WHEN WE LAUNCHED, 30% OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE KANSAS CITY PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT WERE PERFORMING IN THE BOTTOM FIVE PERCENT OF SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF MISSOURI. DESPITE THIS CHALLENGE, SSKC SAW THE POTENTIAL OF OUR COMMUNITY TO WORK TOGETHER IN SUPPORT OF OUR SCHOOLS THROUGH COORDINATED STRATEGIES TO BOOST SCHOOL PERFORMANCE AND INCREASE STUDENT SUCCESS.(CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)SINCE OUR WORK STARTED, WORKING CLOSELY WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND OUR SCHOOLS, SCHOOLSMARTKC HAS INVESTED OVER $30 MILLION INTO SCHOOLS AND EDUCATION PARTNERS IN KANSAS CITY. THESE INVESTMENTS, WHICH INCLUDE DIRECT SUPPORT TO 100% OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND LEAS IN THE CITY, HAVE SEEN TANGIBLE IMPROVEMENTS TO SCHOOLS IN THE FORM OF NEW OFFERINGS, EXPANDED PROGRAMMING, AND IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY IN THE HANDS OF OUR STUDENTS. THEY HAVE ALSO ALLOWED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION OF DEEPER COLLECTIVE EFFORTS TO ADDRESS ISSUES SURROUNDING FAMILY ENGAGEMENT, RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF EDUCATORS, AND THE CRITICAL NEED FOR PRE-K SOLUTIONS IN OUR CITY.NOW, EIGHT (8) YEARS INTO OUR WORK, OUR RESOLVE IS STRONGER THAN EVER.

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.
