| Description | PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVESSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTOVER THE PAST DECADE, THE ALLIANCE HAS DEVELOPED A SERIES OF IMPORTANT CONSENSUS DOCUMENTS INTENDED TO RALLY LFAS CONSTITUENCIES AROUND COMMON STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING TEACHING AND LEARNING: EVERY CHILD READING: AN ACTION PLAN, WHICH CALLS FOR AN END TO THE READING WARS; EVERY CHILD READING: A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT GUIDE, WHICH LAYS OUT WHAT TEACHERS NEED TO KNOW AND BE ABLE TO DO IN EARLY READING; EVERY CHILD MATHEMATICALLY PROFICIENT: AN ACTION PLAN, WHICH CALL FOR EVERY CHILD TO MASTER INTRODUCTORY ALGEBRA AND GEOMETRY BY THE END OF 9TH GRADE; EVERY CHILD LEARNING: SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE SCHOOLS, WHICH OUTLINES THE CRITICAL ELEMENTS OF BUILDING POSITIVE AND SUPPORTIVE SCHOOLS; BEYOND ISLANDS OF EXCELLENCE, A MAJOR STUDY OF DISTRICT-WIDE IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES; AND A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY: STAFFING ALL HIGH-POVERTY, LOW-PERFORMING SCHOOLS WITH EFFECTIVE TEACHERS AND LEADERS, WHICH OFFERS A COMMON FRAMEWORK FOR ENSURING POOR AND MINORITY STUDENTS ACCESS TO THE BEST TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS. THESE DOCUMENTS HAVE INFLUENCED THE POLICIES, TRAINING AND LEADERSHIP STRATEGIES OF LFAS STATE ALLIANCES, ITS MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS, AND THOSE ORGANIZATIONS AFFILIATES, AND BEEN USED BY STATE AND DISTRICT COALITIONS AND COLLABORATIVES IN THEIR EDUCATION REFORM EFFORTS. FEDERAL POLICYWHILE LFA RARELY ENGAGES IN ANY LOBBYING OR ADVOCACY RELATING TO SPECIFIC LEGISLATION, THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES EFFORTS TO CONNECT ITSELF AND ITS MEMBERS TO THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION. LFA HAS ALSO BEGUN TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. OUR TIES TO THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION CONTINUE TO GROW. OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, THE LFA BOARD HAS MET WITH THE OBAMA TRANSITION TEAM; SECRETARY DUNCAN; DUNCANS EARLY CHILDHOOD ADVISOR BARBARA BOWMAN; ASSISTANT DEPUTY SECRETARY FOR THE OFFICE OF SAFE AND DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS KEVIN JENNINGS; ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION THELMA MELNDEZ DE SANTA ANA; DIRECTOR OF THE INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION SCIENCES JOHN Q. EASTON AND OTHER DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS. THE LEADERSHIP COUNCIL HAS HELD A CANDID DISCUSSION WITH ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR PLANNING, EVALUATION AND POLICY DEVELOPMENT CARMEL MARTIN. STATE ALLIANCE LEADERS HELD A CANDID DISCUSSION WITH DEPUTY ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR POLICY AND STRATEGIC INITIATIVES MICHAEL YUDIN.COMMUNICATIONS EFFORTSBUILDING ON INPUT FROM LFAS NATIONAL AND STATE LEADERSHIP AND THE RESULTS OF THE EXTENSIVE PUBLIC OPINION RESEARCH LFA UNDERTOOK BETWEEN 2003 AND 2005, IN FY2007 LFA LAUNCHED A COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGY TO HELP ITS LEADERS PROMOTE A MORE CONSTRUCTIVE NATIONAL DEBATE ON PUBLIC SCHOOL REFORM. THE ALLIANCE CREATED A WEBSITE, WWW.PUBLICSCHOOLINSIGHTS.ORG, AS A MAJOR COMMUNICATIONS VEHICLE TO PROMOTE THIS STRATEGY. WITHOUT TURNING A BLIND EYE TO CURRENT PROBLEMS IN THE NATIONS EDUCATION SYSTEM, THE ALLIANCE WORKED WITH ITS MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS, STATE ALLIANCES AND OTHER EDUCATION STAKEHOLDERS TO GATHER AND DISSEMINATE COMPELLING STORIES ABOUT INNOVATIVE AND SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND DISTRICTS.STATE ALLIANCESLFA MAINTAINS A NETWORK OF STATE-LEVEL ALLIANCES THAT ROUGHLY MIRROR THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE IN