MASON CLASSICAL ACADEMY, INC.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management of Mason Classical Academy (the "School"), offers the following narrativeoverview and analysis of the financial activities of the School for the fiscal year ended June 30,2016. Readers are encouraged to use this information in conjunction with information furnishedin the School's financial statements. This summary should not be taken as a replacement forthe audit, which consists of the basic financial statements and other supplemental information.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
+ The School's total net position increased compared to prior year.
+ For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the School's revenues exceeded expenses byapproximately $780,000.
+ For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the School ended with a net position of 1,103,604.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to School's basic financialstatements. The School's basic financial statements consist of three components: 1)government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements and 3) notes to the financialstatements. The basic financial statements present two different views of the School throughthe use of government-wide statements and fund financial statements. In addition to the basicfinancial statements, this report contains other supplemental information to enhance thereaders understanding of the financial condition of School. This document also includes the
Independent AuditorsReport on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Complianceand Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance WithGovernment Auditing Standards, as well as the management letter required by the Rules of theAuditor General, Chapter 10.850, Audits of Charter Schools and Similar Entities.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide a broad overview of the
School's finances, similar in format to a financial statement of a private-sector business. The
government-wide statements provide short and long-term information about the School'sfinancial status as a whole.
The two government-wide statements report the School's net position and the current yearchanges. The net position is the difference between the School's total assets and totalliabilities. Measuring the net position is one way to evaluate the School's financial condition.
The government-wide statements are divided into three categories: 1) governmental activities,2) business-type activities and 3) component units. The governmental activities include theSchool's basic services. The business-type activities are those that the School charges forcertain services. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the School had no business-type activitiesor component units.
2/12/2020 4:40 PM Electronically Filed: Hillsborough County/13th Judicial Circuit Page 30
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide a more detailed look at the School's most significantactivities. A fund is a group of related accounts used to maintain control over resources
segregated for specific activities or objectives. All of the operations of the School are presentedin governmental funds only.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for those functions reported as governmentalactivities. The School's basic services are accounted for in governmental funds. These fundsfocus on how assets can readily be converted into cash flow in and out, and what money left at
year-end is available for spending in the next year. Governmental funds are reported using an
accounting method called modified accrual accounting. This method also has a current financialresources focus. As a result, the governmental fund financial Oatements provide a detailedshort-term view of the financial resources available to finance the School's programs. The
relationship between governmental activities (reported in the Statement of Net Position and the
Statement of Activities) and governmental funds is described in a reconciliation that is a part ofthe fund financial statements.
The School adopts an annual budget for its general fund, as required by the Florida Statutes.
The budget is legally adopted by management of the School and its Board. The budgetarycomparison schedule has been included as part of the required supplementary information. The
budgetary comparison schedule shows four cplumns: 1) the original budget as adopted by the
Board, 2) the final budget as amended by the Board, 3) the actual resources, charges and
ending balances in the general fund, and 4) the- variance between the final budget and theactual resources and charges.
Notes to Financial Statements
The notes to financial statements provide additional information essential to the full
understanding of the information reported in the government-wide and fund financialstatements. The notes to the financial statements start on page 15 of this report.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE SCHOOL'S FUNDS
Governmental Funds
The focus of School's governmental funds is to provide information on near term inflows,outflows, and balances of usable resources. Such information is useful in assessing School's
financing requirements. Specifically, unassigned fund balance is a useful measure of a
government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As the School completed the year, its governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of
$251,461.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
During the fiscal year, the School did not amend its budget. Generally, budget amendments fallinto one of three categories: 1) amendments made to adjust the estimates that are used to
prepare the original budget once exact information is available; 2) amendments made to
recognize changes in funding amounts; and 3) changes in appropriations that become
necessary to maintain services.
In the general fund, actual revenues exceeded budgeted a 'rnsounts by approximately $344,000.The variance in budget amounts is primarily due to additional contributions received that the
School did not budget for. Expenditures were approxirnately $140,000 less than budgetedamounts, which was a result of monitoring expenditures on a function level.
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
At the end of fiscal 2016, the School had' invested approximately $1,700,000 in capital assets,net of accumulated depreciation of approxitnately
$179,000.,Governmental Activities Increase

This year's major capital asset additions included the following:
• Leasehold improvements - $928,000• Computers and software - $11,600• Furniture, fixtures and equipment - $90,000
More detailed information about the School's capital assets is presented in Note 3 to thefinancial statements.

