FOR A STRONG FOUNDATION, CHILDREN NEED HIGH QUALITY EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT ARE SAFE AND PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEARNING: AND STRONG FAMILIES AND ENVIRONMENTS THAT SUPPORT HEALTHY OUTCOMES. HIGH QUALITY EARLY EDUCATION YIELDS HIGHER GRADUATION RATES, REDUCED CRIME, HIGHER EARNINGS, LESS RELIANCE ON SOCIAL SERVICES, AND BETTER JOBS.SMART START IS A NETWORK OF 75 NONPROFIT LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS THAT SERVE ALL 100 NORTH CAROLINA COUNTIES. THIS NETWORK IS LED BY THE NORTH CAROLINA PARTNERSHIP FOR CHILDREN (NCPC) THAT ENSURES FISCAL AND PROGRAMMATIC ACCOUNTABILITY, AND SUPPORTS THE STATEWIDE NETWORK TO CREATE BETTER OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. NCPC ESTABLISHES MEASURABLE STATEWIDE GOALS AND COMMUNITIES DETERMINE THE BEST APPROACH TO ACHIEVING THEM. NCPC ALSO ENSURES THAT SMART START LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS FULLY MEET ALL LEGISLATIVELY MANDATED REQUIREMENTS AND OPERATE TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF EFFECTIVENESS, ACCOUNTABILITY, EFFICIENCY AND INTEGRITY. SINCE 2000, THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 500 AUDITS, BY STATE AUDITORS AND /OR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS HIRED BY THE STATE, OR NCPC AND SMART START LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS. NCPC HAS HAD NO AUDIT FINDINGS FOR THE PAST DECADE. 2018 ANALYSES SHOW THAT THE POSITIVE IMPACTS OF NC PRE-K AND SMART START CONTINUE THROUGH GRADES 6, 7, AND 8. THERE IS NO FADEOUT. IN FACT, THE IMPACT GROWS. BY EIGHTH GRADE, FOR CHILDREN IN COUNTIES WITH AVERAGE FUNDING, NC PRE-K HAS REDUCED THE LIKELIHOOD OF PLACEMENTS INTO SPECIAL EDUCATION BY OVER ONE THIRD. WE FIND POSITIVE IMPACTS FOR EVERY GROUP OF CHILDREN WE STUDIED, INCLUDING ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED AS WELL AS ADVANTAGED CHILDREN; AFRICAN AMERICAN, HISPANIC, AND WHITE NON-HISPANIC CHILDREN; AND CHILDREN WHOSE MOTHERS ARE WELL-EDUCATED AS WELL AS THOSE WHOSE MOTHERS ARE LESS WELL-EDUCATED.ADDITIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDE:- IMPROVING QUALITY AND ACHIEVING HIGHER STARS ON NC'S RATED LICENSE THROUGH ONSITE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, TRAINING AND SUPPORT FOR CHILD CARE PROFESSIONALS TO OBTAIN HIGHER EDUCATION. TODAY 72% OF CHILDREN IN CHILD CARE ATTEND HIGH QUALITY PROGRAMS AS COMPARED TO 33% IN 2001.- IMPROVING EARLY LITERACY BY COLLABORATING WITH STATE LITERACY ORGANIZATIONS, LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS, PRIVATE CHILD CARE PROGRAMS, AND PEDIATRICIANS TO PROMOTE EARLY LITERACY ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH PROGRAMS LIKE RAISING A READER AND REACH OUT AND READ. FAMILIES PARTICIPATING IN REACH OUT AND READ ARE 97 PERCENT MORE LIKELY TO BE USING ONE OR MORE RECOMMENDED READING STRATEGIES WITH THEIR CHILDREN.- HELPING PRIVATE CHILD CARE PROGRAMS IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THEIR CLASSROOMS SO THEY MAY PARTICIPATE IN NC PRE-K AND PARTNER WITH NC PRE-K PROVIDERS TO HELP ELIGIBLE FOUR-YEAR-OLDS ACCESS THE PROGRAM. IN FISCAL YEAR 2018-2019, SMART START LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS ADMINISTERED NC PRE-K IN 55 COUNTIES. 5177347 5118852 DOLLY PARTON'S IMAGINATION LIBRARY PROMOTES EMERGENT LITERACY SKILLS THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DOLLYWOOD FOUNDATION.

FAMILIES ARE RECRUITED TO PARTICIPATE AND ONCE CHILDREN ARE ENROLLED, THEY RECEIVE AN AGE-APPROPRIATE BOOK IN THE MAIL EACH MONTH UP TO THEIR FIFTH BIRTHDAY. ALL LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS ARE RECEIVING FUNDING TO ADMINISTER THE PROGRAM IN 2018-2019 AND THE PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE IN EVERY NC ZIP CODE. 234,931 CHILDREN WERE SERVED STATEWIDE IN THE FISCAL YEAR. 1895772 417883 SHAPE NC PHASE III.

