To drive change in this area, C@R staff meets regularly with public officials, leaders in the academic community, and education agencies to discuss reform strategies. C@R educates the community on the need to improve the public education system through prominent media attention (press conferences, news stories, editorials, and articles), conducting and presenting research, and hosting an annual Education Reform Conference. C@R also draws public attention to outstanding public schools and raises awareness around the need for education reform through its annual Texas Public Schools Rankings. 503609 Through its unique Food in Schools Initiative, C@R continues to raise awareness and advocate for the implementation of Universal Free School Breakfast (UFSB) in schools with high poverty levels. C@Rs research shows that children who eat breakfast regularly are significantly less likely to be overweight, since breakfast can help jump-start their metabolism, improve their nutritional well-being, and decrease overeating later in the day. After playing an instrumental role during the 2013 legislative session in the passage of SB 376, which expands UFSB in Texas poorest schools, C@R will look at the implementation of that law to ensure that students in these low-income schools receive a nutritious breakfast. 349757 C@R established the Center to End the Trafficking and Exploitation of Children (CETEC) in 2007 through its Public Policy & Law Center to launch a broad educational and outreach campaign to combat human trafficking. Because C@R has been a leader in making significant progress in the fight against human trafficking in Texas, it plans to replicate its success on a national level. To attain this goal, C@R will grow CETEC into a national center with a focus on enacting and changing state and local legislation through coordinating a national conference, establishing a human trafficking summer institute for law students, and increasing its partnerships. 172763 1869654 true true false true false false false false false true true false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 18 0 true 33 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 31 30 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X X Dr Robert Sanborn 7138697740 2900 Weslayan Suite 400 Houston TX 77027 Robert Sanborn President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 198041 0 5834 Amanda Kimball Dir. of Pub Policy 40.00 0.00 138162 0 6612 Paul Dewey Chief Development 40.00 0.00 129163 0 6535 Chris Watt Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Benjamin Samuels Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Erich Almonte Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Bell Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Claire Bocchini Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Donald Bowers Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Erich Canseco Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Cordua Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Durham Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy Edgar Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kindel Elam Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Doe Florsheim Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sukanti Ghosh Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lance Gilliam Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 William Gordon Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Deborah Gordon Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Theresa Hildreth Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rebecca Hove Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pam Humphrey Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kyle Jennings Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steven Jones Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Manon Kebodeaux Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Devika Kornbacher Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Madhura Kulkarni Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nicole Lewis Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Timmy Newsome Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Manish Panjwani Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LaToyia Pierce Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sebastien Solar Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Myron Steves Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jasmine Turner Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Larry Wisniewski Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 465366 18981 3 false true false 0 497949 210116 2232164 81557 2940229 Education research fees 900099 136675 136675 Program initiative fees 900099 52412 52412 189087 1727 1727 0 0 0 0 231093 497949 227396 3697 3697 0 0 0 3134740 189087 5424 0 0 0 0 203876 184532 10100 9244 0 1508878 1020334 72881 415663 0 97183 68365 4708 24110 135350 95214 6558 33578 0 1925 1925 23500 23500 61000 61000 0 0 232005 70342 138718 22945 2753 1604 787 362 169719 82921 23339 63459 39662 26429 3013 10220 0 87492 60475 3523 23494 125841 109052 12658 4131 0 14694 4936 5998 3760 1726 1726 0 54553 37850 3355 13348 8666 8666 Book production & printing 38755 38755 Memberships & dues 9568 7845 1187 536 0 2817146 1869654 322642 624850 206787 629375 0 925170 887054 42628 23711 0 0 0 0 5635 1991 378906 251255 162923 127651 134244 139996 0 0 0 0 1477387 1809778 181382 202253 20000 10000 18000 211382 220253 X 21655 161335 1244350 1428190 1266005 1589525 1477387 1809778 317594 5926 X false true X true false X 2426486 1891552 2502749 2917031 2940229 12678047 0 0 2426486 1891552 2502749 2917031 2940229 12678047 3190388 9487659 1733 1036 1670 3286 1727 9452 0 0 12687499 942180 0.74780 0.78390 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 61000 61000 2756146 2817146 290857 72714 false 266592 274654 283018 290857 1115121 1672682 37800 47100 32900 61000 178800 66648 68664 70755 72714 278781 418172 37800 47100 32900 61000 178800 117925 860 1118 117667 153230 258 35563 117925 153230 153230 153130 100 153230 150630 2500 153130 1.00000 false false false 102205 54518 47687 276701 196737 79964 127651 3275716 5926 135050 140976 3134740 3134740 2952196 135050 135050 2817146 2817146 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
