DescTHE BRIGHT MINDS FOUNDATION IS THE HOWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS EDUCATION FOUNDATION, AN INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION CREATED IN 2006 BY THE HCPSS BOARD OF EDUCATION AND GOVERNED BY AN INDEPENDENT BOARD OF VOLUNTEERS REPRESENTING LOCAL COMMUNITY LEADERS. DUE TO CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS IN THE COUNTY, OF THE 55,638 STUDENTS CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM, FULLY 21.5% OF STUDENTS ARE RECEIVING FREE AND REDUCED MEALS (FARMS) SERVICES BASED ON FAMILY INCOME BELOW FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE BETWEEN 500-600 STUDENTS RECEIVING HOMELESS SERVICES IN THE SYSTEM. STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN THE ENGLISH FOR SPEAKERS OF OTHER LANGUAGES (ESOL) PROGRAM, REPRESENTING 82 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES (PRIMARILY SPANISH AND KOREAN) AND 100 COUNTRIES. (STATISTICS TAKEN FROM HCPSS PROFILE AT HTTP://WWW.HCPSS.ORG/ABOUTUS/PROFILE.PDF). ACCORDINGLY, THE BRIGHT MINDS FOUNDATION IS POSITIONED TO HELP FILL THE GAPS TO PROVIDE HELP NEEDED BY SOME OF THESE STUDENTS THAT CANNOT BE FULLY ADDRESSED BY THE SCHOOL BUDGET.PROGRAMS1.BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE: HCPSS HAS IDENTIFIED A NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN HOWARD COUNTY WHOSE FAMILIES ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE HOME TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT. THESE FAMILIES EXPERIENCE GREAT DIFFICULTY IN EVERY SPHERE OF LIFE DUE TO THIS DISCONNECT. BY PROVIDING REFURBISHED LAPTOPS, NEW PRINTERS, AND FLASHDRIVES, WE HAVE ENABLED THE STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO COMPETE ON A MORE LEVEL PLAYING FIELD. WE HAVE PLACED 975 COMPUTERS IN HOMES TO DATE, AND DUE TO THE NUMBER OF FAMILY MEMBERS IN EACH HOME, PLUS EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBERS WHO CAN USE THE EQUIPMENT, WE BELIEVE WE HAVE CHANGED THE LIVES OF AT LEAST 5,000 PEOPLE. STUDENTS NOW CAN DO THEIR HOMEWORK AT THEIR OWN PACE FROM HOME, AND BECAUSE WE ARE GIVING LAPTOPS THAT HAVE WI-FI CAPABILITY, THEY CAN ACCESS THE INTERNET FROM VARIOUS LOCATIONS, EVEN IF THEY DON'T HAVE IT AT HOME. THIS EQUIPMENT ALSO ALLOWS PARENTS TO CONNECT TO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM TO OVERSEE THE STUDENTS' PERFORMANCE, VIA THE FAMILY PORTALS, AND CHECK HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS, ACTIVITIES, ETC., WHICH WAS UNAVAILABLE TO THEM BEFORE. WE ALSO REFER FAMILIES TO COMCAST TO QUALIFY FOR INEXPENSIVE BROADBAND, AND PROVIDE TRAINING ON PARENTAL SECURITY ISSUES, AS WELL AS ONLINE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE LIBRARY. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH MANY LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, AND HAVE RECEIVED GRANTS AND FUNDING FROM THE COMMUNITY.2. STAFF AND TEACHER'S GRANT PROGRAM: WHILE THE HCPSS IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST PERFORMING SCHOOL SYSTEMS IN TEH STATE, AND ENJOYS A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF COUNTY DOLLARS TO MEET ITS MANDATE, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES TO THE COUNTY, SUCH AN INFLUX OF FAMILIES WHO DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH AS WELL AS AN INCREASE IN FAMILIES IN POVERTY WHO ARE ENTITLED TO FREE AND REDUCED MEALS (FARMS), AS A RESULT OF THE UNSTABLE ECONOMY. