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 I, LINE 1A
THE SCHOOL PROVIDES HOUSING AND CERTAIN PERSONAL SERVICES RELATED TO THE MAINTENANCE AND CARE OF THE RESIDENCE AS PART OF THE HEAD OF SCHOOL'S EMPLOYMENT. THIS IS PROVIDED FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF THE EMPLOYER SO THAT THE HEAD OF SCHOOL CAN PERFORM ESSENTIAL SCHOOL BUSINESS AND ACTIVITIES AT THE HOME. IN ADDITION, CERTAIN ADMINISTRATORS ARE PROVIDED WITH DISCRETIONARY SPENDING ACCOUNTS. THESE ACCOUNTS ARE TO BE USED FOR SCHOOL-RELATED EXPENDITURES AS SEEN FIT BY THE ADMINISTRATOR AND THE HEAD OF SCHOOL. THE DISCRETIONARY SPENDING ACCOUNT FOR THE CFO IS NOT PART OF AN ACCOUNTABLE PLAN, AND THEREFORE IS INCLUDED ON FORM 1099 AS TAXABLE COMPENSATION.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
