| Description | THE 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 50,969 STUDENTS CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM, FULLY 17 % 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. OVER 2,250 STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN THE ENGLISH FOR SPEAKERS OF OTHER LANGUAGES (ESOL) PROGRAM, REPRESENTING 58 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES (PRIMARILY SPANISH AND KOREAN) AND 75 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. PROGRAMS 1.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 500 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 2000 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 TEACHERS' GRANT PROGRAM: WHILE THE HCPSS IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST PERFORMING SCHOOL SYSTEMS IN THE STATE, AND ENJOYS A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF COUNTY DOLLARS TO MEET ITS MANDATE, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES IN THE COUNTY, SUCH AS 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'RE OUTSIDE THE BUDGET, BRIGHT MINDS OFFERS A YEARLY OPPORTUNITY FOR STAFF AND TEACHERS TO QUALIFY FOR GRANTS IN THE AMOUNT OF 500 TO 2000 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 32 PROJECTS REPRESENTING 53,000 INVESTMENT SINCE THE PROGRAM'S INCEPTION. 3. FINANCIAL LITERACY TRAINING: AS WE SEEK FUNDING FOR OUR PROGRAMS, WE HAVE ATTRACTED SPONSORS WHO HAVE PROVIDED RESOURCES TO HELP US INCLUDE OTHER IMPORTANT TOPICS IN OUR WORKSHOPS AND FOR OUR STAFF AND TEACHER GRANTS. ONE SUCH EXAMPLE IS THE COLLABORATION WE HAVE ESTABLISHED WITH CAPITAL ONE BANK, WHICH HAS SUPPORTED OUR PROGRAMS OVER THE YEARS WITH MANY THOUSANDS OF GRANT DOLLARS. IN ADDITION, THEY HAVE SENT NUMBERS OF VOLUNTEERS TO ATTEND OUR LAPTOPS FOR STUDENTS WORKSHOPS TO PROVIDE AN HOUR LONG FINANCIAL LITERACY TRAINING COMPONENT. IT IS OUR POLICY TO HOLD MANDATORY WORKSHOPS FOR A PARENT AND STUDENT TO ATTEND WHEN RECEIVING A COMPUTER FROM US, TO LEARN HOW TO USE THE EQUIPMENT AND HOW TO SET IT UP AT HOME, AND ALSO TO ENSURE THAT THE PARENT IS ENGAGED AND RECEIVES TRAINING AS WELL. IT IS AT THIS MANDATORY WORKSHOP THAT WE OFFER A COURSE IN FINANCIAL LITERACY TRAINING, PERFORMED BY LOCAL CAPITAL ONE BRANCH BANK MANAGERS AS VOLUNTEERS. THE COURSE IS ALWAYS VERY WELL RECEIVED, AND AT THE END, EACH MANAGER TAKES TIME TO MEET THE FAMILIES INDIVIDUALLY AND INFORMALLY TO INVITE THEM TO VISIT THE LOCAL BANKS FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE. WE FIND THAT THESE FUN AND NONTHREATENING ENCOUNTERS WITH BANK EMPLOYEES SET A VERY HELPFUL TONE FOR FAMILIES THAT MAY OTHERWISE FEEL INTIMIDATED TO VISIT A LOCAL BANK. WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THIS PARTNERSHIP AND WE WORK CLOSELY WITH CAPITAL ONE BANK TO DETERMINE OTHER AREAS OF INVOLVEMENT FOR THEM, SUCH AS INTRODUCING THEM TO THE FINANCE ACADEMY AT THE ARL AND HELPING THEM TO BECOME PART OF THE ADVISORY BOARD. 4. TECHNOLOGY IN THE BLACK STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM (BSAP) COMMUNITY BASED LEARNING CENTERS (CBLCS): WE HAVE DONATED TWELVE DESK TOP COMPUTERS WITH OPERATING SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE TO FOUR OF THE CBLCS IN THE COMMUNITY. THESE CENTERS ARE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE HCPSS, THE HOWARD COUNTY HOUSING, RECREATION AND PARKS AND THE COLUMBIA HOUSING CORPORATION, ALONG WITH OTHER PARTNERS. THEY WERE FORMED TO PROVIDE AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING AND HOMEWORK ASSISTANCE, FIELD TRIPS AND PARENT MENTORING SERVICES, AND ARE OVERSEEN BY HCPSS EMPLOYEES. 5.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. | Description |

| FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION | FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | 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. PROGRAMS 1.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 500 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 2000 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 TEACHERS' GRANT PROGRAM: WHILE THE HCPSS IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST PERFORMING SCHOOL SYSTEMS IN THE STATE, AND ENJOYS A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF COUNTY DOLLARS TO MEET ITS MANDATE, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES IN THE COUNTY, SUCH AS 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'RE OUTSIDE THE BUDGET, BRIGHT MINDS OFFERS A YEARLY OPPORTUNITY FOR STAFF AND TEACHERS TO QUALIFY FOR GRANTS IN THE AMOUNT OF 500 TO 2000 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 32 PROJECTS REPRESENTING 53,000 INVESTMENT SINCE THE PROGRAM'S INCEPTION. 3. FINANCIAL LITERACY TRAINING: AS WE SEEK FUNDING FOR OUR PROGRAMS, WE HAVE ATTRACTED SPONSORS WHO HAVE PROVIDED RESOURCES TO HELP US INCLUDE OTHER IMPORTANT TOPICS IN OUR WORKSHOPS AND FOR OUR STAFF AND TEACHER GRANTS. ONE SUCH EXAMPLE IS THE COLLABORATION WE HAVE ESTABLISHED WITH CAPITAL ONE BANK, WHICH HAS SUPPORTED OUR PROGRAMS OVER THE YEARS WITH MANY THOUSANDS OF GRANT DOLLARS. IN ADDITION, THEY HAVE SENT NUMBERS OF VOLUNTEERS TO ATTEND OUR LAPTOPS FOR STUDENTS WORKSHOPS TO PROVIDE AN HOUR LONG FINANCIAL LITERACY TRAINING COMPONENT. IT IS OUR POLICY TO HOLD MANDATORY WORKSHOPS FOR A PARENT AND STUDENT TO ATTEND WHEN RECEIVING A COMPUTER FROM US, TO LEARN HOW TO USE THE EQUIPMENT AND HOW TO SET IT UP AT HOME, AND ALSO TO ENSURE THAT THE PARENT IS ENGAGED AND RECEIVES TRAINING AS WELL. IT IS AT THIS MANDATORY WORKSHOP THAT WE OFFER A COURSE IN FINANCIAL LITERACY TRAINING, PERFORMED BY LOCAL CAPITAL ONE BRANCH BANK MANAGERS AS VOLUNTEERS. THE COURSE IS ALWAYS VERY WELL RECEIVED, AND AT THE END, EACH MANAGER TAKES TIME TO MEET THE FAMILIES INDIVIDUALLY AND INFORMALLY TO INVITE THEM TO VISIT THE LOCAL BANKS FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE. WE FIND THAT THESE FUN AND NONTHREATENING ENCOUNTERS WITH BANK EMPLOYEES SET A VERY HELPFUL TONE FOR FAMILIES THAT MAY OTHERWISE FEEL INTIMIDATED TO VISIT A LOCAL BANK. WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THIS PARTNERSHIP AND WE WORK CLOSELY WITH CAPITAL ONE BANK TO DETERMINE OTHER AREAS OF INVOLVEMENT FOR THEM, SUCH AS INTRODUCING THEM TO THE FINANCE ACADEMY AT THE ARL AND HELPING THEM TO BECOME PART OF THE ADVISORY BOARD. 4. TECHNOLOGY IN THE BLACK STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM (BSAP) COMMUNITY BASED LEARNING CENTERS (CBLCS): WE HAVE DONATED TWELVE DESK TOP COMPUTERS WITH OPERATING SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE TO FOUR OF THE CBLCS IN THE COMMUNITY. THESE CENTERS ARE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE HCPSS, THE HOWARD COUNTY HOUSING, RECREATION AND PARKS AND THE COLUMBIA HOUSING CORPORATION, ALONG WITH OTHER PARTNERS. THEY WERE FORMED TO PROVIDE AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING AND HOMEWORK ASSISTANCE, FIELD TRIPS AND PARENT MENTORING SERVICES, AND ARE OVERSEEN BY HCPSS EMPLOYEES. 5.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. |