THESE FOUR ORGANIZATIONS, CALLED SUBGRANTEES, CURRENTLY MANAGE TEN ACTIVE CENTERS AND FIVE CONTROL CENTERS.

(NCPC) HAS A STAFF DEDICATED TO ON-SITE FINANCIAL AND PROGRAMMATIC MONITORING OF GRANTS. POLICIES, PROCEDURES, AND MONITORING PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN IN PLACE SINCE 2001 AND ARE PERIODICALLY REVIEWED AND REVISED AS NEEDED. OF THE GRANTEES, 75 (REPRESENTING NEARLY 100% OF OUR TOTAL GRANTS) ARE NONPROFITS THAT PROVIDE SERVICES TO NORTH CAROLINA'S YOUNG CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH NORTH CAROLINA'S EARLY CHILDHOOD INITIATIVE ("SMART START"). AS REQUIRED BY STATE LEGISLATION, THESE GRANTEES GENERALLY HAVE BIENNIAL AUDITS (FINANCIAL AND COMPLIANCE) BY AN INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM. ACCORDINGLY, NCPC TYPICALLY COORDINATES ITS MONITORING EFFORT WITH THAT OF THE AUDITORS AND, THEREFORE, ALSO MONITORS THESE GRANTEES. MONITORING IS RIGOROUS AND INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, A REVIEW OF BOARD OF DIRECTOR OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING, AND PROGRAMMATIC COMPLIANCE. A FORMAL CLOSE-OUT CONFERENCE IS HELD WITH BOARD MEMBERS, MANAGEMENT, AND OTHER STAFF. SUBSEQUENT TO THE CLOSE-OUT CONFERENCE, A FORMAL MONITORING REPORT WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT IS ISSUED TO THE GRANTEE'S BOARD CHAIR, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. DEPENDING UPON THE NATURE AND NUMBER OF ISSUES NOTED IN THE REPORT, A MONITORING VISIT MAY BE HELD IN SIX TO EIGHT MONTHS TO FOLLOW UP ON THE STATUS OF THE ISSUES NOTED IN THE REPORT. NCPC'S EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT IS PROVIDED WITH A SUMMARY OF GRANTEE MONITORING RESULTS.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C THE NORTH CAROLINA PARTNERSHIP FOR CHILDREN, INC. (NCPC) RECOGNIZES THAT EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE DEPENDS ON DELIBERATE, THOUGHTFUL, AND DISINTERESTED DECISION-MAKING BY ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND STAFF. MOREOVER, NCPC'S WORK DEPENDS ON THE CONTINUED TRUST AND CONFIDENCE IN ITS INTEGRITY, WHICH IS GROUNDED IN FAIR AND RESPONSIBLE DECISION-MAKING. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF NCPC BELIEVES IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF NCPC TO ESTABLISH A CLEAR AND CONCISE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS INTENDED TO PROMOTE THE AVOIDANCE OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY BY NCPC DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND STAFF. IT SETS THE RULES FOR CONDUCT, INCLUDING DISCLOSURE BY DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF PERSONAL OR FINANCIAL INTERESTS THAT MAY AFFECT THE BUSINESS OF NCPC. ANNUALLY EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD IS REQUIRED TO REVIEW A COPY OF THE POLICY AND TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE OR SHE HAS DONE SO. THE POLICY IS MONITORED AND ENFORCED THROUGH THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS: A. PRIOR TO ACTION ON A CONTRACT OR TRANSACTION, THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE CHAIR SHALL ASK THE GROUP TO IDENTIFY ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. A DIRECTOR WHO KNOWS HE OR SHE HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST SHALL DISCLOSE THE CONFLICT AND SUCH DISCLOSURE SHALL BE REFLECTED IN THE MINUTES OF THE MEETING. B. WHEN THERE IS A DOUBT AS TO WHETHER A CONFLICT EXISTS, THE MATTER SHALL BE RESOLVED BY A VOTE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS EXCLUDING THE PERSON(S) CONCERNING WHOSE SITUATION THE DOUBT HAS ARISEN. C. ALL APPOINTED BOARD MEMBERS SHALL AVOID CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY. SHOULD INSTANCES ARISE WHEN A CONFLICT MAY BE PERCEIVED, ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO MAY BENEFIT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM THE NCPC'S DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS SHALL ABSTAIN FROM PARTICIPATING IN ANY DECISION OR DELIBERATIONS BY NCPC REGARDING THE DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS. D. THE PERSON KNOWN TO HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST MAY NOT VOTE ON THE CONTRACT OR TRANSACTION AND MUST LEAVE THE ROOM DURING THE VOTE UNLESS LEAVING THE ROOM BRINGS ATTENDANCE BELOW THE LEVEL OF A QUORUM. THE OFFICIAL MINUTES SHALL REFLECT THAT THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST WAS DISCLOSED AND PERSON(S) WITH THE CONFLICT WERE NOT PRESENT DURING THE VOTE AND DID NOT VOTE ON THE MATTER.
