During the year, the Alliance disbursed over $420,000 for instructional support, scholarships, awards, materials, trainings, extracurricular programs, and other school-related activities through our fiscal sponsorship programs. 4641685 3357820 451634 Educational Investments: The Alliance brings together the philanthropic community and Seattle Public School (SPS) leadership to define and support strategic investments in SPS with a focus on increasing equity. In 2020, the Alliance's strategic work included:The Seattle Teacher Residency (STR): We continue to successfully recruit, train, and support a diverse pipeline of high-quality teachers trained specifically to teach in Seattle's highest need schools. STR's mission is to accelerate student achievement through the preparation, support, and retention of exceptional teachers who reflect the rich diversity in Seattle Public Schools. We seek to reduce the achievement gap for students from historically underperforming schools and increase opportunities for them to succeed in school, career, and life. Some highlights of our successes in 2020 include:- Teachers Trained: In 2020, there were 130 STR-trained teachers in more than 25 high-need public schools in Seattle. An additional 28 Cohort 8 residents started the program in 2020 which included 14-months of graduate-level coursework and in-classroom apprenticeships. - Students Served: More than 2000 students in over 25 Title I schools benefitted from teachers trained with critical social-emotional and cultural competencies through the STR program in 2020. - Diversity: 55% of current STR residents are teachers of color compared to 20% of other Seattle Public School teachers in a district where 54% of students are students of color.The Right Now Needs Fund: This program is designed to address the most basic needs of Seattle Public School students, to ensure that students can come to school and focus on learning. The Alliance disburses funds to all the 104 Seattle Public Schools, in amounts reflective of the percentage of students in each school receiving free and reduced lunch. Funds can be requested by any school community member and are approved by the school principal. The funds can be spent on addressing the basic needs of students, such as clothing, adequate food, shelter, and necessary school supplies. In 2020 over $875,000 was disbursed to meet the basic needs of students. Other Investments: The Alliance raises dollars to support initiatives that advance racial equity and educational excellence in Seattle Public Schools. In 2020, the Alliance also provided more than $750,000 in funding to support Seattle Public School's Office of African American Male Achievement. The Alliance's Education Equity fund also provided over $315,000 to address remote learning needs for SPS students during the pandemic. 5064447 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 53 0 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 20 20 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 WA X X Lisa Chick 2063430449 509 Olive Way No 500 Seattle WA 981011726 Chick Lisa President & CEO 40.00 X 213925 0 26276 Christian Roxanne Chief Advancment Officer 40.00 X 128750 0 17088 Ward Amy CFO 40.00 X 124978 0 17948 Cobell Petaki Director, RNNF 40.00 X 123100 0 19176 Bier Marisa Director, STR 40.00 X 123237 0 18008 Williams MPA Sherry Elane Board Chair 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Powell Darrell Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Paddock Matthew Secretary thru 2/6 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Yates Sarah B Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Allen Jaime Drozd Director 0.50 X 0 0 0 Bridge Jonathan J Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Broom Jane Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Chapman Fay Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cohen Erle Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dailey Mathew Director 0.50 X 0 0 0 Eng Alicia Director from 2/6 0.50 X 0 0 0 Fosado Grace Director 0.50 X 0 0 0 Foster Andrea Director 0.50 X 0 0 0 Frank Lynnette Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Hoff Brad Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lange Sheila Edwards Director 0.50 X 0 0 0 Leader Bruce Director 0.50 X 0 0 0 Merriweather Michelle Director 0.50 X 0 0 0 Miles Nathaniel Nate Director 0.50 X 0 0 0 Stephens Rebecca Director from 2/6 0.50 X 0 0 0 Tuan Mia Director 0.50 X 0 0 0 Zapolsky David Director 0.50 X 0 0 0 713990 0 98496 5 0 1 0 0 355041 271431 5292927 220023 5919399 Residency Program Svcs 611710 460979 460979 460979 156580 156580 829461 816174 13287 13287 13287 19900 271431 84647 -64747 -64747 Stipend Repayment 611710 2853 2853 Cost Recovery Fee 900099 356 356 3209 6488707 460979 0 108329 2547117 2547117 1011984 1011984 383127 219756 85400 77971 914498 521920 203472 189106 56538 33672 12779 10087 137177 81697 31005 24475 99965 57176 21551 21238 37250 37250 64102 64102 343441 267940 74013 1488 1183 655 274 254 22825 12628 1463 8734 53974 30151 12388 11435 126488 65955 31642 28891 6577 6476 333 -232 2220 2094 108 18 114 114 16377 10218 1707 4452 15622 8082 3383 4157 Appreciation 76339 71984 3717 638 Student Supplies 55678 55678 Dues & Licenses 32773 20542 7988 4243 Business and Excise Tax 32500 16832 7044 8624 59282 21776 1706 35800 6097151 5064447 601325 431379 1947472 3333987 3695723 2653318 72014 284606 28 55 49603 33272 182070 163478 31301 18592 7434924 9286127 18949 18949 13250014 15628906 234353 281166 226615 1215173 36924 21270 348842 464283 2679 0 849413 1981892 X 778878 1163686 11621723 12483328 12400601 13647014 13250014 15628906 391556 854857 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2992355 2578873 5737510 4303996 5919399 21532133 2992355 2578873 5737510 4303996 5919399 21532133 8242229 13289904 177519 167318 215815 261082 156580 978314 8245 11690 8850 3209 31994 22542441 1424664 0.58960 0.63100 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: Stipend Repayment - 2017 Amount: $ 8,245. 2018 Amount: $ 11,690. 2019 Amount: $ 8,850. 2020 Amount: $ 2,853.
