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. 311256 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. 257396 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 jumpstart 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. 364119 1612147 true true false true false false false false false true true false false false false false true false false false false false false true true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 31 0 true 29 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 28 27 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 Ed D President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 173542 0 8224 Kyle Jennings Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Benjamin Samuels Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dr Claire Bocchini Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Donald Bowers Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Brast Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Cordua Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Dokupil Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kindel Elam Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Angelo Giardino Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher Greeley Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lauren Harison 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 Steven Jones Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michelle Kelly Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Devika Kornbacher Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marcia Laviage Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Lindberg Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tracy Maddox Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eve McFadden Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Roylance Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lynn Sessions Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sebastien Solar Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Buddy Steves Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brent Thomas Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ed Tufaro Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Watt Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Larry Wisniewski Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Amanda Kimball Dir. of Pub Policy 40.00 0.00 X 123958 0 7543 297500 15767 2 false true false 0 573448 1318104 97057 1891552 Education research fees 900099 132765 132765 Program initiative fees 900099 20499 20499 153264 1036 1036 0 0 0 0 252182 573448 331079 -78897 -47289 0 0 0 1966955 153264 -46253 0 0 0 0 173543 127787 8540 37216 0 1052506 775006 51792 225708 0 92067 67793 4530 19744 96964 71399 4771 20794 0 2450 2450 61328 61328 0 33650 33650 0 183598 158573 3294 21731 2622 60 2562 127628 66106 23556 37966 43523 21357 6635 15531 0 123515 52417 12244 58854 67001 57313 5139 4549 0 27638 19103 5676 2859 0 0 31883 26125 4798 960 10462 6249 3767 446 Book production & printing 147604 147604 Membership & dues 9733 8049 44 1640 Other 6319 4756 667 896 0 2294034 1612147 196781 485106 119430 179224 159609 168009 525833 113790 10000 52189 0 0 0 0 61141 24394 212360 101067 139872 111293 17781 0 0 0 0 0 1033666 648899 151357 92188 151357 92188 X -95747 -95 824926 403576 153130 153230 882309 556711 1033666 648899 -327079 1481 X false true X true false X 2174046 2098668 2483622 2426486 1891552 11074374 0 0 2174046 2098668 2483622 2426486 1891552 11074374 1627789 9446585 3028 4865 777 1733 1036 11439 0 0 11085813 650101 0.85210 0.91280 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 37800 37800 2294034 2331834 266592 66648 false 261937 272196 275742 266592 1076467 1614701 38262 37800 37800 37800 151662 65484 68049 68936 66648 269117 403676 38262 37800 37800 37800 151662 153130 100 153230 150630 2500 153130 106875 43755 150630 5000 101875 106875 5000 1289 1289 5000 1.00000 false false false 31441 25153 6288 180919 75914 105005 111293 2095229 1481 126793 128274 1966955 1966955 2420827 126793 126793 2294034 2294034 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
