[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are a completely separate non profit if they get approval from the IRS, but that's no different than the Lafayette HSA.

If they are going to meet in YY's building and use YY's resources (email lists, copying, place flyers in student backpacks, etc...)[b] they aren't "completely" separate.[/b]

The fact that this school needs it's own nonprofit for the Parents speaks to how dysfunctional the place is. [b]All the other charters manage to do this without forming another nonprofit.[/b]

The nearby private Catholic school allows them to use their theater and track and playground.  Two completely separate non-profits working together.  This does not contradict the law around what non-profits may do.

As for "all the other charters"?  Yu Ying isn't like all the other schools.  There are a lot of highly-educated and independent-minded YY parents with a strong desire for control over the funds they raise.  Most similar type As prefer the same, but few of them can because they don't have the necessary skills.  Good for YY for pulling it off, at such an early stage.
