(CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)PREP-KC WORKS WITH THESE URBAN DISTRICTS TO SUPPORT AT-SCALE IMPROVEMENTS IN UNDERSERVED STUDENTS' OUTCOMES, MOST OF WHOM ARE FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE-GOERS. IN ADDITION, PREP-KC INVESTS IN RESEARCH-BASED STRATEGIES THAT WILL PREPARE STUDENTS FOR CAREERS IN HIGH-DEMAND, WELL-PAYING JOBS IN THE KANSAS CITY REGION. 1 0 1978115 81257 376308 PREP-KC PARTNERS WITH SIX SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND FOUR CHARTER SCHOOLS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STATE LINE. TOGETHER, THESE DISTRICTS SERVE 67,000 STUDENTS AND PRODUCE OVER 3,800 ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES; 80% IDENTIFY AS STUDENTS OF COLOR, AND 84% ARE LOW-INCOME. PREP-KC'S PARTNER SCHOOLS SERVE 19 OF THE 20 ZIP CODES WITH THE LOWEST MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN THE 9-COUNTY METROPOLITAN AREA. ALL REPRESENT DIVERSE, CULTURALLY RICH, AND TALENTED COMMUNITIES. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)SINCE 2019, PREP-KC HAS MADE IT OUR PRIORITY TO HELP STUDENTS FROM THE REGION'S URBAN HIGH SCHOOLS EARN MARKET VALUE ASSETS (MVAS) THAT WILL BOOST THEIR CHANCES OF SUCCESS IN COLLEGE AND THEIR CAREERS. MVAS ARE UNIQUE ASSETS THAT GIVE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS A COMPETITIVE EDGE AS THEY TRANSITION TO COLLEGE AND THE WORKFORCE. PREP-KC FIRST USED THE TERM "MARKET VALUE ASSETS" TO DESCRIBE THIS SET OF EXPERIENCES IN 2016 AND IS PLEASED THAT THE CONCEPT HAS SINCE BEEN ADOPTED REGIONALLY BY THE KAUFFMAN FOUNDATION'S REALWORLD LEARNING INITIATIVE, KC RISING'S PLAN FOR REGIONAL ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS, AND K-12 EDUCATION POLICY IN KANSAS AND MISSOURI. PREP-KC CURRENTLY TRACKS THE FOLLOWING MVAS EARNED BY STUDENTS ATTENDING OUR 20-PARTNER URBAN HIGH SCHOOLS: 1) NINE OR MORE COLLEGE CREDITS EARNED IN HIGH SCHOOL, 2) AN INDUSTRY-RECOGNIZED CREDENTIAL EARNED IN HIGH SCHOOL, 3) COMPLETION OF AN INTERNSHIP OR CLIENT-CONNECTED PROJECT IN HIGH SCHOOL, OR 4) COMPLETION OF AN ENTREPRENEURIAL EXPERIENCE IN HIGH SCHOOL.AS WE APPROACH THE FINAL YEAR OF OUR SIX-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN FOCUSED ON MARKET VALUE ASSET ATTAINMENT, WE HAVE SEEN SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS TOWARD HELPING 10,000 GRADUATES EARN AN MVA BY 2025. OVER 6,213 GRADUATES FROM THE CLASSES OF 2019-2023 ARE ALREADY BENEFITING FROM THESE OPPORTUNITIES, AND PREP-KC IS ON A PATH TO EXCEEDING OUR 10,000 MVA TARGET BY 2025. WE HAVE ALSO BEGUN DOCUMENTING THE STORIES OF STUDENTS FROM OUR URBAN HIGH SCHOOLS WHO HAVE GRADUATED AND ARE BENEFITING FROM THEIR MVAS.SINCE FIRST IMPLEMENTING THE CONNECTOR PLATFORM IN 2018, URBAN SCHOOLS' INTEREST IN CONNECTING THEIR STUDENTS WITH INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS IN THE CLASSROOM HAS SOARED. DURING THE 2022-2023 SCHOOL YEAR, WE HOSTED 1,949 CONNECTOR SESSIONS THAT LOGGED 38,980 STUDENT VIEWS. THESE SESSIONS FEATURED A DIVERSE SET OF INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS, WITH 40% OF CONNECTOR SESSIONS FEATURING A PROFESSIONAL OF COLOR. WITH COACHING FROM PREP-KC, KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, AND HICKMAN MILLS USED THE CONNECTOR TO ENSURE THAT OVER 90% OF THEIR PRE-K THROUGH 5TH-GRADE STUDENTS ENGAGED WITH MULTIPLE INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS EACH SCHOOL YEAR, AND OUR OTHER PARTNER DISTRICTS HAVE ADOPTED CONNECTOR IMPLEMENTATION PLANS BASED ON THE SUCCESS OF THESE EARLY ADOPTER DISTRICTS.IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ORACLE CERNER, PREP-KC