Agenda for the Regular Meeting of the Board of Directors
Live Oak Charter School Multi-purpose room
January 14, 2016
Mission & Program
To ensure the humanity and potential of its students through an education resonant with their unfolding awareness and
capacities, and supportive of the full and integrated development of body, heart, and mind. LOCS provides a K-8
program inspired by Waldorf education to children and families of Petaluma and surrounding communities. Waldorf
inspired education is a developmental approach to learning that cultivates the innate capacities of each child through
age appropriate curriculum. Live Oak educates the whole child – head, heart, and hands, through an education that
integrates each child’s creative, intellectual, emotional, physical and social domains. Live Oak offers an
interdisciplinary liberal arts program where art, music, and movement are integrated with core academic instruction.
Exploration of the natural world, human culture, language and mathematics enlivens curiosity which is the foundation
of intellectual growth, conceptual flexibility, empathy and sense of connectedness.

Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
these financial statements based
on our
audit.
We
conducted our audit in
accordance
with auditing
standards generally
accepted in the
United States
of
America and the
stanáards applicable
to financial audits
contained
in
Government Auditing
Slandards,
issued by
the
Comptroller Gäneral
of the
United States. Those standards require that
we
plan
and
peform ihe audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the
financial statements are free
from
material misstatement.
An audit
involves performing procedures
to obtain
audit evidence about
the
amounts and disclosures
inthe
financial statements.
t-nè
procedures selected depend
on the
auditor's judgment'
including
the
assessment of the risks of material
misstatement
of the financial
statements'
whether due to fraud
or
or considers
internal
control
relevant
to the
entity's
tements in order
to
design audit procedures that
are
pose of expressing
an
opinion
on
the
effectiveness of
s no
such opinion.
An audit
also includes
evaluating
and
the
reasonableness
of
significant
accounting
aluating
the
overall presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
we
believe that

in
providing program-related services,
raising
contributions, and performing
administrative functions.
Temporarilv restricted net assets: Net assets
that are
subject
to
donor-imposed stipulations
that
will be met either by actions
of
the
Organization

stipulated
time
restriction
ends
or
purpose restriction

of
the
income earned
on
the related
investments

- basis of accounting
The
financial statements were prepared
in
accordance
with
accounting principles
generally
accepted in the
United States
of America as
applicable
to
not-for-profit organizations. Basis
of
accounting refers
to
when revenues and expenses
are
recognized in
the
accounts and
reported
on the financial
statements.
Basis
of
accounting related
to
the timing
of
measurement
made,

of the
measurement
focus applied,
The
Organization uses
the
accrual basis
of
accounting. Revenues are recognized when they are earned and expenditures are recognized
inthe accounting period
inwhich the liability
is incurred.
C.
Use of estimates
The
preparation
of
financial statements
in
conformity
with
accounting principles
generally
accepted
in the
United States
of
America requires management
to
make estimates
and
assumptions
that affect certain
reported amounts
and disclosures.
Accordingly,
actual
results
could differ
from
those
estimates.
D.
lncome
taxes
The Organization
is
exempt from
income
taxes under lnternal Revenue Code
Section
501(c)(3).
lt

subject
to
income
taxes from activities
unrelated
to
its
tax-exempt purpose.
The
Organization
uses
the
same
accounting methods
for
tax
and
financial
reporting.
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provides accounting and disclosure
guidance
about
positions
taken by an entity in its tax
returns
that might be
uncertain. Management
hasconsidered its
tax
positions
and
believes
that all of the
positions
taken in its federal and
state
exempt organization
tax
returns
are
more likely
than
not
to
be sustained
upon
examination.
The
Organization's
returns
are
subject
to
examination
by
federal
and
state taxing
authorities,
generally
for
three years
and four
years, respectively,
after
they
are filed,
E.
Cash
and
cash
equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents are from time
to
time variously composed
of
cash
on
hand,
cash
inbanks, and liquid
investments
with original maturities
of
three
months
or
less,F.
Fixed
assets
Fixed assets
are
recorded
at
cost and
depreciated
under
the
straightline method over
their
estimated useful lives
of
5
to
10
years.
Repair and maintenance costs, which
do
not extend
the
useful lives
of
the
asset, are charged
to expense.
The cost of assets sold
or
retired and
related
amounts
of
accumulated depreciation
are
eliminated
from the
accounts
in the year of
disposal,
and
any
resulting gain
or
loss is included
in
the earnings,
Management has elected to
capitalize
and depreciate all assets costing $5,000 or more; all other assets are charged to expense
in the
year
incurred.
