Return ReferenceDescription of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:ReturnReference
ExplanationThe Academy is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3). Both are subject to tax on income from any unrelated business. On July 1, 2009, the Academy adopted the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 740-10 (formerly known as FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Academy have analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and state jurisdiction where they operate. The Academy Company believe that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and do not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse affect on their respective financial condition, results of operation or cash flows. Accordingly, the Academy have not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2010.Explanation

General Explanation GeneralExplanation (10 entries)

IdentifierIdentifierExplanationExplanationReturn ReferenceReturnReference
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 3The school director's duties are normally an internal function of a charter school. Cyber Village outsources these duties to Designs for Learning.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4The bylaws of the Academy were changed in 2010 to ensure compliance with changes in MN statutes.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 8bThere are no committees with the authority to act on behalf of governing body.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The return is reviewed and signed by the School's Director prior to filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe Board receives training and information from MDE, Designs for Learning and MACS about required policies and procedures. Every year the board completes conflict of interest questionnaires and files them with Designs for Learning.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15bOfficers of the Board receive their regular salary whether or not they serve on the Board - in other words, Board membership or Board Officer status have no impact on salary. The school's director is not an employee, and the contract amount paid for his services was established when he was hired in August 2007 as the same amount of his predecessor, the founding director of the school, was paid as an employee. The Director prepares a school budget, including salaries and benefits budgets, which the board approves. In the past several years, because of the school's financial situation, salaries have remained flat. In the future, compensation issues might be addressed by engaging the services of an HR consultant, forming a compensation (or salary review) committee made up of a majority of non-teacher board members and/or community members.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The organization makes its 990 information, governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available upon request.
Form 990. Part XI, line 2c.The Board assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant annually. This process has not changed from the prior year.
Made an effort to obtain information on compensation, if any, was paid from a related organization. No response received and no transactions noted.Related Organization Compensation:
Form 990. Part VI, Section A, line 1b:Several members of the board are teachers at the School. Minnesota State Statute 124D.10 Subd. 4.(g) requires the board to have at least one employed or contracted teacher.