DESIGNED THE PATHWAYS TO TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM TO GIVE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS A HEAD START ON A POSTSECONDARY DEGREE AND A CAREER IN TECHNOLOGY-RELATED FIELDS. DATA INDICATES THAT FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE-GOERS AND LOW-INCOME STUDENTS OFTEN LACK ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND EXPERIENCES THAT PREPARE THEM FOR CAREER SUCCESS. FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS, PATHWAYS TO TECHNOLOGY HAS HELPED CLOSE EQUITY AND ACCESS GAPS FOR STUDENTS IN THE REGION'S URBAN SCHOOL DISTRICTS BY PROVIDING ACCESS TO A SET OF EXPERIENCES THAT PREPARE THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN COLLEGE AND THE HIGH-GROWTH TECH INDUSTRY AREAS WHERE NEARLY FOUR THOUSAND JOBS GO UNFILLED YEARLY IN KANSAS CITY ALONE.THIRTY-FOUR STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR PARTICIPATED IN THE PATHWAYS TO TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM IN SOME CAPACITY, EITHER BY ENROLLING IN A COLLEGE-LEVEL COMPUTER PROGRAMMING COURSE (3 CREDIT HOURS) TAUGHT ON-SITE AT ORACLE CERNER, ENGAGING IN A CLIENT-CENTERED PROJECT, OR COMPLETING AN INTERNSHIP WITH A LOCAL BUSINESS. ALONG WITH TECHNICAL SKILLS, PATHWAYS TO TECHNOLOGY ALLOWED STUDENTS TO EXPLORE CAREERS FURTHER AND ENRICH THEIR LEARNING EXPERIENCES BY HEARING FROM PROFESSIONALS IN VARIOUS COMPUTER SCIENCE FIELDS, SHARING THEIR EXPERIENCES, AND LEARNING WITH OTHERS. STUDENTS FROM CENTER, CENTRAL, EAST (KCPS), GRANDVIEW, AND RUSKIN (HICKMAN MILLS) HIGH SCHOOLS PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM.PREP-KC IS PROUD OF OUR WORK BUILDING THE FOUNDATION OF A ROBUST LITERACY ECOSYSTEM IN THE HICKMAN MILLS SCHOOL DISTRICT OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS. OUR WORK HAS RESULTED IN THE DISTRICT DEVELOPING A COMPREHENSIVE, DISTRICT-WIDE APPROACH TO K-5 LITERACY INSTRUCTION THAT TEACHERS CONSISTENTLY IMPLEMENT ACROSS ALL CLASSROOMS. PREP-KC HELPED THE DISTRICT BUILD A COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR THIS LITERACY APPROACH THAT INCLUDED PEER LEADERS, INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES, AND ADMINISTRATORS TRAINED IN THE LITERACY MODEL. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE DISTRICT'S RECENT HISTORY, HICKMAN MILLS HAS THE FOUNDATIONAL COMPONENTS TO CONSISTENTLY PROVIDE ALL STUDENTS WITH HIGH-QUALITY, EVIDENCE-BASED LITERACY INSTRUCTION IN GRADES K-5. BASED ON THIS PROGRESS OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS, THE HICKMAN MILLS SUPERINTENDENT HAS RECOMMITTED TO EARLY LITERACY AS A TOP PRIORITY FOR THE DISTRICT AND INCLUDED PRE-K LITERACY IN THIS INITIATIVE TO ACCELERATE READING ACHIEVEMENT IN THE PRIMARY GRADES.HICKMAN MILLS 2023 3RD GRADE READING SCORES ON THE MISSOURI STATE ASSESSMENT REFLECT A 6.2-POINT IMPROVEMENT OVER THE 30.5-POINT GAP BETWEEN BASELINE HICKMAN MILLS STATE READING ASSESSMENT SCORES AND STATEWIDE PROFICIENCY RATES COLLECTED IN 2019. 1978115 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 65 0 1 15 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 MO X X E2E LLC NANCY MCCULLOUGH 8164619255 519 SW BOULEVARD KANSAS CITY MO 64108 CHRIS GENTILE BOARD CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID WARM FINANCE CHAIR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RAY DANIELS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDRE DAVIS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TOM FORRESTER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 EDWARD F HONESTY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MADELINE