of interest policy does not require an annual completion of a conflict of interest statement, each officer, director, and key employee is required to disclose on a contemporaneous basis when a conflict arises.
Form 990, Part VI, Lines 15a and 15bCompensation ApprovalCompensation for the Chief Executive Officer of the organization was established and reviewed by the Board of an affiliate organization, and is reviewed by the Chairman of the Board annually. The Board reviews Form 990 data of other organizations to establish compensation, benefits, and increases. The Chief Executive Officer last received a raise in February 2013. New Schools for Chicago has no key employees, however, for top management, the board reviews each position at the time of hire for a market rate. Increases are budgeted in annual budgets which are approved by officers and directors, and then evaluations are given. Raises are then offered based on cost of living adjustments and performance. The directors/officers are informed in general terms of raises offered to staff. Compensation is contemporaneously documented in the personnel files.
