Program Evaluation 2012-2013 Market A Message from the President Dear Stakeholders and Friends: I am pleased to present our Partnership 4 Kids 2012-2013 Program Evaluation. This evaluation represents the final assessment of our original K-12 Partnership 4 Kids (P4K) program. Beginning with the 2013-2014 school year, P4K has redesigned its program to focus efforts on students in the critical K-9 grades. This new program includes formal partnerships with Avenue Scholars, College Possible and TeamMates, who will serve P4K students post ninth grade. With this newly designed program, our 2013-2014 program evaluation will include new measurements deemed critical based on findings in this document. Included in these new measures will is the SEI (Student Engagement Instrument) administered by the OPS Research Department, measuring cognitive and affective areas of engagement as indicators of school success. P4K has implemented the “Check and Connect” program, a research-based intervention for students, who score as “disengaged” on the SEI. Highlights from this 2012-2013 evaluation include: Seven (7) P4K elementary schools exceeded the OPS average growth in reading and/or math on 2013 NeSA test scores. (P4K reading and math goals are written toward learning gaps identified through the use of the OPS Acuity Predictive Test in grades 3 through 6.) 63% of P4K middle school students met or exceeded state standards on the 2013 NeSA reading test. This was above their school average in 5 of 6 middle schools served by P4K. 56% of P4K middle school students met or exceeded state standards on the 2013 NeSA math test. This was above their school average in 4 of 6 middle schools served by P4K. 100% of P4K seniors graduated from high school for the second year in a row. P4K values objective and valid interpretations of our program data. A 2012 third party evaluation conducted by Dr. Deepak Khazanchi, Associate Dean at the University of Nebraska Peter Kiewit Institute, clearly indicated that our program has had a positive academic impact on the students served. A copy of these findings is included in this document. If you should have any questions or thoughts on the data released in this document, please feel free to contact me at 402-490-7506 or [email protected]. Thank you for your continued support of Partnership 4 Kids and the students we serve. By supporting our efforts, you are making an investment in the future of Omaha! Sincerely, Debbie J.

P4K is the result of a merger between two youth-serving organizations, Winners Circle and All Our Kids, which joined forces in 2007 to help more underserved students from kindergarten through high school stay in school and graduate. During the 2012-2013 school year, P4K served more than 4,700 at-risk youth from the Omaha Public School District, providing services to twelve elementary schools, six middle schools and four high schools. goal setting program Previously known as Winners Circle, P4K’s Goal Setting Program was developed in 1996 with an “Adopt-A-School” relationship between Tires, Inc. owners, Jerry and Leslie Hoberman, and the principal of Omaha Public Schools’ Belvedere Academy. During the 2012-2013 school year, this Goal Setting Program served more than 4,300 Omaha Public Schools students, grades kindergarten through six. The program is based on three key elements which are goal setting, recognition and incentives. Volunteer Goal Buddies support classroom students in reaching their academic and life skill goals twice per academic quarter. group mentoring program The Group Mentoring Program, formerly known as All Our Kids, began in the fall of 1989, evolving from an Adopt-A-School partnership between Omaha Public Schools and America First Companies, now known as the Burlington Capital Group. Since its inception, this program has assisted hundreds of students in the Omaha area. The program is dedicated to helping the young people in our community who can benefit from an ongoing, caring relationship with a mentor. Volunteer Group Mentors empower and support middle and high school students by attending after-school meetings twice per month to discuss life skills, college access, and career exploration. Students and mentors also attend community outings that focus on culture, education and career opportunities. P4K’s Group Mentoring Program is affiliated with the Midlands Mentoring Partnership & the National Mentoring Partnership. 4 Market Executive Summary Omaha Public Schools Partnership Schools Served 22 Students Served 4,751 Parents/Guardians attending P4K Events 3,086 Omaha Community Partnerships Number of Community Volunteers 471 Partnerships Number of Hours Volunteered 6,438 Number of Corporations Providing Three or More Volunteers 21 Volunteer Retention Rate 57% Program Outcomes Academic Achievement Reading Goal Achievement 86% Math Goal Achievement 87% Positive Life Skills and Motivation Life Skills Goal Achievement 80% Percentage of Elementary Students Possessing Skills to Set & Achieve Goals 73% Goal Setting Goal Elementary School Elementary Sense of Self Worth 73/100 Student Emotional Engagement in the Mentor/Mentee Relationship (100 high) Academic Achievement Middle School Average GPA 2.39 Positive Life Skills and Motivation Middle School Student Motivation to Graduate 95% Middle School Student Motivation to Attend School Regularly 93% Number of Middle School Students Averaging Two or Fewer Absences Per Quarter 120/170 Middle School Middle Sense of Self Worth Group Mentoring Student Emotional Engagement in the Mentor/Mentee Relationship 2.7 of 4 (4 high) Academic Achievement High School Average GPA 2.59 2012-2013 P4K Graduation Rate 100% Positive Life Skills and Motivation High School Student Motivation to Graduate 94% High School Student Motivation to Attend School Regularly 90% Number of High School Students Averaging Two or Fewer Absences Per Quarter 154/240 High School High Sense of Self Worth Group Mentoring Mentoring Group Student Emotional Engagement in the Mentor/Mentee Relationship 2.2 of 4 (4 high) 100% of P4K Mentoring Students Graduated from High School in 2013. 92% of Graduates Planned to Enroll in a Post-Secondary Educational Institution.(May 2013) 39% of these Post-Secondary Students will be Funded through P4K.

