FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C: PARENT SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM (PSP) MAY 1, 2020 APRIL 30, 2021 MALDEF'S PARENT SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM, OR PSP, ESTABLISHED IN 1989, IS A NATIONWIDE, 12-WEEK, ENGLISH/SPANISH PARENT-ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM THAT HAS PROVIDED INSTRUCTION TO OVER 14,350 PARENTS IN LOS ANGELES, ATLANTA, CHICAGO, SAN ANTONIO, HOUSTON, ALBUQUERQUE, PHOENIX, AND SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA. PSP-TRAINED PROFESSIONALS HAVE ALSO REACHED THOUSANDS MORE IN CITIES, SUBURBS, SMALL TOWNS AND RURAL COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE NATION. WITH A COMPREHENSIVE, HANDS-ON CURRICULUM BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE THAT PARENTS MUST BE WELL-INFORMED OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT COME WITH GUIDING THEIR CHILDREN THROUGH THE PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM, ALONG WITH IN-DEPTH DETAIL AND STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO MEET AND OVERCOME POTENTIAL CHALLENGES, PSP PARENTS GRADUATE CONFIDENT THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THE RIGHTS THEY POSSESS TO CLOSE THE EQUITY OF OPPORTUNITY GAP THAT EXISTS FOR LATINO STUDENTS. PARENTS LEARN TO BECOME ADVOCATES FOR SCHOOL-WIDE SYSTEMIC REFORM AND LONG-TERM CIVIC ENGAGEMENT TO BENEFIT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. NATIONWIDE PSP HIGHLIGHTS (CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK AND RESPONSE) THIS FISCAL YEAR, MALDEF PSP PROGRAMMING WAS GREATLY IMPACTED BY THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK AND THE MEASURES TAKEN TO STOP THE SPREAD OF THE DISEASE. NUMEROUS EVENTS WERE CANCELED, INCLUDING ALL IN-PERSON CLASSES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IN RESPONSE, THE PSP TEAM CONTINUED TO WORK REMOTELY TO CREATE RESOURCES TO SHARE WITH FAMILIES THROUGH AN ON-LINE PLATFORM. THIS ON-LINE PLATFORM ALLOWS PSP STAFF TO COMMUNICATE WITH FAMILIES AND CONTINUE TO PROVIDE WORKSHOPS. AS THE SITUATION EVOLVED, PSP STAFF CREATED WORKSHOPS AND PRESENTATIONS FOR FAMILIES BASED ON THE NEEDS OF PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN. THIS VIRTUAL PLATFORM WILL SERVE AS THE FORM OF WORKING WITH FAMILIES UNTIL RESTRICTIONS ARE LIFTED. ONCE PROGRAMMING RETURNS TO NORMAL THE VIRTUAL PLATFORM WILL SERVE AS A WAY TO CONTINUE TO ENGAGE PSP ALUMNI ONCE THEY COMPLETE THE PROGRAM. ONCE THE INITIAL PROJECT OF ESTABLISHING A VIRTUAL PLATFORM TO SHARE RESOURCES AND COMPLETE THE WORKSHOPS THAT WERE POSTPONED DUE TO THE CLOSURES WERE FINALIZED, PSP DEVELOPED MORE RESOURCES AND PRESENTATIONS TO HELP FAMILIES DEAL WITH THE LOSS OF LEARNING THEIR CHILDREN WILL EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF THE PANDEMIC. AS MOST SCHOOLS RETURNED IN THE FALL WITH DISTANCE LEARNING, MANY POTENTIAL PARTNERS WERE OVERWHELMED WITH ISSUES AND HESITANT TO LAUNCH PROGRAMMING FOR PARENTS ON TOP OF THEIR CHALLENGES IN PROVIDING BASIC INSTRUCTION FOR STUDENTS. DESPITE THAT, PSP PROGRAM DIRECTORS WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY SOME SCHOOLS, DISTRICTS, AND OTHER PARTNERS TO CONTINUE CONDUCTING THE PROGRAM AS WELL CONDUCTING OTHER PRESENTATIONS AND SESSIONS. (CURRICULUM ADAPTATIONS FOR VIRTUAL ON-LINE DELIVERY) ALL PSP STAFF CONTINUES TO COORDINATE PROGRAMMING THROUGH ZOOM, FACEBOOK, AND OTHER PLATFORMS. THE CURRICULUM WAS ADAPTED TO BE DELIVERED VIRTUALLY AND THIS HAS MINIMIZED THE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC ON THE PSP PROGRAM'S ABILITY TO WORK WITH PARENTS AND CONTINUE THE PROGRAMMING AND ADVOCACY, HOWEVER THERE HAVE BEEN CHALLENGES. ONE ADAPTATION THAT HAS HAPPENED IS THAT ALL PROGRAMMING IS CONDUCTED BY TWO STAFF MEMBERS RATHER THAN JUST ONE. THIS IS TO ENSURE THAT THE PROGRAM CAN BE COMPLETED IF A STAFF MEMBER IS HAVING TECHNOLOGICAL ISSUES AND THAT THE STAFF MEMBER TAKING LEAD HAS TECHNICAL AND OTHER SUPPORT DURING THE PROGRAM. THIS HAS MEANT THAT EACH LOCAL PROGRAM DIRECTOR HAS TAKEN THE LEAD ON THEIR OWN SESSIONS, BUT OTHER DIRECTORS AND NATIONAL STAFF ARE SUPPORTING CONSISTENTLY. ALONG WITH THE DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRONIC ACCESS OF PROGRAM MATERIALS, PSP DIRECTORS HAVE DONE WHAT IS POSSIBLE TO DISTRIBUTE HARD COPIES TO PARENTS AS THEY ARE ABLE TO VIEW AND RETAIN THOSE MORE EFFECTIVELY. SINCE MANY OF THE PARENTS ACCESS OUR PROGRAMMING ON THEIR CELL PHONES, THE SCREENS ARE NOT OPTIMAL FOR REVIEWING DOCUMENTS WITH SMALL FONT. THE VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING HAS MEANT THE GROUP PROJECTS ARE NOT COMPLETED AS THEY HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY, BUT SOME OF THE GROUPS HAVE HAD SMALL PROJECTS OR CONTINUED TO MEET VIRTUALLY AFTER THE PROGRAM CONCLUDES WITHOUT A SPECIFIC PROJECT. (ADVOCACY) IN THE FACE OF A PANDEMIC, THE PSP PROGRAM AND ADVOCACY EFFORTS HAVE HAD TO ADAPT TO THE CURRENT SITUATION. IN AN EFFORT TO CONTINUE OUR ROLE AS ADVOCATES THE CLASS (COMMUNITIES FOR LOS ANGELES STUDENT SUCCESS) COALITION WORKED TOGETHER TO PUSH LA LEADERS TO PRIORITIZE SUPPORT SYSTEMS FOR THE HIGHEST NEED STUDENT POPULATIONS. MOREOVER, CLASS COALITION AND PON (PARENT ORGANIZATION NETWORK) MEETINGS HAVE ALSO BEEN SHIFTING FOCUS TO PRIORITIZE WHAT IS WITHIN OUR CAPACITY GIVEN LIMITATIONS AND TO ADDRESS EMERGENT ISSUES SUCH AS STANDING IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE BLACK LIVES MATTER MOVEMENT, DEFUNDING OF LAUSD SCHOOL POLICE, AND ADDRESSING CONCERNS OF HOW STUDENTS WOULD RETURN TO SCHOOL AT SOME POINT. (OUTREACH) THIS FISCAL YEAR, MALDEF PSP STAFF PROVIDED WEEKLY CLASSES TO ABOUT 350 PARENTS IN 27 CLASSES. 228 PARENTS GRADUATED FROM THE PROGRAM AND ANOTHER 124 ARE ON TRACK TO GRADUATE IN THE NEXT QUARTER. FURTHER OUTREACH THROUGH PRESENTATIONS, WEBINARS, AND SHARING OF THE RESOURCE GUIDES REACHED ABOUT 700 PARENTS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.

