Office of Institutional Advancement Report 2010-2011

November 2011

Hartford Public Schools is the State Capital’s Portfolio District of Excellence!

www.hartfordschools.org

November 2011 Delivering on a quality education for every child is the core work of the Hartford Public Schools. But we cannot accomplish our goals alone. We count on the support of many individuals and organizations locally and nationally. Our partners not only provide significant financial support but also tremendous intellectual and human capital. As we work towards realizing our vision of becoming Connecticut’s “Portfolio District of Excellence,” it is essential that we structure our entire organization to fulfill that role and provide leadership to ensure alignment with our partners. Our work during the 2010‐2011 academic year was characterized by an emphasis on growing and strengthening partnerships across the District. This report provides a broad overview of the work supported by many of our strategic partners. It represents an investment of approximately $15 million, which we consider to be a conservative figure. As we transition to this next phase of our reform and continue to improve student achievement, we will focus on creating a continuum of partnerships in alignment with our Strategic Operating Plan goals: Third Grade Promise; Middle Years Redesign; and College Readiness. We are grateful for the support we receive from all our partners and look forward to working with them in fulfilling our vision and mission as an educational organization. We take great pride in our collective effort as a community to deliver on a quality education for every child in the City of Hartford. Kelvin Roldán, M.A. Executive Director

Office of Institutional Advancement Report 2010‐2011 This report is meant to provide a broad overview of some of the initiatives supported by Hartford Public Schools’ strategic partners. While it is not an exhaustive list of what is going on in our district, this overview provides a glimpse into the diversity and richness of the programs and agreements supported by the district. This framework will also help us plan for the future as we align the work to the three goals articulated in the Strategic Operating Plan: Third Grade Promise; Middle Grades Redesign; and College Readiness. Survey Background and Methodology In February 2011, the Office of Strategic Partnerships1 sent a brief survey to 52 community‐based youth program providers throughout Hartford. We worked particularly hard to reduce double‐counting and to avoid redundancies. As a result, we believe this report accurately represents the state of partnerships in our schools across the district. This year, the second phase of the survey included school principals. School leaders reviewed the survey results and provided additional information. The cumulative results report that 47 organizations provided a total of 177 programs in 45 schools. In total, 10,801, approximately 50% of our PreK‐12 students, were served through the 177 reported programs. The survey results show the following:

• 47 community‐based organizations • 177 programs2, which includes:

o 122 programs serving students in elementary schools o 54 programs serving students in secondary schools o 1 program at the Adult Education Center

• 10,801 students served3 o 8,712 students in elementary schools4 o 2,089 students in secondary schools5

• More than $8.1 million dollars have been leveraged through various funders by the community‐based organizations.6

1 The Office of Strategic Partnerships transitioned into the Office of Institutional Advancement July 2011. 2 This is the number of programs reported on the School-Based Partnerships Survey, released by the Office of Strategic Partnerships in February 2011. 3This number is a duplicated count based on the number of students served reported by survey respondents. 4 Refer to the Survey Results Summary Sheet to view the list of elementary schools. These schools represent mostly PreK - Grade 8 school students. 5 Refer to the Survey Results Summary Sheet to view the list of secondary schools. These schools represent mostly Grades 6-12 school students. 6This is the total funding reported on the School-Based Partnerships Survey. Many programs and organizations did not report their funding. Therefore this figure is a very low estimate of the actual total.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Teach for America Teach for America (“TFA”) is the national corps of top recent college graduates in all academic majors who commit two years to teach in urban and rural public schools. The program’s long‐term intent is to produce lifelong leaders in the effort to expand educational opportunity. As an alternative route to certification program in Connecticut, Hartford Public Schools partners with TFA to recruit students from America’s top colleges and universities. Teach for America provides all the necessary training and professional development for every teacher recruit. TFA’s involvement with HPS began in the 2007‐2008 academic year, and a first three‐year agreement was initiated in the 2008‐2009 school year. Recently, HPS signed another three‐year agreement with TFA that will expire June 30, 2014. As our lead funder, The Hartford made a five‐year grant to Teach for America in the amount of $1 million.

