WITH NONPROFIT PARTNERS, WE LAUNCHED THE NASHVILLE CHILD AND YOUTH COLLABORATIVE TO FOCUS MAYORAL CANDIDATES' ATTENTION ON THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH AND COHOSTED A MAYOR'S FORUM WITH WPLN. WE CONTINUED TO INVEST IN WHAT WORKS THROUGH OUR TEACHERPRENEUR PROGRAM, BLUE RIBBON TEACHER AWARDS, THE SCIENCE OF LEARNING SERIES, AND TECH GOES HOME, A PROGRAM THAT PROVIDE LAPTOPS FREE OF CHARGE TO MNPS FAMILIES IN EXCHANGE FOR PARTICIPATING IN DIGITAL LITERACY TRAINING. WE ALSO SUPPORTED THE DISTRICT'S MUSIC MAKES US PROGRAMMING AND PARTNERED WITH THE COUNTRY MUSIC ASSOCIATION FOUNDATION TO DISTRIBUTE THE MUSIC TEACHERS OF EXCELLENCE AWARDS. WE SERVED AS A COLLABORATIVE THOUGHT PARTNER TO THE DISTRICT BY HEPING TO FACILITATE TWO PARTNERSHIPS - THE PARTNERSHP FOR EDUCATIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH BETWEEN VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY AND MNPS AND THE BETTER TOGETHER INITIATIVE BETWEEN NASHVILLE STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND MNPS. FINALLY, WE CONTINUED OUR INVESTMENT IN SCHOOL LEADERSHIP BY PARTNERING WITH THE TENNESSEE EDUCATION RESEARCH ALLIANCE AT VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY TO ANALYZE THE DEMOGRAPHICS AND QUALITY OF NASHVILLE'S PRINCIPALS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
