Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)
- Part II, Compensation from Unrelated Organizations
- PART II, LINE 1B, (i) Dr. Barbara Firestone's base compensation includes $1,052,548 for vacation time she accrued over 48 years of employment, which was paid out upon her retirement. The accrual accumulated because she belonged to a grandfathered group that has no vacation cap.PART II, LINE 1B, (iii) Dr. Barbara Firestone has both a 457(B) and 457(F) retirement plan. From 2003 to 2023, she contributed $359,212 of her salary into the 457(b) plan. Through investment growth, her contribution increased by $463,925, resulting in a total payout of $823,137. Additionally, from 2022 to 2023, Dr. Firestone contributed $83,700 from her salary into the plan, and with interest, she received a total payout of $85,440. Dr. Susan Berman has a 457 (F) retirement plan. Dr. Berman contributed $400,000 from 2018 2021 from her salary into this plan and by investing it, her contribution grew by $113,151 over 6 years resulting in a total payout of $513,151.
