The guidance for accounting standards for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Organization may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more than likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Organization and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There are no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for fiscal year ended August 31, 2022. true true true true true true true false false false false false false false false false false true Schedule E, Line 3 - Racially Nondiscriminatory Policy Publicized Schedule E, Line 4 - Explanation of Records and Materials Not Maintained Schedule E, Line 5 - Explanation of Organization Discrimination by Race false ANNUAL GALA 123371 123371 31094 capital campaign 64764 64764 188135 188135 31094 31094 -31094 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b THE SCHOOL'S EXTERNAL AUDITOR REVIEWS THE FORM 990 WITH THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AND THE FINANCE COMMITTEE SUBMITS THE FORM 990 TO THE ENTIRE BOARD FOR REVIEW.
