My name is Matthew Hansen and I am the Director of School Operations at YES Prep Public Schools. I want to thank the Chairman and Members of the Committee for allowing us to share our experiences partnering with local independent school districts and the beneficial impact these partnerships are having on our students. We launched our first school twenty years ago in 1998 and now operate 17 open enrollment middle and high schools in underserved communities throughout Houston, Texas. YES Prep is home to over 12,000 students. Our student population is 96% black or Latino, with 87% of students being economically disadvantaged. At the same time, more than 71% of our alumni are enrolled in, or have graduated, from college. This is four times the national rate for low-income children of color. We operate a total of four campuses within Aldine ISD and Spring Branch ISD - a middle school and a high school at each district. These unique settings offer students the best of a traditional school and the best of a charter school experiences. WHY PARTNER? YES Prep envisions that every child in Houston will have equitable access to a public school that delivers an excellent, college-ready education. To fulfill our vision and meet the needs of the over 18,000 families on waitlists for high quality charter school seats in Houston, we must form partnerships with neighboring districts in order to share and replicate best practices and thereby extend our impact throughout the Houston area.

    The National School Safety Center's Report on School Associated Violent Deaths Internet: www.schoolsafety.us E-mail: [email protected] In-House Report of the National School Safety Center 141 Duesenberg Drive, Suite 11 • Westlake Village, CA 91362 • Ph: 805/373-9977 • Fax: 805/373-9277 Dr. Ronald D. Stephens, Executive Director DEFINITION: A school-associated violent death is any homicide, suicide, or weapons-related violent death in the United States in which the fatal injury occurred: 1) on the property of a functioning public, private or parochial elementary or secondary school, Kindergarten through grade 12, (including alternative schools); 2) on the way to or from regular sessions at such a school; 3) while person was attending or was on the way to or from an official school-sponsored event; 4) as an obvious direct result of school incident/s, function/s or activities, whether on or off school bus/vehicle or school property. * Note: Not a scientific survey. Since information is taken from newspaper clipping services, it is possible that not all such clippings have reached the NSSC. SCOPE: Newspaper accounts, on which NSSC bases this report, frequently do not list names and ages of those who are charged with the deaths of others. Such omissions were in some cases because the person charged was a minor. In some instances, persons were killed in drive-by shootings, gang encounters or during melees in which the killer was not identified, and the killers were either never apprehended or were caught days or months after the crime was first reported.