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN HIGH PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, MORE RESOURCES ARE NEEDED TO MANAGE THESE GROWING CHANGES AND NEEDS. IT IS CLEAR THAT COMMUNITY SUPPORT BECOMES MORE NECESSARY TO HELP PROVIDE NECESSARY ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE FALL BY THE WAYSIDE. RECOGNIZING THAT THERE ARE MANY OUTSTANDING IDEAS THAT STAFF AND TEACHERS CREATE TO PROVIDE ENRICHMENT THAT OFTEN MUST BE SCRAPPED AS THEY ARE OUTSIDE OF THE BUDGET, BRIGHT MINDS OFFERS A YEARLY OPPORTUNITY FOR STAFF AND TEACHERS TO QUALIFY FOR GRANTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $500 TO $2,000 THAT CAN BE USED TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH GREATER OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN AND GROW. WE DEFINE CATEGORIES USING THE 21ST CENTURY COMPETENCIES CURRICULUM, AND ALSO STATE THAT THE PROJECT MUST BE DESIGNED TO MEET OUR MISSION OF EQUITY AND EQUALITY FIRST. IT IS A FACT THAT STUDENTS WHO MAY NEED ENRICHMENT THE MOST OFTEN HAVE THE LEAST OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE IT, SO WE ARE PROUD TO SOLICIT AND DIRECT PRIVATE FUNDS TO SUPPORT THESE OPPORTUNITIES. IN THE PAST, WE HAVE GRANTED FUNDS TO SCHOOLS WITH THE HIGHEST FARMS PERCENTAGES TO PURCHASE LEGO ROBOTIC EQUIPMENT FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS TO HELP MOTIVATE THEM TOWARDS TECHNOLOGY CAREERS. ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS A SCHOOL WHOSE STUDENTS REPRESENTED A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF MINORITY GROUPS, WHICH WAS AWARDED FUNDS TO PURCHASE WEATHER PROBES TO AGAIN HELP DIRECT THESE STUDENTS TO TECHNOLOGY CAREERS BY INTRODUCING THEM TO THESE CONCEPTS AND THE PROPER EQUIPMENT. WE CAN CITE SUPPORT FOR 65 PROJECTS REPRESENTING $111,000 INVESTMENT SINCE THE PROGRAM'S INCEPTION.3. STRATEGIC GOAL REVIEW AND EXPANSION: WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE SCHOOL, WE ARE FINDING NEW WAYS TO HELP THEM MEET THEIR 2018 VISION TO CLOSE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS BY TARGETING STUDENTS FROM DISADVANTAGED HOMES TO FILL NEEDS LIKE TRANSPORTATION. THE LACK OF TRANSPORTATION IS OFTEN A BARRIER THAT IMPACTS THEIR ABILITY TO ACCESS AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS, OR ACTIVITIES THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THEIR HOME TERRITORY. WE ARE CONSIDERING WAYS TO COLLABORATE AND TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO ENHANCEMENT ACTIVITIES FOR THESE STUDENTS AND ARE OPEN TO OTHER EMERGING NEEDS THAT MAY BE DEFINED IN THE FUTURE.4. DRIVING STUDENT SUCCESS PROGRAM: IN RECOGNITION OF THE BARRIERS CAUSED BY LACK OF TRANSPORTATION FOR STUDENTS WHO CANNOT MAKE THEIR OWN ALTERNATE PLANS IN ORDER TO ATTEND AFTER SCHOOL ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES, WE WERE ASKED TO LOOK AT WAYS THAT WE CAN HELP. BECAUSE LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD IN GENERAL IS A MAJOR INITIATIVE FOR OUR FOUNDATION, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED PARTNERS TO WORK WITH US TO CREATE A DEMONSTRATION PROJECT TO CALL ATTENTION TO THIS INITIATIVE. WE HAVE CULTIVATED A PARTNERSHIP WITH DISTRICT 1 COUNCILMAN JON WEINSTEIN TO ENCOURAGE COMMUNITY MEMBERS LIKE THE INDEPENDENT GAS STATION OWNERS TO CONTRIBUTE FUNDS TO OUR PROGRAM. WE RAISED FUNDS TO BEGIN ADDING ONE BUS PER WEEK TO SEVEN SCHOOLS FROM JANUARY 2016 THROUGH JUNE 2016. EACH BUS HOLDS APPROXIMATELY 45 STUDENTS SO WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SUPPORT THE ABILITY FOR AT LEAST 300 STUDENTS PER WEEK TO STAY AFTER SCHOOL TO TAKE PART IN ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES. THIS INCLUDES MENTORING AND TUTORING ALONG WITH OTHER ACTIVITIES SUCH AS SPORTS, DRAMA, STUDENT CLUBS, ETC. THERE ARE NO ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDENTS TO USE THE BUSES; THEY ARE SIMPLY THERE FOR THOSE WHO NEED THEM. MOST SCHOOLS HAVE INSTITUTED SIGN UP PROGRAMS AND ARE ABLE TO KEEP TRACK OF STUDENT USE FOR MONITORING AND REPORTING.Desc
