THIS EXTENSION HAS PROVIDED CRUCIAL SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES, HELPING THEM BETTER BALANCE WORK, SCHOOL, AND CAREGIVING RESPONSIBILITIES. HOWEVER, THIS IMPLEMENTATION CAME WITH CHALLENGES, AS ADJUSTING STAFF SCHEDULES TO COVER THE EXTENDED HOURS SOMETIMES CONFLICTED WITH EMPLOYEES' PERSONAL LIVES, MAKING IT HARDER FOR SOME TO MANAGE THEIR WORK-LIFE BALANCE. ADDITIONALLY, THIS SHIFT DEMANDS MORE OVERSIGHT AND CAREFUL MANAGEMENT OF SCHEDULING BY LEADERSHIP TO ENSURE SMOOTH OPERATIONS. WE ALSO PRIORITIZED FAMILY GOAL-SETTING, RECOGNIZING ITS IMPORTANCE IN FOSTERING ACHIEVEMENT AND A SENSE OF PURPOSE. FAMILY GOALS RANGED FROM READING MORE WITH THEIR CHILDREN TO COMPLETING A GED TO ENROLLING IN ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE COURSES. THROUGH REGULAR FOLLOW-UPS AND SUPPORT TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES, WE SAW STRONG ENGAGEMENT. AS A RESULT, NEARLY ALL FAMILIES PARTICIPATED IN GOAL SETTING AND THE PERCENT OF FAMILIES WHO COMPLETED A GOAL INCREASED FROM 49% IN 2022-23 TO 65% IN 2023-24.OUR COMMUNITY INITIATIVE, EARLY LEARNING WORKS (ELW), EXPANDED ITS OUTREACH TO THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY THIS YEAR. A TOTAL OF 23 EVENTS AND PROGRAMS WERE DELIVERED IN SPANISH AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS ACROSS TULSA. ELW ALSO LAUNCHED AN EXCITING NEW PROGRAM AIMED AT ENCOURAGING HISPANIC INDIVIDUALS TO PURSUE CAREERS AS LICENSED CHILD CARE PROVIDERS. IN RESPONSE TO COMPETITIVE PRESSURES AROUND EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION, WE PROACTIVELY APPLIED FOR AN ENROLLMENT REDUCTION TO THE OFFICE OF HEAD START. THIS ENABLED US TO INCREASE TEACHER PAY AND MAKE OUR COMPENSATION MORE COMPETITIVE. IT ALSO HELPED US BETTER MANAGE RISING OPERATIONAL COSTS. WHILE WE DECREASED OUR HEAD START SLOTS FROM 436 TO 372, WE MAINTAINED OUR ENROLLMENT USING ONE-TIME FUNDING FOR THE SLOTS NO LONGER FUNDED BY HEAD START WITH THE HOPE OF SECURING NEW HEAD START FUNDING IN THE FUTURE.FINALLY, TULSA EDUCARE ADOPTED CORE MEASURES THIS YEAR. THESE KEY METRICS ALLOW US TO QUANTITATIVELY TRACK OUR PROGRESS YEAR OVER YEAR. GIVEN THE ABUNDANCE OF DATA WE HAVE, THIS PROCESS HELPS US SHARPEN OUR FOCUS AND DIRECT OUR EFFORTS WHERE THEY ARE MOST IMPACTFUL. 23284122 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 63 0 371 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 OK X BRAD WEBER 9189602306 3110 E SEMINOLE STREET TULSA OK 74110 GEORGE KAISER CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ANNIE KOPPEL VAN HANKEN BOARD PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MARIA MORRIS CHAIRMAN, POLICY COUNCIL 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MIKE BURKE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DEBBIE DEIBERT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 FREDERIC DORWART DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PHIL FROHLICH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DEBORAH GIST DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DON MILLICAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RAY OWENS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MIMI TARRASCH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 EBONY JOHNSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA DECKER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 153773 0 34826 BRAD WEBER DIRECTOR OF FINANCE 40.00 X 115846 0 26785 LINDSEY ASHER CHIEF HUMAN RESOURCE OFFICER 40.00 X 121488 0 4394 391107 0 66005 3 0 1 0 UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA 201 STEPHENSON PARKWAY STE 3100 NORMAN OK 73072 CLASSROOM & STUDENT EVALUATION SERVICE 512158 TULSA PUBLIC SCHOOLS 3027 S NEW HAVEN AVE TULSA OK 74114 JANITORIAL SERVICES 380156 JEWEL'S PLACE ENRICHMENT CHILDCARE INC 9300 N 98TH E CT QWASSO OK 74055 CHILDCARE SERVICES PARTNER 233183 PINE PREMIER CHILD CARE INC 518 EAST PINE ST TULSA OK 74106 CHILDCARE SERVICES PARTNER 204431 HAPPY HANDS EDUCATION CENTER INC 8801 S GARNETT RD BROKEN ARROW OK 74012 CHILDCARE SERVICES PARTNER 203973 7 10120590 11344981 21465571 CHILDCARE SUBSIDIES 611600 2843075 2843075 TUITION FEES 611600 18385 18385 2861460 45249 45249 1405807 1392926 12881 12881 12881 550 550 550 24385711 2861460 0 58680 483557 483557 13716542 13076840 639702 209763 205584 4179 2409792 2279761 130031 1139626 1054425 85201 209886 209886 16414 16414 1561613 1556828 4785 783 783 903190 883552 19638 93790 88747 5043 555425 548228 7197 22193 18447 3746 311030 232770 78260 1170790 1170790 126066 116218 9848 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 1034708 1017718 16990 FOOD & KITCHEN COSTS 779730 779730 RECRUITING 111271 111271 155551 142430 13121 25011720 23284122 1727598 0 2901316 3426408 1231456 111969 8018282 7851655 177958 207269 218145 157443 29634835 9545814 20840429 20089021 458849 1759443 33846435 33603208 1272874 1486265 500000 530000 1772874 2016265 X 26467949 26206146 5605612 5380797 32073561 31586943 33846435 33603208 -626009 139391 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 24634107 22609201 20278548 20873540 21465571 109860967 24634107 22609201 20278548 20873540 21465571 109860967 13254396 96606571 5397 8839 7376 5576 45249 72437 7857 250 102 550 8759 109942163 5548120 0.87870 0.87210 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 15450705 6194922 9255783 11554748 1611989 9942759 2536030 1738903 797127 93352 93352 20089021 X 24695439 139391 186751 326142 24369297 16414 16414 24385711 25182057 186751 186751 24995306 16414 16414 25011720 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION ASSESSES WHETHER IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT A TAX POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION OF THE TECHNICAL MERITS OR THE POSITION, ASSUMING THE TAXING AUTHORITY HAS FULL KNOWLEDGE OF ALL INFORMATION.
