To drive change in this area, C@R staff meets regularly with public officials, leaders in the academic community, and education agencies to discuss reform strategies. C@R educates the community on the need to improve the public education system through prominent media attention (press conferences, news stories, editorials, and articles), conducting and presenting research, and hosting an annual Education Reform Conference. C@R also draws public attention to outstanding public schools and raises awareness around the need for education reform through its annual Texas Public Schools Rankings. 335703 C@R established the Center to End the Trafficking and Exploitation of Children (CETEC) in 2007 through its Public Policy & Law Center to launch a broad educational and outreach campaign to combat human trafficking. Because C@R has been a leader in making significant progress in the fight against human trafficking in Texas, it plans to replicate its success on a national level. To attain this goal, C@R will grow CETEC into a national center with a focus on enacting and changing state and local legislation through coordinating a national conference, establishing a human trafficking summer institute for law students, and increasing its partnerships. 140440 Through its unique Food in Schools Initiative, C@R continues to raise awareness and advocate for the implementation of Universal Free School Breakfast (UFSB) in schools with high poverty levels. C@Rs research shows that children who eat breakfast regularly are significantly less likely to be overweight, since breakfast can help jump-start their metabolism, improve their nutritional well-being, and decrease overeating later in the day. After playing an instrumental role during the 2013 legislative session in the passage of SB 376, which expands UFSB in Texas poorest schools, C@R will look at the implementation of that law to ensure that students in these low-income schools receive a nutritious breakfast. 270650 1707255 true true false true false false false false false true true false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 15 0 true 29 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 36 35 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X X Dr Robert Sanborn 7138697740 2900 Weslayan Suite 400 Houston TX 77027 Robert Sanborn President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 197834 0 5834 Amanda Kimball Dir. of Pub Policy 40.00 0.00 137948 0 6612 Paul Dewey Chief Devel.
