DORAL ACADEMY OF IDAHO

Conflict of Interest Policy and Code of Ethics For Directors and Officers and Members of a Committee with Board Delegated Powers

Article I – Purpose

1. The purpose of this conflict of interest policy is to protect DORAL ACADEMY OF IDAHO (“DORAL”) and its interests when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or arrangement that might benefit the private interests of an officer or director of DORAL or might result in a possible excess benefit transaction, as that concept is defined in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations.

2. This policy is intended to supplement, but not replace, any applicable state and federal laws governing conflicts of interest applicable to nonprofit and charitable organizations.

3. This policy is also intended to identify “independent” directors.

Article II – Definitions

1. Interested person – Any director, principal officer, or member of a committee with governing board delegated powers, who has a direct or indirect financial interest, as defined below, is an interested person.

2. Financial interest – A person has a financial interest if the person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment, or family:

a. An ownership or investment interest in any entity with which DORAL has a transaction or arrangement, b. A compensation arrangement with DORAL or with any entity or individual with which DORAL has a transaction or arrangement, or c. A potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with, any entity or individual with which DORAL is negotiating a transaction or arrangement.

Compensation includes direct and indirect remuneration, as well as gifts or favors that are not insubstantial.

A financial interest is not necessarily a conflict of interest. A person who has a financial interest may have a conflict of interest only if the Board decides that a conflict of interest exists, in accordance with this policy.

3. Independent Director – A director shall be considered “independent” for the purposes of this policy if he or she is “independent” as defined in the instructions for the IRS Form 990 or, until such definition is available, the director:

a. Is not, and has not been for a period of at least three years, an employee of DORAL or any entity in which DORAL has a financial interest; b. Does not directly or indirectly have a significant business relationship with DORAL which might affect independence indecision-making; c. Is not employed as an executive of another corporation where any of DORAL’s

14

executive officers or employees serve on that corporation’s compensation committee; and, d. Does not have an immediate family member who is an executive officer or employee of DORAL or who holds a position that has a significant financial relationship with DORAL.

Article III – Procedures

1. Duty to Disclose – In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the Board of Directors.

2. Recusal of Self – Any director may recuse himself or herself at any time from involvement in any decision or discussion in which the director believes he or she has or may have a conflict of interest, without going through the process for determining whether a conflict of interest exists.

3. Determining Whether a Conflict of Interest Exists – After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the Board of Directors meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining Board members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists.

4. Procedures for Addressing the Conflict of Interest a. An interested person may make a presentation at the Board of Directors meeting, but after the presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. b. The Chairperson of the Board shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. c. After exercising due diligence, the Board of Directors shall determine whether DORAL can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous us transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. d. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the Board of Directors shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in DORAL’s best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination, it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.

5. Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy a. If the Board of Directors has reasonable causes to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. b. If, after hearing the member’s response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the Board of Directors determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.

Article IV – Records of Proceedings

The minutes of the Board and all committees with board delegated powers shall contain:

15

1. The names of the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to have a financial interest in connection with an actual or possible conflict of interest, the nature of the financial interest, any action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was present, and the Board’s decision as to whether a conflict of interest in fact existed.

2. The names of the persons who were present for discussions and votes relating to the transaction or arrangement, and a record of any votes taken in connection with proceedings.

Article V – Compensation

a. A voting member of the Board who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from DORAL for services is precluded from voting on matters pertaining to that member’s compensation.

b. A voting member of any committee whose jurisdiction includes compensation matters and who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, from DORAL for services is precluded from voting on matters pertaining to that member’s compensation.

a. Has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy, b. Has read and understands the policy, c. Has agreed to comply with the policy, and d.

Following are the basic business terms on which Performance Charter School Development LLC, a Texas limited liability company (or an affiliate thereof either individually or in connection with a joint venture) (in any case, “Landlord”) proposes to acquire and rehabilitate an existing school Facility (defined below) and to enter into a long-term, “triple net” lease of the Facility to Doral Academy of Idaho, Inc., an Idaho non-profit corporation and public charter school (“Tenant”), for the operation of a charter school. Landlord and Tenant will negotiate a Lease (described below) that will contain an option for the Tenant to purchase the Facility for a purchase price equal to the parties’ good faith estimate of the value of the Facility as of the purchase date at the time periods set forth below.

Project Description

Landlord: Performance Charter School Development LLC, or affiliate(s).

Tenant: Doral Academy of Idaho, Inc., an Idaho non-profit corporation and public charter school.