2/12/2020 4:40 PM Electronically Filed: Hillsborough County/13th Judicial Circuit Page 34
Long-term Liabilities
Long-term liabilities increased approximately $1,450,000 due to new borrowings in the current
year less current year principal payments of approximately $83,000. The school paid interest of
approximately $87,000 during fiscal year June 30, 2016. More detailed information about theSchool's long-term liabilities is presented in Note 4 to the financial statements.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET
Budget Highlights for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017
Amounts available for appropriation in the general fund are approximately $7.6 million, an
increase of approximately $2.5 million over the actual 2016 amount. The change is due to a
budgeted increase in student population to 811, as compared to 679 as of the end of fiscal2016.
Budgeted expenditures in the general fund are approximately $7.3 million, an increase of
approximately $2.1 million, inclusive of other financing soUrces. The increase is primarily due to
an additional instructional personnel and other operating cost to accommodate the increase in
student population.
If these estimates are realized, the School's general fund balance is expected to increase by the
fiscal year ending June 30, 2017.

Report of Independent Auditors on Basic Financial Statementsand Supplementary Information
To the Board of Directors of Mason Classical Academy, Inc.
a Charter School and Component Unit of the DistrictSchool Board of Collier County, Florida
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and
each major fund of Mason Classical Academy, a Charter School and Component Unit of theDistrict School Board of Collier County, Florida, (the "School") as of and for the year ended June
30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the
School's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financialstatements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevantto the preparation and fair presentation ofAfinancial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.V,
AuditorsResponsibility wt47
Our responsibility is to express opinions 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 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 in the financial statements. The 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 error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.

Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,the respective financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of the
School, as of June 30, 2016, and the respective changes in financial position, for the year thenended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
managemenfs discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information on pages 1 - 6and 26 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, althoughnot a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental AccountingStandards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing thebasic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We
have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information inaccordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, whichconsisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and
comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, thebasic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basicfinancial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on theinformation because the limited procedures do not provide_us with sufficient evidence to expressan opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
August 20, 2016, on our consideration of the School's internal control over financial reportingand on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and
grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our
testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing,and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That
report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government AuditingStandards in considering the School's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MASON CLASSICAL CHARTER ACADEMY, INC.
A Charter School and Component Unit of theDistrict School Board of Collier County, Florida
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2016
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Mason Classical Academy (the "School"), is a not-for-profit corporation that operates under a
charter approved by the sponsoring district, the District School Board of Collier County Florida
(the "School Board"). The governing body of the School is the Board of Directors of School,which is composed of at least three members.
Charter Contract
The current charter expires June 30, 2017 and may be renewed for a maximum of an additionalfifteen years by mutual written agreement between the SChool and the School Board. Upon the
expiration of the charter, the School Board may elect not to renew the charter under groundsspecified in the charter. In this case, the School Board is reqUired to notify the School in writingat least 90 days prior to the charter expiration. However, the School Board may terminate thecurrent charter at any time if good cause is :sbown. In the event of termination of the charter,any property purchased by the School witlikeib,lic funds and any unencumbered public fundsrevert back to the School Board.
Basis of Presentation
Based on the guidance provided in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Auditand Accounting Guide — Audits for States and Local Governments and provisions in the Florida
Statutes, the School is considered as a governmental organization for financial statement
reporting purposes. The School is required by its agreement with the School Board to use the
governmental reporting model and, follow the fund and accounting structure provided in the"Financial and Prograni Cost Accounting and Reporting for Florida Schools — The Red Book"issued by the FDOE.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements provide both short-term and long-term informationabout the School in a manner similar to those of a private-sector business. The statement ofnet position and statement of activities are designed to provide financial information as a wholeabout the School on an accrual basis of accounting. The statement of net position providesinformation about the School's financial position, its assets and liabilities, using an economicresources measurement focus.
The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and programrevenue for each function or program of the School's governmental activities. Direct expensesare those that are specifically associated with a program or function, therefore, are clearlyidentifiable to a particular function.