To begin the process of showing trends, multi-year data is shared where available. However, some indicators were measured beginning with the 2012-2013 school year. surveys The survey for elementary students was administered to all 4th, 5th and 6th grade students by the Omaha Public Schools (OPS) during the school day. A total of 1,096 fourth through sixth grade students completed the 2012-2013 survey, representing a 66% response rate. Elementary principals were surveyed for the first time during the spring of 2013. This survey was administered electronically via SurveyMonkey. Eight of 12 principals responded for a 67% response rate. The teacher survey was administered electronically via SurveyMonkey to all participating teachers. A total of 141 teachers completed the survey, representing a 57% response rate. The Group Mentoring survey for both middle & high school students was administered via SurveyMonkey during an after-school mentoring session. One hundred eleven middle school students and 140 high school students completed the survey, representing a 61% response rate. The “Curriculum Learned” indicator is measured by averaging all curriculum related questions by grade. Elementary parents/guardians completed surveys at the 3rd quarter Winners Circle Celebration, with 385 parents/guardians responding. Parents/guardians of middle & high school students were mailed a survey with a pre-stamped return envelope. A total of 34 middle school parents/guardians and 26 high school parents/guardians completed and returned the survey, representing a 15% response rate. The volunteer survey was administered electronically via SurveyMonkey to all volunteers.

    Appendix B – Transportation Profile

    APPENDIX B TRANSPORTATION PROFILE Transportation Inventory Roadways in the MAPA Region The network of streets, highways, and bridges represents the primary form of transportation in the MAPA TMA. From residential streets to interstate freeways, it is utilized daily by the vast majority of residents in the metro area to get from point A to point B. In recent decades, hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent to construct and maintain the system that exists today. Ensuring that the roadway system continues to be safe and provides a high-degree mobility for residents and businesses is critical to the region’s future. The MAPA LRTP provides the metro area with a roadmap for anticipated transportation improvements. While the 30-year planning timeframe inherently carries with it a high level of uncertainty, it is nonetheless important to periodically assess the region’s transportation system and evaluate long range plans and goals. Traffic levels have grown rapidly in recent decades in the MAPA region; however, traffic growth slowed for several years following the economic recession of 2008. Since that time traffic growth has slowly begun to increase as population and employment continue to increase. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing had significant impacts in reducing traffic on the region’s roadways for weeks. However, at this time it is unclear whether there will be long-term impacts of the precautions being taken to slow the spread of the virus as communities plan for reopening businesses, schools and other venues. In many communities throughout the region, the roadway system in the metro area has not kept pace with new, suburban growth.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

    2016 GIVING REPORT As We Reflect on the Success of 2016 and Look Ahead, We Are Grateful for the Collective Efforts of All Who Helped Cultivate Generosity This Year

    2016 GIVING REPORT As we reflect on the success of 2016 and look ahead, we are grateful for the collective efforts of all who helped cultivate generosity this year. This year our donors gave 11,000 grants—a record!—to 2,349 nonprofits. And we opened 154 new donor accounts, which helps further expand our reach. With more than $1 billion in assets, we are now the 15th largest community foundation in the country, according to CF Insights. While these numbers are impressive, our biggest successes are reflected in the relationships we continue to build across our community. In 2016, we worked to deepen our impact throughout the region. We launched The Landscape, a community indicator project that uses publicly available data to gage how the Omaha metro is faring in six areas community life. This project reaffirms our commitment to meeting the community’s greatest needs, while expanding the breadth and depth of knowledge we offer. The Landscape is a space where each of us can dig deeper and learn about this community beyond our own unique experience; our hope is that this project helps inform our own work, and the efforts of our many partners and collaborators across the Omaha-Council Bluffs region. Each and every day these partners—our board, staff, the area’s nonprofit sector, and our family of donors—are driven to make this community a better place for all. Together we seek to inspire philanthropy that’s both big and small—whether it’s a new $10 donation given during Omaha Gives!, a leader influenced through our Nonprofit Capacity Building Program, or a donor that witnesses the tangible impact of their substantial gift.

    Transcript Prepared By the Clerk of the Legislature Transcriber's Office Judiciary Committee September 12, 2008 [LR390] SENATOR ASHFORD: I'd like to welcome everyone this morning and this is obviously a wonderful turnout. Can everybody hear me? I don't want to shout. I could shout, I suppose, but that would be...is this working? [LR390] ____________: Yes. [LR390] SENATOR ASHFORD: It is working. All right. This is a fabulous turnout, very difficult topic. But I can assure you that the Judiciary Committee and the Legislature is ready to take a hard look at the issue of youth violence throughout the state, particularly some of the violence we've experienced in our city in the last several years. And this is where we'll start at that process. My name is Brad Ashford. I'm Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Before we get to Mayor Fahey, and thank you, Mayor, for coming today, I'd like to thank the team from CeaseFire-Chicago, and they will be speaking in a few minutes about their program which has a national reputation and I think it's worthy of taking a look at. I'd like to introduce my colleagues, first of all, and go down the line with them: Senator Dwite Pedersen from Elkhorn; and Senator Ernie Chambers from Omaha. This may be...well, it won't be the last hearing, Senator Chambers, certainly, but it's one of them. (Laugh) Yes. The Vice Chair of the Committee, Senator Steve Lathrop from Millard and Ralston and other areas and welcome, Senator Lathrop.