MEMORANDA OF UNDERSTANDING AND SPECIALIZED AGREEMENTS

Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy Memorandum of Understanding Trinity College is a highly competitive non‐profit institution of higher education specializing in the liberal arts. Its mission states, “Trinity College is a community united in a quest for excellence in liberal arts education. Our purpose is to foster critical thinking, free the mind of parochialism and prejudice, and prepare students to lead examined lives that are personally satisfying, civically responsible, and socially useful.” The Hartford Public Schools is responsible for the delivery of a quality education to the children of the City of Hartford. Its mission states, “Hartford’s system of schools exist to provide students with access to participation in a global economy through attainment of Academic Standards of the State of Connecticut and readiness for post‐secondary education.” This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) established a means for collaboration and co‐management of Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy, formerly Hartford Magnet Middle School, which in 2011 received the distinction of being named the best magnet school in the United States. Some MOU highlights are as follows:

• School Governance Council: Trinity and Hartford Public Schools agreed to a joint management structure in which the President of Trinity College will serve as Honorary Chairman.

• Faculty: Faculty from the College will be involved in the design and

periodic evaluation and redesign of academic programs designed to prepare Academy students for acceptance into the Early College Academy and to prepare students for admission to college.

• Students: Students from the College may serve as tutors and mentors at

the Academy and will be afforded priority placement for internships, teaching positions and other training opportunities.

• Pre‐9th Grade Writing & Study Skills Program: Academy students will

participate in a two (2) week intensive writing program during the summer prior to entering the 9th grade. The student will have the

12

opportunity to complete one of four sessions. These students must complete the program “satisfactorily” in order to commence 9th grade at the Academy. The program will be co‐taught by faculty from the College and from the Academy. The Academy agrees to share in the cost of running the program.

• Pre‐10th Grade Science & Study Skills Program: Both parties desire to

design a science program similar to the Pre‐9th Grade Writing & Study Skills Program. Both parties agree to design said program during the 2011‐2012 academic year.

• Early College Academy: The agreement provides Academy students the

opportunity to take beginning level courses at the college. Academy students may apply in the second half of their junior year to enroll during the senior year of high school.

This agreement shall be in place for a period of ten (10) years with an additional ten (10) year renewal.

13

District/Charter Collaboration Compact Gates Foundation, Achievement First, Jumoke Academy Hartford Public Schools is one of nine districts across the country invited by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to be part of the District/Charter Collaboration Compact. Other cities/districts are expected to join the compact work as it evolves. Early inclusion of Hartford is recognition of our work as a national reform leader. The eight other districts are: Baltimore, Denver, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Nashville, Tenn., New Orleans, New York City, and Rochester, N.Y. This agreement creates a standard for collaboration between Hartford Public Schools and the two charter schools within the geographic boundaries of the City of Hartford: Achievement First and Jumoke Academy. At the forefront of the agreement is the intent to work together for the benefit of all students in Hartford, and to ensure that all children have access to high‐quality public schools. Agreement highlights include:

• Working in partnership with charter schools as partners in the city‐wide effort to provide an excellent education for all students and closing the achievement gap.

• Ensuring transparency and accountability regarding student

demographics, mobility and achievement, particularly college readiness, including publicly tracking and reporting data annually.

• Actively sharing demonstrated best practices among partners.

• While responding to parent demand, working with the district to locate

new schools in highest‐need areas, connected to district feeder patterns and Choice.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation made an award of $100,000 in support of the implementation of compact components. In addition, the partnership is eligible to participate in a national Request for Proposals which will be released by the Gates Foundation in December, 2011.

University of Hartford Affiliation Agreement This is the first agreement in the State of Connecticut, and possibly the country, that establishes a formal affiliation between a private university and public school system. The Agreement establishes a means for cooperative efforts between the Parties, particularly in the areas of faculty and student related matters, hiring practices, academic and research information between the two educational institutions, educational programming, economic development, and other activities as may be mutually agreed. More specifically, the agreement components are as follows:

• Faculty: The Parties may pursue the joint hiring and retention of teaching and administrative positions. Also, Board personnel and faculty may be afforded continuing education opportunities at the University.

development opportunities which may benefit the HartfordPublic Schools, the University, and their students and faculty, as well as their respective communities and the region as a whole.

• Research: The University’s Institute for Translational Research –

primarily through the CLPE – may develop research programs in certain HPS sites that are designed to:

o advance each Party’s research agenda;

o promote and assist in the hiring and retention of University students by the Board; and

o help the University develop teachers with an urban education emphasis.

• School Based Collaborations: Several HPS sites will be identified as

having a more particular relationship with the University whereby mutually beneficial programming will be sought and promoted to each

15

such school. These sites may also have members of the University’s faculty or administration serving on school governance councils. The Parties will explore translational research center locations at currently identified HPS sites including, but not limited to, the following:

i. Bentances Early Reading Lab School; ii. Global Communications Academy; iii. Montessori Magnet at Annie Fisher; iv. STEM Magnet School at Annie Fisher; v. University High School of Science and Engineering;

and vi. Weaver High School.

