Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2The following people have a family relationship: Bojan Spassoff - President & Director Stephanie Wolf Spassoff - Director Alexander Spassoff - Communications Director
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The Board of Directors will receive a copy of the 990 and The Finance committee will review and approve the 990 before it is filed with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe School expects our employees to conduct business according to the highest ethical standards of conduct. Employees are expected to devote their best efforts to the interests of The School. Business dealings that appear to create a conflict between the interests of The School and an employee are unacceptable. The School recognizes the right of employees to engage in activities outside of their employment which are of a private nature and unrelated to our business. However, the employee must disclose any possible conflicts so that The School may assess and prevent potential conflicts of interest from arising. A potential or actual conflict of interest occurs whenever an employee is in a position to influence a decision that may result in a personal gain for the employee or an immediate family member (i.e., spouse or significant other, children, parents, siblings) as a result of The School's business dealings. Although it is not possible to specify every action that might create a conflict of interest, this policy sets forth those that most frequently present problems. If an employee has any question whether an action or proposed course of conduct would create a conflict of interest, he or she should immediately contact the Directors of The School to obtain advice on the issue. The purpose of this policy is to protect employees from any conflict of interest that might arise. A violation of this policy will result in immediate and appropriate discipline, up to and including immediate termination.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Compensation Committee of the School's Board of Trustees, comprised of three independent trustees, manages the process for determining the compensation of the Executive Director, co-Director, other officers and key employees. This Committee uses comparables of similar artistic organizations along with economic and budgetary considerations to determine compensation levels including salaries, bonus opportunities, and benefits. Bonuses are paid based on performance measured against financial, organizational, and artistic objectives. The Compensation Committee makes its recommendation to the Executive Committee of the Board for review and approval. This process was most recently conducted during the year covered by this return.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19Financial Statements of the School are available on the PA CDP website.
