PREP-KC'S NETWORK HAS GROWN FROM TWO SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN 2005 TO SIX URBAN DISTRICTS AND THREE CHARTER ORGANIZATIONS THAT COLLECTIVELY SERVE 65,041 STUDENTS. 76 PERCENT OF STUDENTS ENROLLED IN OUR PARTNER DISTRICTS IDENTIFY AS STUDENTS OF COLOR, AND 83 PERCENT QUALIFY FOR FREE OR REDUCED LUNCH BECAUSE OF THEIR FAMILY INCOME.PREP-KC ORGANIZES ITS WORK AROUND THREE STRATEGIES THAT CREATE A K-12 CONTINUUM OF SUPPORT FOCUSED ON STUDENTS' POSTSECONDARY SUCCESS. FIRST, PREP-KC PROVIDES K-12 MATHEMATICS TEACHERS AND K-3 LITERACY TEACHERS WITH THE TRAINING AND RESOURCES NEEDED TO ENSURE EVERY STUDENT BECOMES A SUCCESSFUL MATH STUDENT AND A PROFICIENT READER. SECOND, PREP-KC BELIEVES THAT "YOU CAN'T BE IT IF YOU CAN'T SEE IT." THIS MANTRA GUIDES OUR COLLEGE AND CAREER EXPERIENCES, WHICH PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPLORE THE REGION'S HIGH-DEMAND CAREERS AND THE POSTSECONDARY DEGREES NEEDED TO COMPETE FOR THESE JOBS. FINALLY, PREP-KC'S CAREER ACADEMIES PREPARE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE AND THE WORKFORCE. STUDENTS WORK ON "REAL WORLD" PROJECTS, INTERACT WITH INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS, AND EARN COLLEGE CREDIT AND INDUSTRY-RECOGNIZED CERTIFICATIONS AS PART OF THEIR HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE. PREP-KC'S THEORY OF ACTION FOCUSES ON CREATING A MULTI-SECTOR SYSTEM OF SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE K-12 EDUCATION SYSTEM AND INTO THE WORKFORCE. PREP-KC BELIEVES THAT BY COMBINING EDUCATION, INDUSTRY, AND COMMUNITY SUPPORTS THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL-TO-CAREER PIPELINE, AND BY CONCENTRATING THESE SUPPORTS IN DISTRICTS THAT SERVE PREDOMINATELY STUDENTS OF COLOR AND LOW-INCOME STUDENTS, WE CAN SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE THE EDUCATIONAL AND ECONOMIC OUTCOMES FOR THESE STUDENTS WHILE ALSO CREATING A DIVERSE, WELL-PREPARED REGIONAL WORKFORCE.PREP-KC IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO TAKE ON THIS WORK SUCCESSFULLY FOR SEVERAL REASONS. FIRST, WE HAVE LONG-TERM, HIGH-TRUST RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE DISTRICT, BUILDING, AND TEACHER LEADERS IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS WHERE WE SERVE. SECOND, WE HAVE A PROVEN SET OF STRATEGIES THAT ARE IMPROVING ACADEMIC OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS AND THIRD, WE HAVE A ROBUST DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS SYSTEM INCLUDING A DATA DASHBOARD THAT MEASURES PROGRESS AND GUIDES IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR WORK.OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, EACH OF OUR KEY PROGRAMMING AREAS HAS DEMONSTRATED CONCRETE EVIDENCE OF IMPROVING ACADEMIC OUTCOMES FOR THE STUDENTS WE SERVE. FIRST, PREP-KC HAS HELPED OUR PARTNER SCHOOL DISTRICTS INCREASE THE NUMBER OF K-3 STUDENTS READING PROFICIENTLY. THE PERFORMANCE OF DISTRICTS IMPLEMENTING PREP-KC'S LITERACY BENCHMARKING INITIATIVE COMPARED TO STATEWIDE PROFICIENCY RATES INDICATES NOTABLE IMPROVEMENTS OVER THE BASELINE DATA COLLECTED IN 2014. BASELINE DATA REVEALED A 22-POINT GAP BETWEEN THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS DEMONSTRATING READING PROFICIENCY IN PREP-KC'S FIRST COHORT OF LITERACY BENCHMARKING DISTRICTS (CENTER, GRANDVIEW, AND ALLEN VILLAGE) COMPARED TO THE STATEWIDE RESULTS. IN 2014, 31% OF 3RD GRADERS IN COHORT I SCHOOLS SCORED AT LEAST THE PROFICIENT LEVEL COMPARED TO A 53% STATEWIDE PROFICIENCY RATE. PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF 2018 MAP RESULTS INDICATES THAT THE FIRST COHORT OF PREP-KC LITERACY BENCHMARKING DISTRICTS CUT THE GAP BETWEEN THEIR PROFICIENCY RATES AND THE STATEWIDE RATE IN HALF TO 11 POINTS (38% PROFICIENCY RATE AMONG LITERACY BENCHMARKING DISTRICTS COMPARED TO 49% STATEWIDE PROFICIENCY RATE).SECOND, PREP-KC CONTINUES TO FOCUS ON PROVIDING URBAN STUDENTS WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO DISCOVER COLLEGE AND CAREER OPTIONS AND SUPPORT STUDENTS AS THEY BEGIN TO PLAN FOR THEIR FUTURES. DURING THE 2017-2018 SCHOOL YEAR, PREP-KC PROVIDED 6,840 INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS WITH COLLEGE & CAREER EXPERIENCES DESIGNED TO HELP THEM EXPAND THEIR HORIZONS AND PLAN FOR THEIR FUTURE. TO PROVIDE THESE EXPERIENCES FOR STUDENTS, PREP-KC ENGAGED 857 PROFESSIONALS FROM 214 BUSINESSES AND 36 POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTIONS ACROSS THE KANSAS CITY REGION. PROFESSIONALS INTERACT WITH STUDENTS AND TEACHERS IN A VARIETY OF WAYS, INCLUDING THROUGH OUR NEW CONNECTOR ONLINE PLATFORM, WHICH USES TELECONFERENCING TECHNOLOGY TO CONNECT INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS WITH PREP-KC CLASSROOMS ACROSS OUR NETWORK.THIRD, PREP-KC ALSO HELPS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PREPARE FOR SPECIFIC INDUSTRIES THROUGH OUR INTENSIVE, MULTI-YEAR CAREER ACADEMIES PROGRAM. LAST YEAR, PREP-KC INCREASED THE NUMBER OF COLLEGE CREDITS EARNED BY CAREER ACADEMY STUDENTS DURING HIGH SCHOOL TO 526 CREDITS COMPARED TO 491 CREDITS THE PREVIOUS YEAR. 100% OF OUR 350 CAREER ACADEMY ALUMNI GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL ON TIME, AND 66% OF THOSE GRADUATES (N=231) WENT ON TO ENROLL IN POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION. 1295283 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 25 0 13 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 MO X X E2E LLC NANCY MCCULLOUGH 8162894274 1800 WYANDOTTE SUITE 101 KANSAS CITY MO 64108 CHRIS GENTILE BOARD CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID WARM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RAY DANIELS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RAMON MURGUIA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 EDWARD F HONESTY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TOM FORRESTER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LEO E MORTON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MADELINE ROMIOUS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN WALLY PRESIDENT & CEO 60.00 X 162500 0 406 DOUG ELMER VICE PRESIDENT 60.00 X 145000 0 363 307500 0 769 2 0 1 0 SUSAN ENGELMANN 8300 W 99TH STREET OVERLAND PARK KS 66212 BENCHMARKING, CHARTER SCHOOL EXPANSION, 122800 1 24205 1156116 1180321 DISTRICT COST SHARING 611710 369652 369652 369652 79076 79076 228457 198238 30219 30219 30219 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 900099 2235 2235 2235 1661503 371887 0 109295 X 310898 179108 49402 82388 698724 649064 15434 34226 29735 29735 339 339 164698 82242 82456 33819 20862 12957 2478 1238 620 620 COACHING/TRAINING 207450 207450 TUITION, REGISTRATION, 74668 74668 CONVENING AND NETWORKIN 68272 45490 11391 11391 TEXTBOOKS, MATERIALS, A 41270 35161 6109 2000 2000 1634351 1295283 210443 128625 2516988 3077432 587676 353981 83268 54805 425 7078 24775 7434 19819 17341 2595449 2325523 5803625 5836160 77185 48748 77185 48748 X 4897370 5110753 829070 676659 5726440 5787412 5803625 5836160 27152 33820 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2292780 1131779 1128299 1487297 1180321 7220476 2292780 1131779 1128299 1487297 1180321 7220476 3734127 3486349 46305 47667 53187 57726 79076 283961 3365 2235 5600 7510037 0.46420 0.48740 X 24775 7434 17341 17341 X 1694984 33820 33820 1661164 339 339 1661503 1634012 0 1634012 339 339 1634351 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN GRANTED EXEMPTION FROM INCOME TAXES BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.
