10 The Cost of Doing Nothing Not Making Good on The Promise The Kalamazoo Promise is a Unique and Important Asset to Promote Shared Prosperity It Has Proven to Make a Difference for Many by Making College Affordable BUT Will Our Children Be Prepared to Take Advantage of The Promise If They and Their Families Are Struggling with the Effects of Poverty?

11 Child Development and Schooling Poverty, Especially in Early Childhood, Profoundly Affects a Child s Chances for Healthy Growth, Development and Learning Studies Consistently Show that Family and Neighborhood Poverty Have a Far Greater Impact on Learning than How Good Teachers and School Administrators Are Good Schools Can and Do Make a Difference, and We Must Support Our Schools in Every Way We Can But It Take a Community To Raise a Child Schools Can t Do It Alone

12 Top to Bottom Ranking of Kalamazoo County Public Schools by Percentage of Economically Disadvantaged Students, 2013 Percentile Ranking among All Michigan Schools * In 21 of 65 County Public Schools, at least two-thirds (66%) of students are economically disadvantaged. * 17 of these 21 schools are KPS schools; the remaining 4 are in Comstock. * All 21 schools are below the 30 th percentile in the Michigan State Dept. of Education s Top-to Bottom Ranking; 18 were below the 20 th percentile, and; 12 were at or below the 10 th percentile. In Percent The percentage of economically disadvantaged students in a school accounts for 76 percent of the variation among the county s 64 public schools in the Michigan Department of Education s 2013 Top-to-Bottom Ranking of public schools. R 2 =.760

13 High Poverty Neighborhoods Concentrated Poverty (not just individual and family poverty): Is hazardous to our health Undermines education outcomes Increases the risk of involvement in criminal justice system 12 of 25 Kalamazoo Census Tracts Have Concentrated Poverty (At Least 30 Percent of Residents in Poverty)

20 More Broadly Shared Prosperity Our Challenge and Our Opportunity

21 KUSP Core Objectives Involve low income residents as full participants in the planning and evaluation process Involve Community-based Organizations to move beyond disjointed delivery of categorical services to better meet people s needs! Engage private sector employers as full partners in job creation and job training, because the goal of more broadly shared prosperity makes sense for business, besides being the right thing to do

22 Core Objectives (continued) Strategically Focus the Considerable Resources of Our Community on the Goal of Shared Prosperity Make Sure that Low Income Residents Are at the Table and an Integral Part of the Process Plan and Structure Must Be Appropriate to Kalamazoo s Decentralized Network of Community Assets Strategic Action Plan Must Make a Difference in People s Lives!

23 KUSP Core Strategies Community indicator system to establish baseline information and measure progress toward goals, similar to The Coordinating Council of Calhoun County. Data should be both county-wide and specific to the city of Kalamazoo, where poverty is most concentrated Draw on the collective wisdom of the Kalamazoo community, including its elected and appointed public officials, nonprofit leaders and grassroots citizens KUSP strategies also should be informed by research on best practices from around the country

24 Strategic Doing Provides the Methodology (doing agenda) for the Proposed Organizational Structure of Kalamazoo United for Shared Prosperity Strategic Doing Combines Effective and Visionary Civic Leadership with an Inclusive Civic Engagement Process
