DescriptionSchools and Instruction - The Fund partnered with public schools in Chicago to prove that much better academic outcomes can be achieved through innovative use of talent, technology, and time. In 2012, this included work to:- Bring New Classrooms, an innovative middle school mathematics model, to two traditional public schools in Chicago. Early results suggest positive impact on academic performance for more than 600 students.-Engage Parthenon Group (a consulting firm) to establish an analytic infrastructure to assess relative cost and impact of various school types and instructional programs within Chicago. Results include growth of successful International Baccalaureate (IB), Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) models as well as continued growth of high-performing charter schools City-wide. -It also included strategic time investments to help a set of schools extend their school day in advance of universal Full School Day adoption.

DescriptionTalent and Leadership - The Fund supported investments in high-quality principals and teachers, growing the number of highly-effective educator teams in Chicago, and ensuring they are in the schools where they are needed the most. In 2012, this included work to:-Advocate for high standards and aligned accountability systems, supporting CPS in the creation and implementation of rigorous and effective school, principal, and teacher evaluation systems. This included helping to launch REACH, the new CPS teacher evaluation system, working with the district to modify the existing principal evaluation system, and assisting in the design of a new school accountability framework. The evaluation systems were rolled out District-wide in 2012, and the accountability framework will be adopted in 2013.-Champion great teachers and principals as critical to school success, supporting recruitment, training, retention, and recognition efforts for great teachers and principals. This included ensuring that the Chicago Executive Leadership Academy, a pioneering effort to create in Chicago the nation's first district-based academy for school chiefs, was adopted as a priority for CPS. This program now allows for the recruitment, development and mentoring of new chiefs, deputy chiefs, and principals within Chicago Public Schools. -Serve as a fiscal agent in the administration of Principal Bonuses to more than 80 principals in traditional and charter public schools.Description

Part IV, Line 2b:The Fund is acting as a fiscal agent for Chicago Public Schools (CPS) in connection with the CPS principal bonus plan which began in 2012. Under this agreement, The Fund has agreed to accept payment of pledges from various donors secured by CPS, and to process payments to school principals, as directed by CPS, for each of the four calendar years from 2012 through 2015. During 2012, $1,114,000 in pledge payments was collected and recorded to the statement of financial position as a liability. A total of $570,000 was disbursed during 2012 for principal bonus payments, reducing the recorded liability and leaving a remaining balance of $544,000 to be disbursed under this agreement in future years.
Part X, Line 2:The Fund is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and similar statutes of Illinois law. In addition, The Fund qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(b)(1)(A) and has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under Section 509(a)(2). The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addressed the determination of whether tax benefits claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, The Fund may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of The Fund and the various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statement from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Fund does not believe that there are any unrecognized tax benefits or tax liabilities that should be recorded for the reporting periods presented in these financial statements. The Fund is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2009.Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:
