29. Collaboration In Louisville, collaboration is the key. The first thought is always to come together to determine how we can develop and establish partnerships to build assets for youth.

30. Funding Organizations Alliance for Youth (state funds) Office of Youth Development (local) Metro United Way (non-profit) Human Services Department (local) Federal Funding Local Foundations (private)

31. Goal/Purpose Build capacity for community-based and faith-based organizations to meet the challenging needs of local young people and create a mechanism to allow these organizations to share information with schools.

32. Capacity Building Training –Youth Service Worker Training –Youth Agency Roundtable Discussion –Advancing Youth Development (AED) –Afternoon of Youth Development –Outcomes Measurement (mandatory) –Organizational Sustainability –KidTrax (implementation & training)

33. KidTrax System Local government has mandated (and funded) many youth organizations to utilize KidTrax as a method of sharing information with the JCPS district to assist these agencies to measure outcomes of their programs.

34. Community-wide Initiative KidTrax is also utilized to assist our community to measure the progress of our community-wide Every 1 Reads Initiative, which has a goal of ensuring that every child within the JCPS district is reading on grade level by the year 2008.

35. Community Based Organizations Impact on Student Achievement The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Clubs of Louisville

36. Pre KIDTRAX / JCPS School Connectivity Data Collection on club members, and multiple sites. Paper reports, Excel Sheets resulting in time consuming process, self reports, subject to human error. Rely on parent providing membership info, tend to not provide family income, legal guardianship, and number in household. Student performance indicators Report card collection, meetings with teachers, attendance clerks, relying on other professionals, excel sheets. Again time consuming, subject to human error and difficulty in understanding individual club member needs. Historical data difficult to validate Observations and self reports of risk taking behaviors, poor school attendance, academic performance, graduations, school enrollment

37. Evidence Increase attendance in school Reduction in Suspension behaviors Improved Standardized Test Scores Improved PAS Scores Reduction in Tardy Behaviors Increase in family participation in clubs

38. Today KIDTRAX / JCPS School Connectivity Data Collection Multiple sites connected, data integrity, tracking membership and attendance of club members electronically. Connectivity View student performance indicators including suspensions, behavioral referral data, unexcused absences, tardy, percent attendance, standardized test scores. Accurate family information including Free & Reduced Lunch status, Guardianship, number in household, and who child lives with, emergency contacts.
