EducateONE Organizational Policy § 11.8.00. Public Inspection and Disclosure Policy.
(a) Public Availability.
(1) EducateONE shall make final Board-approved policies available on its website.
(2) If a final Board-approved policy has not yet been posted on EducateONE’s website, the policy may be requested from EducateONE and may be provided in any reasonable format, subject to reasonable copying, mailing, or delivery costs.
(3) Examples of policies and public organizational documents that will be available include EducateONE’s articles of incorporation, bylaws, conflict of interest policy, federal tax-exemption application and all attachments, IRS determination letter, annual information returns, required schedules and attachments, Form 990-T, audited financial statements, and other public organizational documents, records, reports, filings, or materials.
(b) Confidential Policies and Materials.
(1) EducateONE reserves its lawful authority to maintain confidential policies, policy materials, internal procedures, privileged materials, security-sensitive materials, personnel-related materials, student or family records, donor-confidential information, investigation materials, drafts, superseded materials, and other records or materials that are not public organizational documents.
Source Note
This policy is adapted from Public Counsel’s Community Development Project, Form 990 Series Public Disclosure Policy and Memorandum, including its sample Public Disclosure Policy for tax-exempt organizations. The policy has been modified for EducateONE’s organizational structure, website-posting approach, public transparency commitment, confidentiality reservation, policy numbering, source-note placement, and drafting style.
