DescInnovative Educator Network - The Fund continues its partnership with public schools across the city in its drive to enable educator-led teams to reinvent classroom learning in ways that dramatically improve student outcomes. In 2013, this included work to: - Launch the organization's inaugural Summer Design Program, which allowed sixteen public school teams to take part in a summer-long workshop series designed to help them implement small scale innovations within their schools and classrooms. Initial results were promising as schools reported increased engagement amongst students and staff and identified improvements to strengthen their models - Secure participation in Breakthrough Schools: Chicago, a $2 million competition for school designers and other entrepreneurial educators to develop and launch next-generation schools in Chicago that provide personalized instruction. This citywide initiative is designed to move beyond tinkering with what we have, and develop the more effective solutions we need. Seven schools were ultimately selected to receive funding as part of this initiative, six of which participated in the Summer Design Program. - Continue support of New Classrooms, an innovative middle school mathematics model in place at two traditional public schools in Chicago. The major areas of focus were assisting the organization in the development of a long-term sustainability model and in enhancing the services provided at the existing school sites.Desc

DescPrincipal Quality Initiative - The Fund continues its support of investments in increasing principal quality, focusing its efforts on growing the number of high-performing and high-potential principals from 150 to at least 350 by 2018. In 2013, this included work to: - Support an engagement by the Civic Consulting Alliance (CCA) that focused on principal quality in the City of Chicago. CCA worked closely with Chicago Public Schools (CPS) to build and manage a comprehensive, cross-functional strategy with a singular goal: securing an effective, high-quality principal in every school- a principal who is capable of driving and sustaining growth in student achievement. - Assist CPS in identifying and implementing policy changes that provide principals increased decision-making authority in the management of their schools' resourcesDesc

DescFramework for Transformation - The Fund continues to provide strategic support for city-wide efforts to grow a world-class system of public schools. In 2013, this included work to: - Support CPS in the development of its five-year action plan, which outlines key metrics for school and student success, and is supported by individual "pillars." Each pillar has an established owner, and quarterly benchmarks for which owners are responsible. - Assist CPS in the development and approval of a new School Quality Rating Policy (SQRP), which includes a clearer focus on student growth and ultimately allows for clear and equitable comparisons across all schools.Desc

Part IV, Line 2b:The Fund is acting as a fiscal agent for Chicago Public Schools (CPS) in connection with the CPS principal bonus plan which began in 2012. Under this agreement, The Fund has agreed to accept payment of pledges from various donors secured by CPS, and to process payments to school principals, as directed by CPS, for each of the four calendar years from 2012 through 2015. During 2013, $750,000 in pledge payments was collected and recorded to the statement of financial position as a liability. A total of $1,135,000 was disbursed during 2013 for principal bonus payments, reducing the recorded liability and leaving a remaining balance of $159,000 to be disbursed under this agreement in future years.
Part X, Line 2:The Fund is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and similar statutes of Illinois law. In addition, The Fund qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(b)(1)(A) and has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under Section 509(a)(2). The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addressed the determination of whether tax benefits claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, The Fund may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of The Fund and the various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statement from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Fund does not believe that there are any unrecognized tax benefits or tax liabilities that should be recorded for the reporting periods presented in these financial statements. The Fund is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2010.
