| Facts And Circumstances Test | The Schott Foundation Meets The "Facts and Circumstances" TestThe Schott Foundation for Public Education (the "Foundation") qualifies as a "publicly supported" organization under section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) of the Code because it satisfies the "facts and circumstances" test set forth in Treas. Reg. 1.170A-9(f)(3). The Foundation normally receives at least 10% of its support from the general public, and it carries on a continuous and bona fide program of solicitation of public support. Moreover, the Foundation meets the following factors enumerated in the regulations as being indicative of public support:1.Percentage of Financial Support. Treas. Reg. 1.170A-9(f)(3)(iii).During the five-year period ending on June 30, 2010, the portion of the Foundation's support that qualifies as eligible public support is 24.40, well in excess of the 10% threshold.2.Sources of Support. Treas. Reg. 1.170A-9(f)(3)(iv).During the past five tax years, the Foundation has received contributions from a range of donors, including private individuals and families, corporations, private foundations and public charities.3.Representative Governing Body. Treas. Reg. 1.170A-9(f)(3)(v). The Foundation's twelve-member Board of Directors clearly represents broad public interests. A majority of the directors meet this requirement because they are public officials acting in their capacities as such, persons having special knowledge or expertise in the education field in which the Foundation operates, and others who represent a broad cross-section of the community. See Treas. Reg. 1.170A-9(f)(3)(v). The following are brief biographies of the Foundation's directors. Greg Jobin-Leeds. Mr. Jobin-Leeds helped to found the Foundation in 1991. Early in his career, he worked as a high school English teacher. He went on to train adult literacy teachers, and more recently he has worked to increase political access for disenfranchised populations. He has a Master's degree from the Teacher's College at Columbia University and more than 25 years of education, public policy, media, community organizing and leadership experience. He is a powerful speaker on the topic of "Strategic Philanthropy." Among other achievements, in partnership with the Teacher's College at Columbia University, Greg helped launch The National Academy for Excellent Teaching to improve teaching in urban schools. In 2007, Greg was appointed by Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick to serve on the Massachusetts' Readiness Project Leadership Council, specifically as a member of the Long-term Funding subcommittee.

Andrew Gillum. With a passion for public service, and the ability to motivate and mobilize people to action, Commissioner Andrew D. Gillum is known in his home state of Florida and nationally as an emerging leader. At the age of 23 and while still a student at Florida A&M University (FAMU), he became the youngest person ever elected to the Tallahassee City Commission in February 2003. In August 2004, Commissioner Gillum was re-elected by the citizens of Tallahassee to serve for a full four-year term as one of four on the Tallahassee City Commission. In November of 2004, Gillum was elected by his fellow City Commissioners to serve a one-year term as Mayor Pro Tem. Additionally, the joint body of City and County Commissioners, known as the Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency, elected him to serve as their chairperson for a year in 2005. In June 2003, he received the "Emerging Leaders Award" from the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc. (Washington, DC) for educating and motivating young adults to become more politically involved and for being an "invaluable source of guidance and inspiration to this generation of leaders." Ebony magazine's February 2004 edition featured Gillum as one of "The Fast Track 30 Leaders Who are 30 and Under." As National Director of the Young Elected Officials Network with PFAWF, Gillum spearheads a program that seeks to unite elected officials age 35 and under in a network which supports them with leadership and personal development training and public policy support.

In addition to founding the Institute for Student Achievement, he is on the boards of several other organizations working on education issues. These include the Alliance for Excellent Education, located in Washington, DC, whose goal is to make excellent education for all children a reality.

| Part V, Line 4: | Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds: | The Schott Foundation Endowment was created to provide long-term financial support for The Schott Foundation. Accordingly, these funds are managed with disciplined longer-term investment objectives and strategies designed to meet cash flows and spending requirements. Management of the assets is designed to attain the maximum total return consistent with acceptable and agreed upon levels of risk. It is the goal of the aggregate long-term investments to generate an average total annual return that exceeds the spending/payout rate plus inflation. |
| Part X: | Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: | The Foundation accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a "more likely than not" threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties assessed, if any, are accrued as income tax expense. The Foundation has identified its tax status as a tax-exempt entity as a tax position. However, the Foundation has determined that such tax position does not result in uncertainties requiring recognition. The Foundation is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. Its Federal and state income tax returns are generally open for examination for the past 3 years. |
