DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR WE PARTNERED WITH THE GOVERNOR'S ASSOCIATION TO OFFER A LOBBY DAY EXPERIENCE TO OUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND CONTINUED TO WORK WITH LONGTIME PARTNER PREPMATTERS TO PROVIDE SAT SERVICES TO OUR 11TH GRADE STUDENTS. THE SCHOLARS PROGRAM ALSO SUPPORTS OUR STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THEIR POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION.

NTP ALSO WORKED WITH AN ADDITIONAL 62 STUDENTS IN THE READING AND MATH SUMMER ACADEMIES PROGRAM RUN DURING THE SUMMER. NTP'S MISSION IS TO HELP STUDENTS ACHIEVE GRADE LEVEL COMPETENCY IN READING AND MATH. THE PROGRAM USES THREE CURRICULA. ELEMENTARY READING STUDENTS WORK WITH THE LANGUAGE READING CURRICULUM, WHICH IS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR STUDENTS PERFORMING BELOW GRADE LEVEL. IT "TEACHES LITERACY EXPLICITLY, SEQUENTIALLY, AND CUMULATIVELY AND WORKS ON ALL AREAS OF LITERACY INCLUDING PHONICS, FLUENCY, VOCABULARY AND READING COMPREHENSION (CAMBIUM LEARNING INCORPORATED: SOPRIS)[I]. ADOLESCENT READING STUDENTS USE THE WILSON READING SYSTEM, WHICH FOCUSES ON THE BASICS OF PHONICS, ENCODING AND DECODING. FLOC ALSO ADDED A VOCABULARY AND READING COMPREHENSION AND WRITING COMPONENT AS WELL. ALL MATH STUDENTS WORK WITH THE FLOC DEVELOPED AND COPYRIGHTED 40-STEP MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM WHICH COVERS MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS FROM PLACE VALUE TO PRE-ALGEBRA. DURING THE 2014-2015 SCHOOL YEAR, NTP OFFERED SCHOOL YEAR-LONG PROGRAMS IN READING AND MATH. IF STUDENTS HAD NEED FOR BOTH READING AND MATH TUTORING, THEY COULD SIGN UP FOR BOTH. AS A RESULT, STUDENTS FELL INTO ONE OF THREE CATEGORIES WITH RESPECT TO THE CURRICULUM IN WHICH THEY WORKED: ONE GROUP OF STUDENTS RECEIVED SERVICES ONLY IN READING, ONE GROUP OF STUDENTS RECEIVED SERVICES ONLY IN MATH, AND ONE GROUP OF STUDENTS RECEIVED SERVICE IN BOTH READING AND MATH. ALL STUDENTS WERE ENCOURAGED TO PROCEED AT THEIR OWN PACE. TUTORS WERE REQUIRED TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE TRAINING IN THE CURRICULUM THEY WORKED WITH, AND EVALUATION WAS USED EXTENSIVELY TO ENSURE STEP MASTERY IN THE GRADIENT-BASED CURRICULA AND TO ASSESS STUDENTS' OVERALL GRADE EQUIVALENCY IMPROVEMENT. THE FOLLOWING REPORT IS A SUMMARY OF STUDENTS' AVERAGE READING AND MATH GRADE LEVEL EQUIVALENCY IMPROVEMENT, STEP IMPROVEMENT, AND ATTENDANCE RATES. RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE BOTH THE CAPACITY AND QUALITY OF NTP ARE FOUND IN THE FINAL SECTION.-NTP SERVED A TOTAL OF 318 STUDENTS DURING THE 2014-2015 SCHOOL YEAR WITH 266 STUDENTS REGULARLY ATTENDING AT THE END OF PROGRAM, REPRESENTING A WITHIN YEAR RETENTION RATE OF 84.6%. -STUDENTS MAINTAINED AN AVERAGE ATTENDANCE RATE OF 81.3%.-174 STUDENTS, OR 55%, MADE AT LEAST ONE YEAR OF IMPROVEMENT IN READING OR MATH. 108 OF THOSE STUDENTS, OR 34%, MADE AT LEAST TWO YEARS OF IMPROVEMENT IN READING OR MATH. -OVER 98% OF NTP STUDENTS WERE CLASSIFIED AS LOW INCOME AND MORE THAN 84% WERE FROM HOMES WHERE NEITHER PARENT GRADUATED COLLEGE. 399500 0 73662 OUTDOOR EDUCATION CENTER - THROUGH OUR PROGRAMMING AT THE OUTDOOR EDUCATION CENTER (OEC) LOCATED IN HARPERS FERRY, WV, FLOC TEACHES INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP LEADERSHIP SKILLS, TEAM BUILDING AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION.

