• K-12 LEARNING: ATTENDANCE AND ENGAGEMENT UWNCNM'S ATTENDANCE TEAM SUPPORT GROUP (A COLLECTIVE IMPACT TEAM MADE UP OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS, SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND THE NM PUBLIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT) OFFERS IN-PERSON CONFERENCES TWICE YEARLY AND VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS FOR SCHOOL-BASED ATTENDANCE TEAMS STATEWIDE. THE TRAININGS OFFER TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES TEAMS CAN USE TO IMPLEMENT THE ATTENDANCE FOR SUCCESS ACT AND REDUCE CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM. IN FEBRUARY 2023, THE TEAM ORGANIZED AN ATTENDANCE CONFERENCE WITH 340 PARTICIPANTS FROM 25 NEW MEXICO SCHOOL DISTRICTS. AFTER THE EVENT, 85% OF PARTICIPANTS INDICATED THAT THEY FELT MORE PREPARED TO IMPLEMENT THEIR ATTENDANCE IMPROVEMENT PLAN AT THEIR SCHOOL. IN FALL 2023, THE TEAM HOSTED AN ATTENDANCE CONFERENCE WITH 401 IN-PERSON PARTICIPANTS AND 82 LIVESTREAM PARTICIPANTS FROM 28 SCHOOL DISTRICTS AROUND THE STATE. AFTER THE EVENT, 84% OF PARTICIPANTS SAID THAT THEY FELT BETTER ABOUT THE DIRECTION OF THEIR ATTENDANCE WORK AND 88% SAID THAT THEY HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THEY NEED TO DO FOR ATTENDANCE AT THEIR SCHOOL. COLLEGE/CAREER READINESS: VALENCIA COUNTY PARTNERSHIP FOR A WORK READY COMMUNITY SINCE 2017, UWNCNM'S VALENCIA COUNTY PARTNERSHIP FOR A WORK READY COMMUNITY HAS BEEN BUILDING A SHARED UNDERSTANDING OF EMPLOYERS' NEEDS SO STUDENTS CAN BE BETTER PREPARED FOR ALL POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITIES AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. THE PARTNERSHIP HAS WORKED WITH NEARLY 6,000 STUDENTS, 153 TEACHERS AND 93 BUSINESSES. PROJECTS INCLUDE RESUME WRITING WORKSHOPS, MOCK INTERVIEWS, EMPLOYER PRESENTATIONS, STUDENT VIDEOS OF CAREER EXPLORATIONS AND HIRING FAIRS AT LOS LUNAS, VALENCIA AND CENTURY HIGH SCHOOLS. IN THE ANNUAL SUMMER TEACHER ACADEMY, EMPLOYERS PRESENT TO TEACHERS ON THE SKILLS THEY LOOK FOR WHEN HIRING. PARTICIPANTS COME FROM BELEN, LOS LUNAS, SCHOOL OF DREAMS AND MORIARTY EDGEWOOD SCHOOLS. CONSISTENTLY, NEARLY 90% OF STUDENTS SAY THEY HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE SKILLS NEEDED IN THE WORKPLACE AND 99% OF TEACHERS REPORT A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT EMPLOYERS ARE LOOKING FOR. ADULTS IN EDUCATION ALMOST 300,000 ADULTS IN CENTRAL NEW MEXICO DO NOT HAVE A COLLEGE DEGREE OR CERTIFICATE. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT, IN ADDITION TO EARNING MORE, PEOPLE WITH A HIGHER EDUCATION CREDENTIAL ARE MORE ECONOMICALLY RESILIENT AND BETTER ABLE TO SURVIVE ECONOMIC DOWNTURNS. CHILDREN OF PARENTS WITH POST-HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION ARE MORE LIKELY TO COMPLETE HIGH SCHOOL AND ATTAIN A CREDENTIAL THEMSELVES. UWNCNM WORKS WITH SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, EMPLOYERS AND GOVERNMENT TO ADDRESS BARRIERS AND CREATE A SYSTEM OF SUPPORT FOR ADULTS WHO WANT TO COMPLETE AN EDUCATIONAL CREDENTIAL BUT NEED HELP TO DO IT. FINISH LINE FUND WHEN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS PLACE A HOLD ON STUDENT ACCOUNTS DUE TO AN UNPAID BALANCE, IT CAN DERAIL A STUDENT'S COURSE OF STUDY. A SMALL AMOUNT DUE MAY PREVENT THEM FROM RE-REGISTERING FOR THEIR NEXT SEMESTER. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CNM, UWNCNM ESTABLISHED THE FINISH LINE FUND TO CLEAR BURSAR HOLDS ON ACCOUNTS WITH BALANCES OF 500 OR LESS, ALLOWING STUDENTS TO CONTINUE TO ENROLL IN CLASSES AND COMPLETE THEIR COURSE OF STUDY. FUNDS ARE PRIORITIZED FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE AT 75% OF COMPLETION OF A DEGREE OR CREDENTIAL. IN 2022, 5,158 WAS AWARDED TO 18 STUDENTS. HIGHER EDUCATION ACCESS & SUCCESS ECHO THIS VIRTUAL NETWORK INVITES COUNSELORS, EDUCATIONAL NAVIGATORS, ADVISORS, CASE MANAGERS, NONPROFIT STAFF AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT TRAINERS TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE AND CONNECTIONS TO BETTER SUPPORT YOUTH AND ADULTS ON THEIR HIGHER EDUCATION JOURNEYS.

AN AVERAGE OF 34 PARTICIPANTS REPRESENTING EIGHT HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS, SIX CITY/STATE AGENCIES, TWENTY NONPROFITS, EIGHT SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND THREE BUSINESSES ATTENDED MONTHLY SESSIONS. EDUCATION-FRIENDLY WORKPLACE INITIATIVE THE EDUCATION-FRIENDLY WORKPLACE INITIATIVE ENCOURAGES LOCAL BUSINESSES TO EXPAND SUPPORT FOR EMPLOYEE EDUCATIONAL PURSUITS.

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
