• NC RESILIENCE AND LEARNING PROJECT - THE NC RESILIENCE AND LEARNING PROJECT WORKS WITH HIGH-POVERTY SCHOOLS ACROSS THE STATE WHERE STUDENT TRAUMA IS PREVALENT. OUR MODEL IS A WHOLE SCHOOL, WHOLE-CHILD FRAMEWORK TO CREATE TRAUMA-SENSITIVE SCHOOLS THAT WILL IMPROVE ACADEMIC, BEHAVIORAL, AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS. THE CDC-KAISER PERMANENTE ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES (ACE) STUDY FOUND THAT ROUGHLY 64% OF THE OVER 17,000 PARTICIPANTS REPORTED HAVING AT LEAST ONE ACE (ACES INCLUDE ABUSE, NEGLECT, AND HOUSEHOLD DYSFUNCTION SUCH AS A HOME WITH SUBSTANCE ABUSE, MENTAL ILLNESS, MOTHER BEING TREATED VIOLENTLY, OR AN INCARCERATED RELATIVE). RESEARCH SHOWS ACES CAN ACTUALLY ALTER BRAIN DEVELOPMENT AND CAUSE CHEMICALLY TOXIC EFFECTS IN THE BRAIN RESULTING IN CHILDREN REMAINING IN A CONSTANT STATE OF "SURVIVAL MODE" LEADING TO THE FIGHT, FLIGHT, OR FREEZE RESPONSE. THIS REACTION RESULTS IN MAJOR IMPACTS IN CHILDREN'S LEARNING, CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR, AND RELATIONSHIPS. STUDENTS WITH ACES HAVE HIGHER RATES OF OFFICE REFERRALS, SUSPENSIONS, AND RETENTION AS WELL AS LOWER ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. OUR PROJECT HAS TWO COMPONENTS: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR SCHOOL-WIDE STAFF AND THE FORMATION OF A SCHOOL STEERING COMMITTEE WHO MEET REGULARLY AND SERVE AS THE CHAMPIONS OF THIS WORK. THE COMMITTEE IDENTIFIES AREAS OF URGENCY, CREATES, AND IMPLEMENTS SPECIFIC TRAUMA-SENSITIVE STRATEGIES FOR STUDENTS EXPERIENCING TRAUMA IN ORDER TO POSITIVELY INFLUENCE LEARNING AND ACADEMIC SUCCESS. THE 2021-2022 SCHOOL YEAR WILL BE OUR FIFTH YEAR OF IMPLEMENTATION. WE HAVE PROVIDED TRAINING AND/OR COACHING IN 23 SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE.

• Withheld by Nonprofiteer: this text may name a private individual.

  Expenses $646,666 · Revenue $317,606

As filed on the 2022 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

Listed in Part VII

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.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