THE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM OFFERS EXPERIENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES AND LESSONS THE STUDENTS WOULD NOT OTHERWISE LEARN ABOUT IN THEIR TYPICAL SCHOOL CURRICULA. EVEN AS OUR STUDENT'S AGE OUT OF THE PROGRAM, THEY ALL EXPRESS INTEREST IN WANTING TO STAY INVOLVED IN THE PROGRAM IN SOME FORM. PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS:-73% OF THE STUDENTS IMPROVED THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF GEOGRAPHY AND GLOBAL CULTURES AND TRADITIONS.-89% OF THE STUDENTS IMPROVED THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SUSTAINABLE LIVING PRACTICES.-12 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE ALTERNATIVE SPRING BREAK TRIP. IN ADDITION, A TOTAL OF 76 STUDENTS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND CAMP FOR FREE EVERY SUMMER. THIS YEAR WE PILOTED A "NON-COGNITIVE CAMP" WITH OUR HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARS STUDENTS. THIS THREE-DAY CAMP ENCOMPASSED VARIOUS WORKSHOPS TO DEVELOP NON-COGNITIVE SKILLS SUCH AS OPTIMISM, PERSEVERANCE, ADAPTABILITY, AND INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY. FOLLOWING THE HIGH SCHOOL CAMP, THE OEC HAD FOUR CONSECUTIVE WEEKS OF DIFFERENT THEMED CAMPS FOR FLOC'S MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS, SCHOLARS DC AND LEADERS IN ACTION WV. THE FIRST WEEK'S "WILDERNESS VOYAGERS" CAMP FOCUSED ON AGRICULTURE AND FORAGING FOR FOOD, SURVIVAL SKILLS, SHELTER BUILDING AND NAVIGATION. THE "ARTS ON THE MOUNTAIN CAMP" TOOK AN ARTISTIC APPROACH TO THE NATURAL SETTING, LEARNING ABOUT MUSIC, CRAFTS FROM RAW MATERIALS FOUND IN NATURE AND WOOD FIRE CERAMICS FROM A LOCAL POTTER. WRAPPING UP THE SUMMER WERE TWO "OFF-SITE" TRIPS CALLED THE "RIDGE TO RIVER CAMPS." THESE TRIPS ALLOWED STUDENTS TO PACK THEIR BELONGINGS AND PADDLE ON THE SHENANDOAH, HIKE ALONG THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL AND CAMP IN SHENANDOAH NATIONAL FOREST AS WELL AS AT OUR OEC SITE. WHILE THESE CAMPS HAVE DIFFERENT TOPICS AND THEMES, THEY ALL DEVELOP THE NON-COGNITIVE SKILLS CRITICAL TO POSTSECONDARY SUCCESS. 54686 54686 0 FRED TAYLOR SCHOLARSHIP 54686 54686 0 1599205 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 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 0 1 4 0 1 37 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 MD VA WV X X DAVID WEAVER 2024628686 1763 COLUMBIA ROAD NW 1ST FLOOR WASHINGTON DC 20009 GISELLE POLE CHAIR 1.50 X X 0 0 0 CONNIE GOLLEHER VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE ANDERSON TREASURER 1.30 X X 0 0 0 PETER HAHN SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MATT BLOCHER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTIAN CAMPAGNUOLO DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CLARK DIXON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN P DOWNS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF FERGUS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHERRY GILBERT DIRECTOR (THRU 12/2014) 1.00 X 0 0 0 ADAM HORVATH DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 COLIN KIMPEL DIRECTOR 1.30 X 0 0 0 TIM MILLER DIRECTOR (THRU 09/2014) 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER NOTHSTEIN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JASON REED DIRECTOR (THRU 09/2014) 1.00 X 0 0 0 ARLENE FARBER SIRKIN DIRECTOR (THRU 07/2015) 1.00 X 0 0 0 EVA STARK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 F CHAPMAN TAYLOR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 FRED TAYLOR DIRECTOR (THRU 07/2015) 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATE VOGT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TIMOTHY PAYNE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 94740 0 15364 DAVID WEAVER DIRECTOR OF FINANCE & OPERATIONS 40.00 X 75415 0 3421 170155 0 18785 0 0 0 0 0 26865 1885139 1912004 PROGRAM SERVICE FEES 900099 73662 73662 73662 30235 30235 80334 80334 0 0 REIMBURSEMENTS 900099 22000 22000 22000 2037901 73662 0 52235 X 57986 57986 199065 139346 29859 29860 899285 728007 29604 141674 20627 16961 399 3267 82543 66031 3562 12950 88818 70251 4688 13879 1500 820 231 449 29143 15939 4485 8719 218607 122295 29408 66904 1623 1093 530 61102 40417 10287 10398 14472 7915 2227 4330 194880 167533 10215 17132 31301 24966 1490 4845 54538 31725 2307 20506 3725 2988 130 607 2966 2583 97 286 52921 42913 10008 BAD DEBT 26321 26321 PROGRAM FOOD 21247 20153 772 322 RECREATION 6345 6345 CURRICULUM 1785 1785 2278 31153 -35975 7100 2073078 1599205 103794 370079 2523 4282 37324 31068 323422 405611 11869 8667 26957 26409 823362 529231 297097 294131 977486 846900 19534 19534 1696212 1636602 135952 123130 0 70000 4130 2945 140082 196075 X 548440 409263 707690 731264 300000 300000 1556130 1440527 1696212 1636602 -35177 -80426 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1369568 1366033 1658056 1730840 1912004 8036501 1369568 1366033 1658056 1730840 1912004 8036501 3547573 4488928 29603 24123 27138 23788 30235 134887 8171388 416171 0.54930 0.60690 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 342633 -17802 20295 304536 363185 19021 39573 342633 395906 23961 56682 363185 389941 40507 34542 395906 458019 -22363 45715 389941 0.98510 0.01490 0 0 292532 292532 329966 329966 0 200864 199265 1599 294131 DEFERRED RENT 2945 2945 X 1962475 -80426 5000 -75426 2037901 0 2037901 2078078 5000 5000 2073078 0 2073078 PART V, LINE 4: FLOC HAS A DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUND ESTABLISHED FOR THE PURPOSE OF GENERATING EARNINGS TO ESTABLISH AND AWARD SCHOLARSHIPS TO DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS.