School: Doral Academy of Idaho - Cherry Lane Campus, a kindergarten through eighth grade campus to be operated at the Facility.

Project Coordinator: XL Charter Development LLC, a Utah limited liability company.

Project: Acquisition and rehabilitation of an existing building consisting of approximately 40,000 square feet located on approximately 3.507 acres of land located at 2511 W. Cherry Lane in Meridian, Idaho (the “Facility”). Promptly following the execution of this term sheet, the parties will work cooperatively and expeditiously to prepare and finalize a detailed description of the Project.

22

Project Costs: All costs associated with the development and construction of the Project, including without limitation, acquisition of the Facility, soft costs (including a development fee), hard costs and financing fees. Any overages or savings will be added to or deducted from Project Costs.

Preliminary Project Budget:

The Preliminary Project Budget is estimated to be approximately $5,168,435, based on cost estimates prepared by Landlord. This estimate will be updated after the acquisition and improvements have been completed. The Project will be constructed on an “open book” basis.

Project Timeline: The Project timeline will be developed in more detail at a later date; however, the Project is currently estimated to be completed by July 31, 2020.

Process: Landlord will fully fund and manage the acquisition, development and construction of the Project from acquisition through completion and certificate of occupancy. Landlord will engage engineers, architects, a construction manager or a general contractor and other required professionals and contractors.

Preliminary Due Diligence Requirements and Conditions:

Immediately following the execution of this term sheet, Tenant shall provide the following items for Landlord’s review and approval:

• Charter Contracts or Authorizer Board Resolutions. • Description of Tenant including Board of Directors. • Tenant 5-year forecast pro forma budget. • School 5-year forecast pro forma budget (if different than

Tenant).

Long-Term Lease Agreement and Purchase Option Terms

Lease Type: Triple Net.

Term: Approximately 25 years.

Commencement Date: Upon delivery by Landlord following substantial completion, currently estimated to be July 31, 2020.

Rent Commencement: Rent will commence on earlier of (i) August 1, 2020, and (ii) the date the School opens to students at the Facility (currently anticipated to be in August 2020, the specific date will be determined by the West Ada School District), and be prorated as necessary.

Base Rent: Base Rent will be as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. If changes to the Preliminary Project Budget are made, Base Rent will

23

be adjusted to ensure the same rate of return to Landlord.

Additional Rent: Tenant will pay, as Additional Rent, either directly or by reimbursement to Landlord, all operating costs, utilities, maintenance and repair costs, real and personal property taxes, and insurance, such that the Base Rent will be absolutely net to Landlord.

Operating Covenants: Tenant will be required to maintain their Public School Charter Contract for the School in good standing and complete required extensions during the entire term of the Lease. Tenant shall covenant not to pledge any revenues from the School to any party or as collateral or security for any debt of Tenant or its affiliates. Tenant shall be responsible for all maintenance and repairs of the Facility. Tenant will be responsible for filing the necessary application for and obtaining a property tax exemption. Other standard and customary triple net lease covenants will apply.

Assignment/Subleasing: No subleasing or assignment of the Facility will be permitted without Landlord’s prior written consent, except (i) Landlord hereby consents to the sublease of the Facility pursuant to that lease dated August 1, 2018, between Compass Public Charter School and The Church of Christ (such lease to be assigned to Tenant as the sublandlord thereunder and amended to include indemnification and other provisions as required by Landlord), and (ii) Tenant shall have the right to sublease or license portions of the Facility under a form license agreement to be attached to the Lease, to subtenants or licensees with educational, religious, social, scientific, charitable, or athletic uses that support Tenant’s operations at the Facility, without the consent of Landlord. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment or sublease to certain related or affiliated parties of Tenant.

Purchase Option: The Lease shall include a purchase option which will provide Tenant with the right to purchase the Facility beginning July 31, 2021, with predetermined purchase prices through July 31, 2025, after which the purchase price will be negotiated between Landlord and Tenant in good faith, but in no event lower than the purchase price for 2025.

The purchase price for the Facility and other conditions to the purchase option will be set forth specifically in the Lease. The purchase price will be based on the parties’ estimate of the value of the Facility as of the purchase date which value shall be based, in part, upon the Project Costs. The purchase prices, based on the Preliminary Project Budget, are set forth on Exhibit A. Once final Project Costs are determined following substantial completion, the purchase price shall be adjusted if the actual Project Costs differ from the Preliminary Project Budget to ensure that Landlord receives

24

the same rate of return on its capital investment in the Facility as it would have received had the actual Project Costs been equal to the Preliminary Project Budget.

