2012 FUNDRAISING REPORT

Fundraising Report.indd 1-2 5/17/13 10:42 AM

From the Executive DirectorKeeping the public in public schools. That has been the unspoken mantra of the Prichard Committee for three decades now. Our approach to collaborating with civic and business leaders to spur continuous improvement in Kentucky schools is always deliberative, sometimes painstaking and often bears significant fruit.

Breaking the top 10 on national rankings in Education Week’s Quality Counts survey of states’ education performance was a tangible victory of 2012, and it was also a collaborative one from which friends of the Prichard Committee can take a measure of personal pride. That highlight was just one of many others, including:

• The legislature’s growing and Governor Beshear’s continued support to increase funding for Pre-K, a nod to our pre-k advocacy work lead by the Business Leadership Council and the Strong Start Kentucky campaign;

• Another three classes of parents completing their Commonwealth Institute for Parent Leadership training-- recently renamed the Governor’s Commonwealth Institute for Parent Leadership to reflect institutionalized support--joining the ranks of more than 1,800 others we have trained to advocate for student achievement;

• Burgeoning national reach through the launch of our regular Education Week blog;

• Publication and wide distribution of our bi-annual Top 20 by 2020 Report, reminding the general public of exactly how far Kentucky has come and how far it has to go to ensure our students are ready for college and careers;

• Convening the Team on Teacher Effectiveness--a panel of parents, teachers, educators and legislators working with local and national experts to guide decision makers on ways to ensure effective teachers in every Kentucky classroom;

• Continued outreach to the general public to build support for Kentucky’s latest, more rigorous academic standards through our ReadyKentucky campaign;

• The inauguration of the Student Voice Team to support Kentucky youth to make the case for deeper integration of student perspectives into the policy work of the Prichard Committee.

It bears repeating that the Prichard Committee would not exist without the support of Kentucky citizens with the vision and passion to ensure the highest possible quality of education for our children. In this context, the hundreds of individuals, businesses and foundations listed in these pages attest to the organization’s--not to mention Kentucky’s-- extraordinary good fortune.