The agreement shall be in effect for a period of five (5) years with an additional five (5) year renewal.

16

Hartford Public Library Memorandum of Understanding This agreement provides a means for cooperation between the Hartford Public Schools and Hartford Public Library. More specifically, the goal was to relocate the Mark Twain Branch of the Hartford Public Library to the Lewis Fox Memorial Media Center at Hartford Public High School. In addition, the parties agree to work together to best maximize their respective expertise and facilities for the benefit of the people of Hartford. It is anticipated that the West Middle Elementary School will be the future permanent location of the Mark Twain Branch. Hours of operation are as follows:

12:30 – 7:30 P.M. Mondays 12:30 – 5:30 P.M. Tuesdays – Thursdays 12:30 – 5:00 P.M. Fridays 9:00 A.M. – 1:00 P.M. Saturdays CLOSED Sundays

17

Connecticut Public Broadcasting, Inc. Memorandum of Understanding This agreement establishes a means for cooperation between Hartford Public Schools and Connecticut Public Broadcasting, Inc. (“CPBN”). Specifically, the agreement delineates the instructional relationship between CPBN and the Journalism and Media Academy. This agreement is touted to be a first in the national public broadcasting industry. The Journalism and Media Capstone Lab will be housed on floors 4 and 5 of the CPBN campus located at 1049 Asylum Avenue. One‐hundred (100) seniors will complete their senior year at CBPN’s headquarters in Asylum Hill. In addition, incoming freshmen will spend 1 to 2 weeks at the beginning of the academic year at the Capstone Lab. Finally, an after‐school program will be developed in partnership with CPBN in alignment with the Board of Education‐approved curriculum design. CPBN, for example, will be responsible for:

• Providing media industry expertise consistent with the curriculum design approved by the Board of Education;

• Operations/engineering, media industry instructional staff support and program management services in support of the curriculum; and

• Raising necessary capital and build‐out of the facility according to industry standards.

Hartford Public Schools will be responsible for leading the instructional program and all services required by law.

18

Our Piece of the Pie ® Memorandum of Understanding This agreement establishes a three (3) year partnership with Our Piece of the Pie (“OPP”) and Opportunity High School.

Our Piece of the Pie will provide youth development, workforce development and college/post secondary awareness/readiness support as well as OPP’s Youth Business program to OHS students, as outlined in the Design Specifications approved by the Hartford Board of Education on December 16, 2008. All students enrolled at OHS will become members of OPP’s Pathways to Success program, thereby enabling them to receive services through and beyond their high school years, into their post‐secondary education and employment careers. The funds provided by Hartford Public Schools cover a portion of the total cost of operating the school. OPP, in partnership with the Office of Institutional Advancement, is committed and responsible for raising the balance of the funds.

19

Hartford Board of Education and School‐Community Partnership Memorandum of Understanding The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding is to establish further agreement between Hartford Public Schools and the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving concerning the continued support and operation of Hartford Community Schools in collaboration with the Hartford School‐Community Partnership presently comprising Hartford Public Schools, the City of Hartford Mayor’s Office (represented by the Department of Families, Children, Youth & Recreation), Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, the United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut, and Achieve Hartford! The Partnership hereby agrees to continue supporting the implementation of Community Schools with the commitment of financial resources (in addition to those indirect contributions of resources previously committed by the District and the Foundation such as staff time, transportation, security, and custodial services). Together, the contributions of the Partnership comprise a portion of the total cost to continue to grow full‐service community schools in Hartford. It is expected that, to the fullest extent possible, the Partnership will supplement these contributions. It is further expected that both individual community school sites and the Partnership will leverage these contributions to secure the total resources needed to support Community Schools’ quality implementation and operation. The Partnership will cooperatively review actual disbursements of funds committed for the purposes stated above. Disbursements will be conditioned upon Hartford Community Schools’ performance in meeting goals and objectives of the Partnership as set forth in the Hartford Model of Community Schools and Community Schools Policy.

20

School Based Programs Survey Results 2010-2011

The Office of Strategic Partnerships sent a brief survey to fifty-two community-based youth program providers in February 2011. The survey was conducted to provide data on youth programs operating in partnership with Hartford Public Schools for the 2010-2011 school year. The results of this survey, based on responses from thirty-two agencies and thirteen schools, will allow us to gain an understanding of the services community-based agencies are providing in school-based locations and the resources available to support our academic goals for children in the city. This data is meant to be a snapshot in time as funding for youth programs in schools is constantly changing and from various sources.
