RECOMMENDATION
Staff Recommends That The Joint City Council OUSD Education Partnership Committee Receive An Informational Report On The Goals, Programs, And Outcomes Of The Oakland Promise, Including Budgetary Information
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Purpose and Objectives
Oakland Promise appreciates the opportunity to give a fiscal and programmatic update to the.
Education Partnership Committee about its governance structure, both historically and at present, its budget, K2C scholarship administration, and some information on evaluation and impacts to date in response to the questions asked by Education Partnership Committee members at the June 17, 2019 meeting.
Overview
In 2016, the City of Oakland and Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) created the Oakland Promise in partnership with the Oakland Public Education Fund (Ed Fund) and East Bay College Fund (EBCF). Bigger and bolder than similarly named Promise programs in cities like Longbeach, Richmond, and Kalamazoo, Oakland Promise was launched as a cradle-to-career movement ensuring that we as a community ensure every child in Oakland graduates high school with the expectations, resources, and skills to complete college and be successful in the career of their choice.
Launching and utilizing nonprofits to benefit the City of Oakland is not unique to the Oakland Promise. Other active examples include Keep Oakland Beautiful and the Neighborhood Law Corps. Currently, Oakland Promise includes four program components: Brilliant Baby for infants/toddlers and their parents; Kindergarten to College for elementary school students, College Access operating Future Centers in middle and high schools throughout the city, and College Completion with scholarships and persistence services provided to public school graduates while in career technical education programs, two year, or four year college. During its pilot stage, the Oakland Promise utilized the Oakland Public Education Fund as its nonprofit Item:

fiscal sponsor (fund audited statements attached). In July 2019, it merged its program delivery operations with the East Bay College Fund and consequently established its own 501 c3 status and Board of Directors.
Beginning in the 2015/17 Budget, the Oakland City Council has budgeted funds annually for the Kindergarten to College program (K2C) - awarding early college scholarships of $100 to all Oakland public school kindergarteners. While initially this allocation to Oakland Promise has been held in the city’s treasury, this year the funds will be dispersed to the now existing 501c3 organization, Oakland Promise. Once these kindergarteners enter a four year college, community college or trade certificate program, the early college scholarship will be dispersed to the previously identified students. Oakland Promise’s role will be to identify and track the recipients of the $100 K2C early college scholarship, make accessible the associated funds for the kindergarten-qualified recipients so that they know they have money saved for their post secondary option of choice, and distribute these funds with the qualifying event (e.g. entry into a four year college, community college, or trade certificate program).
Oakland should be proud of its Promise. In just three and a half years since its launch as a demonstration project, it has impacted more than 20,000 Oakland public school students and their families, including:
• 1,400 students who’ve gone to college with multi-year scholarships, a personal mentor and other persistence supports,
• Over 14,000 middle and high school students who’ve been supported in their postsecondary and career plans by a school-based Future Center, • Over 15,000 Kinder through third graders who have an $100 Early Oakland Promise College Scholarship fund or a match to their personal college savings account, and • 530 Brilliant Baby families with $500 college savings accounts and financial empowerment supports.
It has been hailed by former US Secretary of Education to President Obama Arne Duncan as a “bold and comprehensive approach, which has pulled together best practices from around the country.” He adds, “As former US Secretary of Education, I've seen many initiatives across the country - Oakland Promise is one of the most strategic and effective and has the potential to be a national model... Oakland Promise is truly a game changer for Oakland and its future generations.”
BACKGROUND / LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
The Oakland Promise is the culmination of several advocacy efforts, beginning in 2015 with Oakland Schoolboard Member Roseann Torres and Councilmember Annie Campbell Washington’s efforts to replicate San Francisco’s successful K to College initiative in Oakland.
Simultaneously, Mayor Schaaf began plans to establish Brilliant Baby, a two-generation college savings and financial empowerment program designed by Amanda Feinstein at the Haas Senior Foundation, as well as a partnership with OUSD and EBCF to launch middle and high school- based Future Centers to support students and their families with college access and to dramatically expand EBCF’s successful scholarship and college completion program. That year, both the City of Oakland and Oakland Unified School District allocated $150,000 each in their budgets for the Oakland Promise.