ROMIOUS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN C WIMES DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN WALLY CEO & PRESIDENT 60.00 X 162500 0 4875 DOUG ELMER VICE PRESIDENT 60.00 X 152500 0 4575 SUSAN ENGLEMANN BENCHMARKING COACH 40.00 X 113000 0 11891 428000 0 21341 3 0 1 0 PATHFUL INC (NEPRIS) 5540 CENTERVIEW DR STE 204 RALEIGH NC 27606 WHITE LABEL FEES, SITE LICENSES 118500 CRAFTSMAN TECHNOLOGY GROUP 186 LINCOLN ST STE 500 BOSTON MA 02111 SALESFORCE CONFIGURATION, MANAGED SERVIC 107334 2 25000 445300 1671762 2142062 DISTRICT COST SHARING 611710 376308 376308 376308 97434 97434 311297 304037 7260 7260 7260 2623064 376308 0 104694 X 10000 10000 71257 71257 324450 209187 43222 72041 820217 778873 10565 30779 24574 23264 318 992 97915 92832 1435 3648 86473 75118 3818 7537 92222 92222 15250 15250 339289 339289 43626 29220 13650 756 258500 258500 32629 31732 897 71151 52239 9456 9456 7580 6604 333 643 12028 12028 2307161 1978115 203194 125852 2059356 305337 540701 852581 95296 104718 232750 153710 20400 16320 6120 4080 2032159 4065545 8311 2771 4974693 5488742 65367 171683 65367 171683 X 4359876 4498526 549450 818533 4909326 5317059 4974693 5488742 315903 91830 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 875105 1840153 1371454 1275945 2142062 7504719 875105 1840153 1371454 1275945 2142062 7504719 3406414 4098305 105383 76607 45477 48098 97434 372999 7877718 720193 0.52020 0.47970 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 20400 16320 4080 4080 X 2795968 91830 81520 173350 2622618 446 446 2623064 2388235 81520 81520 2306715 446 446 2307161 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN GRANTED EXEMPTION FROM INCOME TAXES BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.

DATA SCIENCE IS A CRITICAL SKILL FOR STUDENTS TO SUCCEED IN BOTH THE WORKFORCE AND SOCIETY, BUT SCHOOLS DO NOT CURRENTLY PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH EXPOSURE TO RIGOROUS, REAL-WORLD DATA SCIENCE. PREP-KC IS CONNECTING STUDENTS AND TEACHERS WITH OUR INDUSTRY PARTNERS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW DATA SCIENCE DRIVES THE WORLD AROUND US AND HAS BECOME AN INDISPENSABLE SKILL ACROSS NEARLY EVERY OCCUPATION. OUR DATA IN ACTION COURSE ALLOWS EIGHTH-GRADE STUDENTS TO DEVELOP DATA LITERACY AND LEARN CRITICAL STEM SKILLS THROUGH A CURRICULUM THAT BLENDS PROJECT-BASED LEARNING WITH COLLEGE AND CAREER EXPLORATION. THROUGHOUT THE COURSE, STUDENTS ENGAGE WITH INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS WHOSE WORK WITH DATA IS CENTRAL TO THEIR PROFESSION. STUDENTS WILL ALSO WORK WITH AUTHENTIC DATASETS TO COMPLETE VARIOUS PROJECTS SHOWCASING THEIR EMERGING MASTERY OF DATA SCIENCE THROUGH PROJECTS FOCUSED ON STUDENTS' INTERESTS. TO HELP TEACHERS SUCCEED WITH THIS NEW CONTENT AND TO PROVIDE ENGAGING PEDAGOGY, PREP-KC HAS DEVELOPED COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT FOR THESE DATA SCIENCE TEACHERS. MIDDLE SCHOOL DATA SCIENCE TEACHERS CAN RELY ON THIS SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AS THEY INTEGRATE VARIOUS REAL-WORLD LEARNING EXPERIENCES INTO THE COURSE. THESE TEACHERS WILL RECEIVE ASSISTANCE TO HOST INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS IN THEIR CLASSROOMS THREE TIMES DURING THE SEMESTER. THESE PROFESSIONALS WILL SERVE AS CO-TEACHERS AND STUDENT MENTORS. TEACHERS HAVE ALSO RECEIVED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO USE AND COACH STUDENTS TO BECOME PROFICIENT WITH TABLEAU, A DATA VISUALIZATION SOFTWARE POPULAR IN VARIOUS INDUSTRIES. MOST STUDENTS WILL DEVELOP ENOUGH MASTERY OF TABLEAU TO EARN AN INDUSTRY-RECOGNIZED DATA ANALYTICS CREDENTIAL AT THE END OF THIS 8TH-GRADE COURSE.
