19 <br /> 1 - And backbone support, which for the purposes of this projection is managed through the <br /> 2 health department <br /> 3 - In order to make budget projections, we had to determine the number of children we could <br /> 4 potentially reach through FSA in the coming 5 years. We taught our first cohort of K Ready <br /> 5 students last year, and in 5 years those children will be about 11 y/o. And although we started <br /> 6 with rising kindergarteners, we will be building the pipeline down to include early childhood <br /> 7 over the coming years, so we needed to know the total number of children living in poverty <br /> 8 from 0-11 y/o in the zones. <br /> 9 - The most accurate population level data on child poverty within the zones is the number of <br /> 10 children qualifying for free and reduced price lunch. Assuming a stable rate for each age <br /> 11 group, which corresponds with census data, we derived an estimate of the total number of <br /> 12 children meeting this criteria ages 0-11 y/o and an estimate of the number of families that <br /> 13 includes. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 NAVIGATORS <br /> 16 The navigator program is one of FSA's core programs and I'd say it's the lynchpin of our <br /> 17 work. They have a common lived experience of struggling to make ends meet, they are seen as <br /> 18 leaders in their community and build trusting relationships families, they not only connect <br /> 19 families with services, but they inform service providers of how they can best meet family <br /> 20 needs. And they help keep families' voices at the center of our work. <br /> 21 Right now we have five part-time navigators who, by the end of this year, are expected <br /> 22 to reach 90 families. That puts our current reach in the zones at 12% of families living in <br /> 23 poverty. <br /> 24 In terms of budget implications, we are proposing a range, based on the reach of the navigator <br /> 25 program. <br /> 26 The growth of this program will depend on: <br /> 27 - Demand from the community <br /> 28 - Effectiveness of this intervention, as demonstrated by evaluations. And UNC is currently <br /> 29 doing a formative evaluation. <br /> 30 - Resources available to expand <br /> 31 <br /> 32 KINDERGARTEN READINESS <br /> 33 Our plan is to maintain the K Readiness program as it currently exists. Our recent <br /> 34 evaluation data, which will be going out in a press release this week, demonstrates statistically <br /> 35 significant improvement for those children who participated this summer. <br /> 36 We are able to provide the robust summer program for up to 90 children for about $80k. <br /> 37 We just finished our second year of K Readiness and have some lessons learned for how to <br /> 38 improve recruitment that involve: <br /> 39 - Working with the schools to have access to K registration data earlier <br /> 40 - Diversify recruitment mechanisms. More than half of rising K students are not enrolled even <br /> 41 a month before school starts, so we're looking at recruiting through partners like home <br /> 42 visiting programs, Head Start, Pre-K, etc. <br /> 43 <br /> 44 EXTENDED LEARNING/OUT OF SCHOOL TIME <br /> 45 • Maintain current pipeline components and enhance services in zones <br /> 46 • Strategic Plan implementation <br /> 47 • School Innovation Seed Funds <br /> 48 <br /> 49 BACKBONE SUPPORT <br /> 50 <br />
