Return Reference	Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2	IN 2023, THE FUND LAUNCHED TWO NEW PILOT PROGRAMS. ONE, THE MALOTT EDUCATOR FELLOWSHIP, IS A TWO-YEAR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. THE FELLOWSHIP PROVIDES A LEARNING COMMUNITY AND TARGETED COACHING TO SUPPORT THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF STRONG LEADERS IN SCHOOL COMMUNITIES EXPERIENCING CHALLENGES LIKE HIGH ABSENTEEISM, STUDENT MOBILITY, AND HOUSING INSECURITY. THE OTHER, OUR AFFINITY GROUPS PROGRAM, PROVIDES BLACK AND LATINO/A/X ASPIRING LEADERS WITH A ROBUST PROFESSIONAL NETWORK, ONE-ON-ONE COACHING OPPORTUNITIES, AND TARGETED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO ACCELERATE THEIR PATHS TO SCHOOL LEADER ROLES. THESE PROGRAMS SUPPORT OUR STRATEGIC GOALS OF INCREASING PRINCIPAL SATISFACTION AND RETENTION AND STRENGTHENING AND DIVERSIFYING THE SCHOOL LEADER PIPELINE IN CHICAGO.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 3	A VITAL PART OF THE FUND'S MODEL IS OUR WORK TO ENSURE THAT PUBLIC OR PRIVATE INVESTMENT CAN SUSTAIN SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS. TWO PROGRAMS WERE TRANSITIONED FROM THE FUND TO CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS (CPS) IN 2023. THEY WERE: 1) THE CAHN FELLOWS PROGRAM. WE SUPPORTED THE CAHN FELLOWS PROGRAM BEGINNING IN 2016. WE ENABLED THE PROGRAM'S EXPANSION TO CHICAGO AND HELPED DEMONSTRATE ITS SUCCESS. CPS RECOGNIZED ITS POPULARITY WITH PARTICIPANTS AND WAS INTERESTED IN ASSUMING THE COST OF CONTINUING IT. AS SUCH, THE FINAL COHORT OF FUND-SUPPORTED CAHN FELLOWS WAS IN 2022-23. 2) THE CHICAGO PRINCIPAL FELLOWSHIP. STARTING IN 2014, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CPS AND THE KELLOGG SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT AT NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, WE SUPPORTED THE CHICAGO PRINCIPAL FELLOWSHIP, AN EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP SUPPORT FOR CHICAGO'S TOP PRINCIPALS. THE FINAL COHORT OF FELLOWS COMPLETED ITS WORK IN 2022, AND FOR THE 2022-23 SCHOOL YEAR, WE SUPPORTED FELLOWSHIP ALUMS THROUGH A CULMINATING FELLOWSHIP BRIDGE YEAR. WE FINISHED THE BRIDGE YEAR IN 2023, AND CPS ASSUMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROGRAM IN 2023-24. ANOTHER CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THE FUND'S MODEL IS OUR ABILITY TO REALLOCATE RESOURCES FROM ONE PROGRAM TO ANOTHER IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR BOARD. MOST FREQUENTLY, THIS IS DONE WHEN A PILOT EFFORT DESIGNED TO SUPPORT LEADERSHIP WILL BE MORE SUCCESSFUL IF WE INTEGRATE IT INTO A BROADER SET OF PROGRAMMATIC SUPPORT. IN 2022-23, WE PHASED OUT OUR EXECUTIVE PRINCIPAL AND MODERN CLASSROOMS INVESTMENTS TO INVEST MORE IN OUR BROADER PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES (PLC) PROGRAMS. THE PLC WORK IS DESCRIBED AT PART III, LINE 4A.

POTENTIAL CONFLICTS NOTED IN THE RESPONSES ARE PASSED ALONG TO THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (CEO) FOR REVIEW AND, WHEN NECESSARY, REFERRED TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR CONSIDERATION. IN ADDITION TO THE REQUIRED ANNUAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST QUESTIONNAIRE, THE FUND'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS' POLICY COVERING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST PROVIDES THAT DIRECTORS AND STAFF HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO IMMEDIATELY DISCLOSE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND REFRAIN FROM INFLUENCING OTHER DIRECTORS OR STAFF ON THOSE MATTERS. IF A POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL CONFLICT ARISES, DIRECTORS ALSO HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO RECUSE THEMSELVES AT AN APPROPRIATE TIME. DIRECTORS, STAFF, AND THEIR IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS CANNOT REALIZE ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT PERSONAL FINANCIAL BENEFIT FROM A FUND INVESTMENT.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15	Q15A: THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING AND APPROVING THE COMPENSATION PACKAGE FOR THE PRESIDENT AND CEO. THE DETERMINATION OF THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF COMPENSATION INCLUDED A REVIEW OF COMPENSATION LEVELS FOR THE EQUIVALENT POSITIONS AT COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS.

