Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7bUnless approved by a vote of the member schools, the DCI shall not take any action on a charter amendment, including an amendment to its direct agreement with the public charter school board, which would: A. Discontinue instruction in French, Spanish or Mandarin; B. Change the corporation's instructional framework (i.e., abandoning its intention to seek accreditation from the international baccalaureate); or C. Change its mission, as previously adopted by the corporation and set forth in its agreement with the Public Charter School Board; or D. Increase its enrollment for any academic year by more than 25% of the enrollment projected and capped in the corporation's agreement with the Public Charter School Board.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe accounting firm prepares the 990 with the CFOO. The Executive Director reviews. Finally, a copy of the draft federal form 990 is forwarded to the Board of Trustees for review and approval before filing with the Internal Revenue Service.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cWhen a board member (and any member of a committee, including advisory committee, of the board), officer, executive or key employee of DCI becomes aware of pending proposed covered transaction, he or she has a duty to take the following actions: - Promptly disclose the existence and circumstances of such covered transaction to the board in writing; - Refrain from using his or her personal influence to encourage DCI to enter into the covered transaction; and - Physically excuse himself or herself from discussions regarding the covered transaction except to answer questions, including board discussions and decisions evaluating the existence of an actual or perceived conflict of interest in such circumstances. - Annually the conflict-of-interest policy is reviewed with all board members and key employees. Any conflict-of-interest issues that arise are required to be documented and addressed on an ongoing basis.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15All key employee salary amounts are reviewed and approved annually by the board of directors. Salary amounts are considered for comparability to similar organization. In the past, we reviewed salary scales every two years.

Form 990, Part XI, Line 8As a result of an internal review of DCI's accounting for personnel expenses, management identified over- and under-stated balances related to prior period activity. The FY 2024 financial statements have been restated to reflect management's correction of these errors. The net effect of the restatement decreased the beginning net assets in FY 2025 by $1,574,658.