THE PHOENIX PSP DIRECTOR WAS FORCED TO TAKE A LEAVE OF ABSENCE IN MID-DECEMBER 2020 UNTIL THE END OF MARCH 2021 DUE TO UNFORESEEN MEDICAL AND REHABILITATION REASONS. ATLANTA PSP PROGRAM DURING THIS YEAR, THE ATLANTA PSP DIRECTOR HELD VIRTUAL CLASSES AT ELEVEN SITES THROUGH THE GREATER ATLANTA AREA. A TOTAL OF 90 PARENTS GRADUATED FROM THE PSP VIRTUAL PROGRAM AT ALL SITES AND ANOTHER 44 ARE ON TRACK TO COMPLETE THE PROGRAM IN THE COMING QUARTER. ATLANTA PSP STAFF ALSO CARRIED OUT WORKSHOPS AND TRAININGS AT LOCAL AND NATIONAL CONFERENCES AND PROGRAMS IN ORDER TO REACH A LARGER BASE OF PARENTS. THROUGH A VIRTUAL PLATFORM, "YOU VISIT" PSP PARTICIPANTS FROM ALL SITES WERE ABLE TO ATTEND THREE VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY TOURS IN SPANISH: EMORY UNIVERSITY; HARVARD COLLEGE, AND GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY.

THIS EVENT WAS ALSO UNIQUE IN THAT IT WAS HELD COMPLETELY IN SPANISH. ALL OF THE PANELISTS ARE SPANISH SPEAKERS WHICH WAS VERY MEANINGFUL BECAUSE IN MOST CIRCUMSTANCES, LATINO IMMIGRANT PARENTS DON'T OFTEN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK DIRECTLY WITH PEOPLE IN POSITIONS SUCH AS THESE. AFTER THE EVENT, PARENTS FELT REASSURED THAT IT IS POSSIBLE AND THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SUPPORTS FOR THEIR CHILDREN TO MAKE IT TO COLLEGE AND GRADUATE.

THIS GROUP OF ABOUT 20 PARENTS DECIDED TO KEEP MEETING EVEN AFTER OUR FORMAL PROGRAM HAD ENDED. THEY ARE ALL MOTIVATED BY THE VARIOUS EDUCATIONAL ISSUES THAT ARE AFFECTING THEIR CHILDREN AS A RESULT OF DISTANCE LEARNING. AS THE PUBLIC HEALTH SITUATION CONTINUES TO REMAIN CRITICAL IN LOS ANGELES, IT IS LIKELY THEIR CHILDREN WILL CONTINUE TO PARTICIPATE IN DISTANCE LEARNING FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. THIS GROUP OF PARENTS MEETS ON A WEEKLY BASIS TO STRATEGIZE AND SHARE IDEAS ON HOW BEST TO SUPPORT THEIR CHILDREN DURING DISTANCE LEARNING. THEY HAVE SHARED MANY LESSONS LEARNED BUT ARE ALSO EAGER TO ADVOCATE FOR MORE RESOURCES AND SUPPORT FOR THEIR CHILDREN IN ORDER TO MITIGATE THE LEARNING LOSS THAT IS LIKELY OCCURRING.