PLCS ALLOWED SCHOOL LEADERS TO PARTICIPATE IN YEARLONG PEER-LEARNING GROUPS LED BY THE CITY'S TOP PRINCIPALS. PARTICIPANTS ENGAGED IN REFLECTIVE JOURNEYS DESIGNED TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND THEIR LEADERSHIP MORE DEEPLY, LEARN NEW SKILLS, ENCOURAGE INNOVATIVE PRACTICES IN THEIR BUILDINGS, AND ADVANCE POSITIVE SCHOOL CULTURE.

PARTICIPANTS FROM 25 SCHOOLS DESIGNED AND TESTED INITIATIVES TO IMPROVE TEACHING, LEARNING, AND SCHOOL CLIMATE.

	SYSTEMS, DATA, AND POLICIES (2023) THE FUND HAS INVESTED IN EDUCATOR TALENT IN CHICAGO FOR ALMOST 25 YEARS. IN THE LAST DECADE, WE NARROWED OUR FOCUS TO SCHOOL LEADERS. WE BELIEVE CHICAGO'S PRINCIPALS SHOULDER TREMENDOUS RESPONSIBILITIES, AND THEY REQUIRE THE AUTONOMY TO ACT ON THE NEEDS OF THEIR COMMUNITIES. AS SUCH, THE FUND IS DEDICATED TO BUILDING A CULTURE OF STRONG, LOCAL LEADERSHIP IN CHICAGO. WE VALUE OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR SYSTEM-LEVEL WORK. IN 2023, WE WORKED MOST CLOSELY WITH CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS (CPS). OUR ANNUAL PRINCIPAL AND ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL ENGAGEMENT SURVEYS HELPED INFORM DISTRICT STRATEGY AND INFLUENCED MODIFICATIONS TO OUR PROGRAMS TO BETTER SERVE LEADERS. WE ALSO SUPPORTED CPS IN SURVEYING LOCAL SCHOOL COUNCIL (LSC) MEMBERS. WE LAUNCHED THIS FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND SURVEY IN OCTOBER 2023 TO LEARN MORE ABOUT LSC MEMBER SATISFACTION AND NEEDS FOR SUPPORT. WE ALSO PUBLISHED FOUR REPORTS IN 2023, INCLUDING "THE ILLINOIS PRINCIPAL: THEIR WORK, THEIR CHALLENGES, THEIR IMPACT." WE WROTE THIS REPORT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ILLINOIS PRINCIPALS ASSOCIATION, A STATEWIDE MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATION AIMING TO DEVELOP, SUPPORT, AND ADVOCATE FOR INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL LEADERS. THE REPORT INCLUDED DATA ON ILLINOIS PRINCIPALS, OFFERING INSIGHT INTO THEIR ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. IT ALSO HIGHLIGHTED THE STORIES OF LEADERS STATEWIDE TO DEMONSTRATE THE URGENT NEED FOR MORE LOCAL-LEVEL DECISION-MAKING IN CHICAGO AND BEYOND.

IT INCLUDED A CONVERSATION ON THE GROWTH OF THE CHICAGO EDUCATION LANDSCAPE OVER THE PAST TWO DECADES AND THE ROLE OF SCHOOL LEADERSHIP AS DESCRIBED IN THE BOOK "HOW A CITY LEARNED TO IMPROVE ITS SCHOOLS."

WE ALSO EXECUTED A SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN AND PARTNERED WITH THE CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY TO FEATURE EXTRAORDINARY SCHOOL LEADERS IN ADS ON BUSES AND TRAINS IN THE CITY. IN LATE 2023, WE WELCOMED A NEW EDUCATOR ADVISORY COMMITTEE, WHOSE MEMBERS CONSULTED ON OUR WORK. COMPOSED OF 36 PRINCIPALS AND ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS, THE COMMITTEE AIMS TO SHAPE THE FUND'S POLICY AGENDA, OFFER RECOMMENDATIONS ON PROGRAMMING, AND FACILITATE CONNECTIONS WITH OTHER LEADERS ACROSS THE CITY.