(continued)
Program revenues include charges paid by the recipient for goods and services offered by the
program, grants and contributions restricted for meeting the operational or capital requirementsof a particular program. Revenues not classified as program revenues are presented as
general revenue.
Fund Financial Statements
The governmental fund financial statements report detailed information about the School's most
significant funds, not the School as a whole. A fund is a group of related accounts used tomaintain control over resources segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Schooluses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance related requirements.Certain funds are established by law while others are created by grant agreements. The
following are major individual governmental funds reported in the fund financial statements:
• General Fund — is the School's primary operating fund that accounts for all financialresources of the school, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
• Capital Projects Fund — to account for all resources for the acquisition of capital items bythe School purchased with capital outlay funds.
• Debt Service Fund — to account for the accumulation of resources for, and payment of
general long-term debt principal, interest, arid related costs.
For the purpose of these statements, the general, capital projects and debt service funds are
considered major funds.
Basis of Accounting --
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenses/expenditures are recognized in theaccounts and reports in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of themeasurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied.
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting.Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses/expenditures are recognized when a
liability is incurred, regardless of the timing the related cash flows take place.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the modified accrual basis of
accounting. Under this method, revenues, except for certain grant revenues, are recognizedwhen they become measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when
they are collectable within a current period. The School considers revenues to be available if
they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal year. When grant terms providethat the expenditure of resources is the prime factor for determining eligibility for Federal, State,and other grant resources, revenues are recognized at the time the expenditure is made.
Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal andinterest on long-term debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are
recognized when due. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in

governmental funds. Proceeds of general long-term debt and acquisition of capital leases are
reported as other financing sources.
Budgetary Basis Accounting
Budgets are prepared using the modified accrual basis of accounting and the governing boardmust approve all budgets and amendments. During the fiscal year, expenditures were controlledat the object level. Budgets may be amended by resolution of the Board prior to the date of theannual report.
Cash and Cash Equivalents ,43The School's cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of demand deposits with financialinstitutions.
The School maintains its cash with one financial institution. The School's accounts at this
institution, at times, may exceed the federally insured limit. The School has not experienced anylosses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant risks.
Capital Assets and Depreciation
The School's capital assets with useful lives of more than one year are stated at historical costand reported in the statement of net position in the government-wide financial statements.Donated capital assets are recorded at their estimated fair value on the date of donation. The
School capitalizes assets with a coSt of $750 or more. Expenditures of normal maintenance and
repair that do not add to the assets value or extend the useful lives are not capitalized.Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the assets
are as follows:Years
Leasehold improvements 10
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3-7
Interfund Transfers
The School reports its general fund, capital projects fund and debt service fund as major funds.For the year ended June 30, 2016, the general fund transferred approximately $370,000 to theother funds for the current year capital projects expenditures and debt service payments.

Net Position and Fund Balance Classifications
Government-Wide financial statements
Net Position is classified and reported in three components:
Investment in capital assets, net of related debt — consists of capital assets net ofaccumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowingsthat are attributed to the acquisition or improvement of those assets.
Restricted — consists of amounts with constraints placed on their use either by external
groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other
governments.Unrestricted — all other amounts that do not meet the definition of "restricted" or
"invested in capital assets, net of related debt."
Fund financial statements
GASB Codification Section 1800.142, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund TypeDefinitions, defines the different types of fund balances that a governmental entity must use for
financial repotting purposes. GASB requires the fund balance amounts to be reported withinone of the following fund balance categories:
• Nonspendable — fund balance associated with inventories, prepaid expenses, long-termloans and notes receivable, and property held for resale (unless the proceeds are
restricted, committed or assigned). All nonspendable fund balances at year end relate to
assets that are in not spendable form.• Restricted — fund balance category includes amounts that can be spent only for the
specific purposes stipulated by the constitution, external resource providers, or throughenabling legislation.
• Committed — fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the
specific purposes determined by a formal action of the School's Board of Governance.• Assigned — fund balance classification includes amounts that are intended to be used by
the School's management for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to beclassified as restricted or committed.
• Unassigned — fund balance that is the residual amount for the School's general fund andincludes all spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications.
This statement also clarifies the definition of the special revenue fund to denote that the specialrevenue may be used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than trustfor individual, private organizations or other governmental or for major capital projects) legallyrestricted to expenditures for specified purposes.