Controlled Flow of State Payments:

Each month Tenant and Landlord shall assure that any relevant portion of funds received by Tenant, or by any other institution for or on behalf of Tenant (“Tenant’s Bank”), from the State of Idaho and deposited into Tenant’s general operating account for the payment of, in part, Tenant’s lease payments for the Facility subject to the Lease (“Tenant’s Account”), are wire transferred from Tenant’s Account by Tenant’s Bank to Landlord in accordance with the terms and provisions of an ACH Wire Transfer Agreement (“ACH Agreement”). Prior to the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant agrees that Tenant and Tenant’s Bank shall negotiate in good faith and thereafter enter into such ACH Agreement in form mutually agreeable to Tenant, Tenant’s Bank, Landlord and Landlord’s bank.

Appendix B: Performance Framework

42

The data provided in this report was gathered primarily through the State Board of Education and State Department of Education. An independent financial audit and any applicable mission-specific data were submitted directly by the school. The school had a opportunity to correct or clarify its framework outcomes prior to the publication of this report.

Public charter school operations are inherently complex. For this reason, readers are encouraged to consider the scores on individual measures within the framework as a starting point for gaining a full, contextualized understanding of the school’s performance.

This report contains an overview of the school, including its mission, leadership, and demographics. The overview is followed by the school’s performance framework, including outcomes for the most recently completed school year.

The performance framework clearly sets forth the academic and operational performance indicators, measures, and metrics that will guide the PCSC's evaluations of the school. It contains indicators, measures, and metrics for student academic proficiency, student academic growth, post-secondary readiness (for high schools), and board performance and stewardship.

In accordance with Idaho law, the performance framework requires, at a minimum, that each school meet applicable federal, state, and authorizer goals for student achievement. It is designed to fulfill this requirement while respecting the diverse missions and student populations represented in PCSC portfolio schools. This performance framework was adopted by the Idaho Public Charter School Commission on May 4th, 2017.

To facilitate a clear context for the academic results contained in this report, the demographic, enrollment, and school leadership information provided is from the school year during which the data was gathered. Updated enrollment and school leadership information is available upon request from the school or PCSC office.

Each year, Idaho’s Public Charter School Commission (PCSC) issues a performance report to every school in its portfolio. The annual report serves several purposes:

1. To provide transparent, data-driven information about charter school quality;

2. To ensure charter school boards have access to clear expectations and are provided maximum opportunity to correct any deficiencies prior to their renewal year; and

3. To inform mid-term authorizing decisions, such as the evaluation of charter amendment proposals.

[SCHOOL NAME][YEAR] ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT

INTRODUCTION

43

The financial section evaluates the near-term and long-term financial status of the school. Schools with management contracts containing deficit protection clauses may be exempted from these indicators.

The academic section comprises the primary indicators on which most renewal or non-renewal decisions are based. The mission-specific, operational, and financial sections contribute additional indicators that are, except in cases of egregious failure to meet standards, considered secondary.

ACCOUNTABILITY DESIGNATIONS

Calculation of the percentage of eligible points earned for each school determines that school's accountability designation in each section. The accountability designations, in turn, guide authorizing decisions. The PCSC will consider contextual factors affecting a school's accountability designations when making authorizing decisions.

HonorSchools achieving at this level in all sections are guaranteed renewal. Replication and expansion proposals are likely to succeed.

PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK STRUCTURE

Financial

The academic section focuses on quantitative academic outcomes. It reflects the PCSC's commitments to considering schools' performance in the context of their communities and student populations. Although some results may not be made publicly available in certain cases, in order to protect individually identifiable student information, the PCSC may still use this information for purposes of making authorizing decisions.

The mission-specific section provides an opportunity for meaningful acknowledgement of schools' achievements that are not reflected elsewhere in the framework. These measures may be academic or non-academic in nature, but must be objective and data-driven. Mission-specific measures are generally optional; however, inclusion of certain mission-specific measures may be required as a condition of the performance certificate.

The operational section considers whether schools are operating in compliance with federal and state law, authorizer requirements, and the provisions of their performance certificates.

Good StandingSchools achieving at this level in the academic section will be recommended for renewal; however, conditional renewal may be recommended if outcomes in other sections are poor. Replication and expansion proposals will be considered.

RemediationSchools achieving at this level in the academic section may be recommended for non-renewal or conditional renewal, particularly if outcomes in other sections are poor. Replication and expansion proposals are unlikely to succeed.

