There is no legal non-profit corporation

In my last posting I noted that the Board of Directors of the non-profit corporation that plans to run the school was self-appointed. Although the bylaws were submitted to the state there is no evidence that the non-profit has even been recognized by the IRS. All non-profits must receive what is known as an IRS letter in order to function. No IRS letter was submitted with the charter petition and so the non-profit cannot yet be said to even exist and cannot be considered as the applicant. In effect, the charter petition was submitted by the LWIP Administrative Council (AC). This is an important detail to note to the District's attorney who referred to the applicant as a non-profit corporation at the April 17th board meeting when there isn't any evidence that one yet exists.

In either case, this may be an issue for the Marin DA to investigate for any possible Brown Act violations by either the AC or non-profit since both organizations appear to have operated without adhering to laws and principles of transparency, good governance, and accountability.