Order of Fund Balance Spending Policy
The School's policy is to apply expenditures against non-spendable fund balance, restrictedfund balance, committed fund balance, assigned fund balance, and unassigned fund balance at
the end of the fiscal year. First, non-spendable fund balances are determined. Then restrictedfund balances for specific purposes are determined (not including non-spendable amounts).Any remaining fund balance amounts for the non-general funds are classified as restricted fundbalance. It is possible for non-general funds to be classified as restricted fund balance. It isalso possible for the non-general funds to have negative unassigned fund balance when non-
spendable amounts plus the restricted fund balances for specific purposes amounts exceed the
positive fund balance for the non-general fund.
Revenue Sources
Revenues for operations are received primarily from the District School Board of Collier CountyFlorida pursuant to the funding provisions included in the School's charter. In accordance with
the funding provisions of the charter and Section 1002.33, Florida Statutes, the School reportsthe number of full-time equivalent (FTE) students and related data to the School District. TheSchool Board receives a 5% administrative`fee from the School, which is withheld from the
respective FEFP payments. The administrative expense is reflected as a general administration
expense/expenditure in the accompanying statement of activities and statement of revenues,
expenditures and changes in fund balances — governmental funds. The administrative fee is
calculated on the FEFP revenue up to 250 students.
Under provisions of Section 1011.62, Florida Statutes, the District reports the number of
students and related data to the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) for funding throughthe Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP). Funding for the School is adjusted during the
year to reflect the revised calculations by the FDOE under the FEFP and the actual weightedfull-time equivalent students reported by the School during the designated full-time equivalentstudent survey period. The FDOE may also adjust subsequent fiscal period allocations basedon an audit of the School's compliance in determining and reporting FTE and related data.
Generally, such adjustments are treated as reductions or additions of revenues in the year when
the adjustments are made.
The basic amount of funding through the FEFP under Section 1011.62 is calculated based on
(1) unweighted FTE, multiplied by (2) the cost factor for each program multiplied by (3) the basestudent allocation established by the Florida legislature. Additional funds for exceptionalstudents who do not have a matrix of services are provided through the guaranteed allocation
designated in Section 1011.62(1)(e)2., Florida Statutes. For the year ended June 30, 2016, theSchool reported 678.86 unweighted FTE.
The School received additional funding under other federal and state grants. This assistance is
generally received based on applications submitted to various granting agencies. For federaland state grants in which funding is awarded based on incurring eligible expenditures, revenue
is recognized as the amount of eligible expenditures have been incurred.

Recently Issued Accounting Principles
In February 2015, the GASB issued Statement 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application.GASB 72 provides guidance for accounting and financial reporting issues related to fair value
measurements. This statement also provides guidance for applying fair value to certaininvestments and disclosures related to all fair value measurement. The provisions of theStatement are effective for financial statements for periods beginning after June 15, 2016.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally acceptedin the United States, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affectthe reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues
and expenses/expenditures for the period presented. Actual results could differ significantlyfrom those estirnates.
2 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) define fair value for an
investment generally as the price an organization would receive upon selling the investment inan orderly transaction to an independent buyer in`Ihe principal or most advantageous market forthe investment The information available to meastire fair value varies depending on the natureof each investment and its market or rnarkets. Accordingly, GAAP recognizes a hierarchy of
"inputs" an organization may use in determining or estimating fair value. The inputs are
categorized into "levels" that relate to the extent to which an input is objectively observable andthe extent to which markets exist for identical or comparable investments. In determining or
estimating fair value, an organization is required to maximize the use of observable market data
(to the extent available) and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The hierarchy assigns the
highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical items (Level 1 inputs)and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).
The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between independent observable inputs andunobservable inputs used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilitiesthat the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are
observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for an asset or liability. Level 3 inputs should be used tomeasure fair value to the extent that observable level 1 or 2 inputs are not available.

This statement requires disclosures to be made about fair value measurements, the level of fairvalue hierarchy, and valuation techniques. The School's significant financial instruments are
cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short term borrowings, and other short termassets and liabilities. For these financial instruments (level 1), carrying values approximate fairvalue because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Independent Auditor's Report on Internal Control OverFinancial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based
On an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in AccordanceWith Government Auditing Standards
To the Board of Directors of Mason Classical Academy, Inc.A Charter School and Component Unit of the DistrictSchool Board of Collier County, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the UnitedStates of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financialstatements of the governmental activities and each major fund of Mason Classical Academy, Inc
(the "School"), a charter school and component unit of the District School Board of Collier
County, Florida, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016, and the related notes to thefinancial statements, which collectively comprise the School's basic financial statements, andhave issued our report thereon dated August 20, 2016:Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the School'sinternal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of 'expressjng an opinion on the effectiveness of theSchool's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness ofSchool's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to
prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the entitys financial statements will not be prevented,or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yetimportant enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraphof this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might bematerial weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we
did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.
However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

2/12/2020 4:40 PM Electronically Filed: Hillsborough County/13th Judicial Circuit Page 56
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the School's financial statements are
free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of
laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a
direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However,providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and
accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instanceof noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government AuditingStandards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness ofthe entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity'sinternal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other
purpose.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management of the School, theDistrict School Board of Collier County, Florida, the Florida Department of Education and theFlorida Auditor General and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other thanthese specified parties. v2*,