CriticalSchools achieving at this level in the academic section face a strong likelihood of non-renewal, particularly if outcomes in other sections are also poor. Replication and expansion proposals will not be considered.

SCHOOL OVERVIEW

Mission Statement

Key Design Elements

School Location

Through arts integration, individual student focus, and rigorous academics, Doral Academy of Idaho will place all students on a path for success at the college and career level.

1) Standards Aligned Curriculum: (to the state in which the school is located) Nevada and Florida each have aligned their ELA and Math Curriculum to the Common core Standards (CCSS). Thus, as Idaho formally adopted the CCSS as the ELA and Mathematics components of the Idaho Core Standards (ICS), the program will be readily replicable and aligned to the rigor of the ICS. Furthermore, and pending approval of the petition, the principal will work closely with Doral Academy, Inc. to ensure DAI's Science curriculum is aligned to the Idaho science Standards adopted early last year (2018). 2) Arts Integration" Arts Integration instructional strategies and methods are best practices utilized to teach the curriculum fusing an art form (drama, music, art, etc.) within the learning process; 3) Basal Textbooks and Other Support Materials: standards aligned materials that support learning; 4) Data Driven Instruction Model: Doral Inc. has the philosophy that their schools school meet the needs of the community in which that are located and the students they serve. Thus, DAI will use results on student interim and summative assessments to make data-driven decisions for the benefit of the student.

Guidance: Equitable Selection and Enrollment Process 2

Purpose Charter schools enroll students based on an equitable selection process outlined in Idaho Statute

and Administrative Code. The purpose of these laws is to provide transparency of the enrollment

process (not just the data going in and the data coming out) and to ensure consistency in

enrollment practices across all charter schools in Idaho.

This guide will help you navigate the process of collecting requests for admissions and processing

those requests through the registration process. As always, the PCSC staff is happy to answer any

questions you have and/or direct you to the experts who can best help you.

62

Guidance: Equitable Selection and Enrollment Process 3

Establishing the Deadline for Request for Admissions IDAPA 80.02.02.203

The school’s board must formally identify the enrollment deadline each year (via motion and vote). This motion must take place more than 3 months prior to the deadline.

The school’s Performance Certificate establishes capacity by grade level. This is necessary because the equitable selection process (lottery) must be conducted by grade level.

The board may choose to reduce the number of open seats below the stated capacity. Schools may not enroll more students than their stated capacity in any grade level.

Once the enrollment deadline and capacity per grade level are made available to the public, they cannot be changed for that enrollment year.

Notifying the Public of the Deadline IDAPA 80.02.02.203

The community in the school’s primary attendance area (as established in the school’s Performance Certificate) must be notified of the enrollment deadline 3 months prior to the deadline.

Notification must consider the language demographics of the community.

Notification must be posted in highly visible and prominent locations within the primary attendance area.

Notification must include press releases or public service announcements to media outlets for broadcast or print publication at least 3 times no later than 14 days before the deadline.

All notifications must include a non-discrimination statement. As per code: “. . . all prospective students will be given the opportunity to enroll in the public charter school, regardless of race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, gender, social or economic status, or special needs.”

Requests for Admissions IDAPA 80.02.02.203

All requests for admissions must be submitted in writing (electronic or hard copy).

Requests for admission must be received by the enrollment deadline in order to be included in the lottery (consider using a date/time stamp).

Requests shall contain the name, grade level, address, and telephone number of the prospective student.

Requests for more than one child in a family are to be submitted in the same written request, with student information listed separately.

Requests for admission received after the deadline are added to the waitlist, after the lottery, in the order in which they were received.

Guidance: Equitable Selection and Enrollment Process 4

Enrollment Preference Categories I.Cc §33-5206(11)(a)

Returning Students

Once a student accepts an offered seat, that student remains enrolled each year unless the family chooses to withdraw the student or the school chooses to expel the student for a qualifying offense.

If you choose to conduct an “intent to return” survey of enrolled families to help you identify those who intend withdraw at the end of the year, be sure to collect any withdrawals in writing.

First Preference – Children of Founders and Full-time Employees

This preference category should be identified prior to the lottery.

The children of full-time employees may be included in this 10% only if so noted in the school’s petition. Contact the PCSC to discuss the amendment process if you would like to add this preference category.

The total number of children enrolled in the school based on this preference category may not exceed 10% of the school’s total enrollment cap for any given school year.

A child who is offered a seat based on founder’s or employee’s preference is counted as part of the 10% each year he/she remains enrolled in the school.

Be sure your board has established a clear definition of founder in policy.

