LEU is an outdated organizational and legal form of an educational organization. But many institutions operate "the old fashioned way" and still have not brought their constituent documents in line with the amendments to the law. In order not to run into a fine, it's time to think about reorganization. According to Art. 17 of the Law "On Non-Profit Organizations" NOU can be transformed into an Autonomous Non-Profit Organization.
Conversion of LEU to ANO can be conditionally divided into 3 stages. And its order is as follows.
Stage 1
- To begin with, a decision on reorganization is drawn up (or a protocol, if there are several participants in the institution). To this end, only one issue can be specified as the agenda: “To reorganize the Non-State Educational Institution Primary School“Romashka”in the form of transformation and create an Autonomous Non-Profit Organization Primary School“Romashka”through this reorganization”.
- A notification is filled out in accordance with the P12003 form, which reflects the information that the reorganization procedure has begun. In this case, the applicant is the head of the non-governmental educational institution or a trustee. The applicant's signature is certified by a notary.
The above documents should be taken to the Ministry of Justice no later than 3 days from the moment the decision was made to carry out the reorganization. Namely: decision (protocol) 2 copies, notification form 2 copies (1 certified).
Stage 2
After the Ministry of Justice gave an answer that the reorganization procedure has begun, an announcement is submitted to Vestnik (first for 30 days, then for another 30 days).
Stage 3
Further, the constituent documents are being prepared for the newly-minted Autonomous Non-Commercial Organization (charter, decision (protocol) on the reorganization and creation of an ANO with the approval of the charter and the appointment of governing bodies), form R12001, deed of transfer.
The above documents should be taken to the Ministry of Justice no later than 5 days from the date of the decision on reorganization. Namely: 3 copies of the charter, notification in the form of 2 pieces (1 certified), decision or protocol - 3 copies, a copy of the publication from the "Bulletin", 2 copies of the deed of transfer, a document confirming payment of the state fee (4000 rubles).