Hello, Mr.
Baird-,Please see attached documentation supporting the school's purchase of amazon gift cards from Scrip,and the use of those cards to purchase books and supplies on amazon.com.
A note on amazon purchasing-
We may place a $3,000.00 order for books on amazon. However, this purchase will actually be
charged to our debit card or applied to a gift card only when items within the order are shipped. Thisresults in hundreds of transactions. l reconcile every single one, but most of my amazon records are
not scanned.
Since you have access to MCAs amazon account, you are able to see all purchases and pull reportsfor account activity. You are also welcome to audit my paper files for amazon purchases.
I hope the attached satisfies any questions you had regarding the amazon gift card purchases. PleaseI let me know if you have additional questions.
Thank You

Hi David,
I want to thank you for the efforts you are making - it means a lot to us. I think you and I share a
common vision for what the school should be, even if we don't always see eye to eye on everything. Ialso want to repeat what Sarah has told you in the past: you are one of the very few people that we are
willing to entrust our children's formation to. That is one of the highest compliments I can pay anyone.
I want to apologize for my behavior in our meeting the other day. I became upset and allowed myemotions to dictate a lot of things that were said. Consequently, I'm afraid I did a bad job of articulatingour concerns, and it looks like I miscommunicated some very important things. I have a terrible tendencyto become combative when faced with differing views and opinions. For that I'm very sorry, and I am
going to take a back seat in this conversation because I think my involvement is counter productive.Sarah is going to handle things from here. Please know that behind my rough exterior is someone who
greatly appreciates the hard work you do.
Our concerns are nonetheless real though, and I don't think they are insurmountable. Sarah is going toclear things up when she meets with you, and she is making great progress in talking directly to a
number of teachers. You do have a lot of great teachers at MCA.
Thanks for your understanding and willingness to address our concerns.

Mr. Marshall,
It's a simple question really, and as the compliance officer I know you understand this.
Is there a policy at MCA forbidding homeschoolers from participating in sports?
Thanks,
Joe

You have not presented a Florida High School Athletic Association rule that allows Homeschool students to participate in CharterSchool sports teams.
If such a rule exists, it would also have to say that Charter schools "musr allow home school students to participate in their sportsprogram. Since there are thousands of home school students, Chatter schools would have to leave the Florida High School Athletic
Association, if very many applied.
Now, for us to proceed, you might want to provide why you think Homeschool students are "allowed" to participate in Charter School
sports teams.

Again, you didn't answer my question.
If home schoolers are not permitted to participate in sports at MCA, I would like to know why not. I can only think of 2 reasons:
1. It is illegal for home schoolers to attend2. MCA has a policy banning home schoolers
Which of those two reasons is it?

Mr. Baird,
I am the MCA Compliance Officer. One of my responsibilities is to answer questions like yours. I would like to helpnavigate us through this question by starting from the beginning:
1. What gives you the impression that Charter schools must take on Home School students onto their sports teams?What statute, rule or other requirement requires that? Please provide the link and exact language you believe
requires it.
If it is an extract from this document, I found the following words In blue that you may be referencing. You will note that it
only applies to public schools operated by the district. MCA is not operated by the district. It is operated by the MCA Board.
V. Home Education Students —
These student must be registered with the Home Education Office of the school district (County) in which they reside. As pers. 1006.15(3)(c), Florida Statutes, these students are eligible to participate at:
The public school the student would be assigned according to district school board attenda»ce area policies (i.e. zoned
school); or
• The public school, operated by the school district. the student could choose to attend according to the "Controlled OpenEnrollmenr provisions of the school district and provided the deadlines established in the provisions are rnet by the student

Hello Mrs. Baird,
The reason it is not on the board agenda is because we have discussed with our
attorney, and it has been firmly established that home school students mayparticipate in sports at their zoned school, but not at Mason Classical Academy.MCA will not have home school students participate in its sports program. Thedocumentation you sent prior does not pertain to our status.
l have bcc'd our attorney on this email in case he would like to participate in this
discussion.

Hi David,
l was just looking at the agenda for theBoard meeting this Tuesday and l noticedthat the issue of participation in MCA
sports for home schoolers is not listed. lknow you mentioned that you woulddiscuss this at the June meeting, butthere is very little on the agenda for this
upcoming meeting so l was wondering ifthere is a reason it can't be added to thisone.