Second Preference – Siblings

This preference category may only be assigned to a student if he/she has a sibling currently enrolled in the school or a sibling already selected during the current lottery.

Sibling preference does not apply simply because a student has a sibling. Father, it applies when a student becomes a sibling of a student already selected for a seat.

If this is the school’s first lottery, or if a family of siblings are all new applicants, sibling preference cannot be assigned to any student before the lottery begins, but will be assigned to all siblings of a selected student at the time that student is selected during the lottery.

Third Preference – Transfer Agreements

This preference category should be identified prior to the lottery.

This preference category only applies if a pre-existing written agreement between both charter schools has been adopted by the school’s board and is incorporated into the school’s charter on file with the authorizer.

Students eligible for this preference category must have been enrolled for at least 1 year in a charter school with which the receiving school has a written transfer agreement.

Students eligible for this preference category must transfer directly between the charters as outlined in the agreement.

Fourth Preference – Residence in the Primary Attendance Area

This preference category should be identified prior to the lottery. The school’s primary attendance area is defined in the school’s Performance Certificate.

64

Guidance: Equitable Selection and Enrollment Process 5

Fifth Preference – All Other Students

All students for whom a request for admission was received by the deadline who do not qualify for other enrollment preference categories are included in this category.

Conducting the Equitable Selection Process (Lottery) IDAPA 80.02.02.203

General Information

The equitable selection process (drawing of the lottery) must be conducted by a neutral third-party.

All students eligible for preference categories must be identified prior to conducting the selection process. (Remember that some students may not be eligible for sibling preference until the selection process has begun).

Ordering Grades

First, randomly order each grade level your school serves.

Include all grade levels your school serves in this process, even if you don’t have more students than seats in every grade. Because sibling preference is awarded to all children in a family when one child in that family is selected, failing to include all grades served in this first step impacts when a student becomes eligible for sibling preference, and therefore, would negatively impact his/her draw order in the final selection list.

Selecting Students in the First Drawn Grade Level

Begin randomly selecting students in the first grade level drawn

Place each student at the bottom of the highest preference list for which he/she is eligible.

As students are drawn, their siblings become eligible for sibling preference and may be moved to the bottom of that enrollment category in their respective grade levels at that time.

Randomly select all of the students who submitted a request for admissions by the deadline, regardless of how many seats are open.

Place any students in that grade level who submitted a request for admissions after the deadline at the bottom of the fifth enrollment preference category, in the order in which they were received by the school.

Selecting Students in the Second Drawn Grade Level

Begin randomly selecting students in the next grade level drawn.

Place students at the bottom of the highest preference list for which he/she is eligible.

As students are drawn, their siblings become eligible for sibling preference and may be moved to the bottom of that enrollment category in their grade level.

Note that this may require returning to a previously selected grade level to move students who now have sibling status to a higher placement on the final selection list than they originally received.

When the equitable selection process has been completed for all grade levels, siblings have been adjusted appropriately, and late applicants have been added to the bottom of the list, the school’s Final Selection List is complete.

65

Guidance: Equitable Selection and Enrollment Process 6

Offering Seats

The first enrollment offer is made to the student with the highest draw order on the Final Selection List, and then to the second highest, and so on, until as many offers as the school has capacity for have been made.

Families must be notified, in writing, of offers within 7 days of selection.

To accept the offer, the letter must be signed by the legal guardian of the child and returned to the school by the date noted on the letter.

Requesting Records I.C. §33-209

Once a signed acceptance letter has been received by the school the school can request the student’s records from his/her previous school.

The request should be sent in writing.

All public schools in Idaho have 10 business days to transfer the requested records

Once received, records should be reviewed and considered against the school’s Student Placement policy. Reviewing a student’s academic performance can help identify any acceleration or retention needs.

Records should be reviewed and considered against the school’s disciplinary policies to determine whether an incoming student would be best served by a having a behavior plan or other intervention in place on the first day of attendance.

Incoming files should be reviewed by the Special Education Director to verify that all necessary accommodations and modifications are in place on the student’s first day of attendance.

Alerts should be flagged for severe allergies, medical conditions, and active custody orders.

Be sure that both certified and classified staff are properly trained to implement any interventions and respond to any alerts to ensure a safe and effective learning environment for all students.

Registration Paperwork

Registration paperwork must include the data required for student demographic reporting; see the ISEE reporting requirements for details.

Registration paperwork must include medical information and emergency contacts.

Registration paperwork must include a Home Language Survey. A statewide format is provided by the SDE’s English Learner Program.