COMPOSITION. THERE ARE CURRENTLY THIRTEEN STATE ALLIANCES: ALABAMA, ARIZONA, FLORIDA, KANSAS, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, SOUTH DAKOTA, WEST VIRGINIA AND WASHINGTON. THESE ALLIANCES OF MAJOR EDUCATION ASSOCIATIONS WITHIN STATES PUT ASIDE ISSUES THAT DIVIDE THEIR MEMBERS AND FOCUS INSTEAD ON SHARED GOALS FOR IMPROVING TEACHING AND LEARNING. THEY FIND COMMON GROUND AND DEVELOP COMMON MESSAGES. THEY COMBINE THEIR RESOURCES AND EXPAND THEIR CAPACITY TO SUPPORT PUBLIC EDUCATION. THEY KEEP LFA ABREAST OF STATE-LEVEL ISSUES WHILE ENSURING THE RESONANCE OF LFAS WORK BEYOND THE BELTWAY. THEY CAN ALSO BOTH CREATE AND DISSEMINATE MATERIALS THAT EMERGE FROM LFAS COMMUNICATIONS INITIATIVE.PARTNERING WITH NON-LFA ORGANIZATIONS TO PROMOTE LFA PRIORITIESPARTNERING WITH NON-LFA ORGANIZATIONS TO PROMOTE LFA PRIORITIES HAS BECOME AN AREA OF HIGH PRIORITY. BUILDING ON THE SUCCESS OF A JUNE 2010 JOINT LFA/KNOWLEDGE ALLIANCE FORUM ON THE CHALLENGES OF USING EVIDENCE IN EDUCATION PRACTICE AND POLICYMAKING HELD ON CAPITOL HILL, LFA AND THE KNOWLEDGE ALLIANCE HOSTED A JOINT BOARD DINNER IN WASHINGTON, DC, ALLOWING THE BOARDS OF BOTH ORGANIZATIONS TO CONNECT WITH NEW ORGANIZATIONS AND DISCUSS HOW THEY MIGHT WORK TOGETHER. LFA AND THE KNOWLEDGE ALLIANCE CONTINUE TO EXPLORE POSSIBILITIES FOR JOINT WORK IN AREAS OF COMMON INTEREST. PROFESSIONAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES PROFESSIONAL LEARNING HAS ALSO EMERGED AS A HIGH-PRIORITY AREA FOR LFA. PROFESSIONAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR BOARD MEMBERS INCLUDE BOARD MEETINGS, WHICH FEATURE INFORMAL CONVERSATIONS WITH PROMINENT OUTSIDE SPEAKERS WHO CAN ADDRESS BIG PICTURE MATTERS, OR WHO CAN ADDRESS EDUCATION ISSUES FROM NEW PERSPECTIVES. THEY ALSO FEATURE FACILITATED DISCUSSIONS IN WHICH BOARD EXECUTIVES SHARE INSIGHTS ON, AND STRATEGIES FOR, ADDRESSING SPECIFIC CHALLENGES OF LEADING THEIR MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATION. | Description |

| Return Reference | PART X: | ReturnReference |
| Explanation | IN JUNE 2006, THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (FASB) ISSUED FASB ASC NO. 740-10 [FORMERLY INTERPRETATION NO. 48 (FIN 48)], ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES, WHICH IS AN INTERPRETATION OF ASC 740'S (FORMERLY SFAS NO. 109), ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES. FASB ASC NO. 740-10 CLARIFIES THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES RECOGNIZED IN AN ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASC 740'S AND PRESCRIBES A RECOGNITION THRESHOLD AND MEASUREMENT ATTRIBUTE FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF A TAX POSITION TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN A TAX RETURN. FASB ASC NO. 740-10 REQUIRES THE EVALUATION OF TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN THE COURSE OF PREPARING THE ORGANIZATION'S TAX RETURN TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE TAX POSITIONS HAVE A "MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT" PROBABILITY OF BEING SUSTAINED BY THE APPLICABLE TAX AUTHORITY. TAX POSITIONS DEEMED TO MEET THE "MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT" THRESHOLD WOULD BE RECORDED AS A TAX BENEFIT OR EXPENSE IN THE CURRENT YEAR. FASB ASC NO. 740-10 ALSO PROVIDES GUIDANCE ON DE-RECOGNITION, CLASSIFICATION, INTEREST AND PENALTIES, ACCOUNTING IN INTERIM PERIODS, DISCLOSURE, AND TRANSITION. ANY CUMULATIVE EFFECT FROM THE CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE RESULTING FROM THE APPLICATION OF FASB ASC NO. 740-10 IS TO BE RECOGNIZED AS AN ADJUSTMENT TO OPENING NET ASSETS. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT IT HAS APPROPRIATE SUPPORT FOR ANY TAX POSITIONS TAKEN, AND AS SUCH, DOES NOT HAVE ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT ARE MATERIAL TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. | Explanation |