In June 2015, Mayor Schaaf hired David Silver as Director of Education to the Mayor. Local philanthropy initially funded the position within the Ed Fund. With no initial budget, Mr. Silver built the network of partnerships and organizational team, as well as secured millions in private donations, to build the Oakland Promise into what it is today.
On January 28, 2016 the City of Oakland, OUSD, and many partners publicly launched the Oakland Promise at Oakland High School with the endorsement of every individual Oakland City Councilmember and Schoolboard Member, as well as every state and federal elected representative of Oakland and more than 200 organizational partners and community champions. Participants included now-Governor Gavin Newsom, UC President Janet Napolitano, Cal State East Bay President Leroy Morishita, Peralta Community Colleges Chancellor Laguerre and Presidents from more than 20 colleges, including 6 historically black colleges (HBUs) who flew out to attend the launch.
In late 2016, Oakland adopted the Oakland Promise as a core strategy in both its Resilient Oakland Playbook and its My Brothers Keeper Strategic Plan. In early 2017, Oakland Unified School District Board of Directors unanimously approved a Board policy to make Oakland Promise “a key priority” of the school district, as did Oakland’s Youth Ventures Joint Powers Authority.
On October 4, 2016, the City Council unanimously approved Resolution 86400 funding Mr.
Silver’s position with city funds, making him a city employee with a primary responsibility to “Lead the Oakland Promise.” Mr. Silver’s position has been funded through Oakland’s regular budget process since that time.
Each year since it launched, the Oakland Promise has hosted a free Community Report, attended by hundreds of stakeholders, where it presents its Annual Report that details its governance, partners, champions, contributors, goals and outcomes. In Spring 2017 the Oakland Promise provided an informational update to the Oakland City Council’s Life Enrichment Committee.
In July 2018, all Oakland Promise staff whose positions were philanthropically-funded and were employed by the Ed Fund moved out of City Hall to the Oakland Promise’s first stand-alone offices subleased from OUSD.
In June 2019, Oakland City Council approved a budget which continued funding the position of the Director of Education and allocated $1,000,000 over two years to Oakland Promise for an early college fund as a $100 restricted encumbrance per student entering kindergartener at an Oakland public school. Earlier that month, Oakland Promise Board President Michael McAfee and CEO Mia Bonta provided an update at the Education Partnership Committee meeting with information on the upcoming governance structure changes. The EdPartnership Committee requested that Oakland Promise follow-up on a few questions and present again in September.
On July 1,2019, after successfully partnering for three years, Oakland Promise and East Bay College Fund merged into one unified nonprofit organization named Oakland Promise, holistically serving Oakland children and families from birth to career. This merger provides an opportunity to build stronger, seamless transitions for students, creating more power to transform outcomes for Oakland students and families. Oakland Promise has also hired a CEO Item:

In addition to the annual operating revenue of Oakland Promise, which supports direct service program and operating expenses as well as contributions directly to children and families, Oakland Promise manages the Generation Fund, described with additional detail below.
Generation Fund
Oakland Promise launched Oakland Promise Generation Fund, a universal commitment of multi-year scholarships to all public school students, with a particular focus on students from low-income backgrounds. We plan to serve a generation of students, many of whom will be the first in their family to go to college, with multi-year college scholarships linked with persistence services such as mentors, in addition to targeted supports in elementary, middle, and high school to ensure that all students have the opportunity to enroll in college and earn their degree.
Our goal towards this end is to raise $50 million and we have secured commitments for $29 million.
The Generation Fund will be raised almost exclusively through philanthropic giving and focus on providing financial awards that will go directly to supporting Oakland students to not only enter college but also to graduate. This fund will leverage nearly $7 in other student supports for every $1 from the fund. This $50 million scholarship fund will result in a nearly $682 million investment in student success over a 30-year period.

The basic principle of this model is to leverage Oakland Promise program supports to increase access to unclaimed federal and state grants for low-income students, merge college savings accounts (CSAs) with scholarships to leverage large amounts of earned interest on the endowment, and provide ‘deposits’ to students on a more frequent basis to both help them accumulate funds faster over their lifetimes and strengthen program quality by intervening at critical transitions points along the cradle-to-career continuum.
This fund will have a generational, transformative impact on students and families, dramatically increasing the number of students completing college and addressing the persistence of poverty in Oakland by providing quality educational opportunities for all children and families. The impact will have a ripple effect - family members of college graduates are three times more likely to graduate college.
Oakland Promise Banking and Audit:
In response to the questions related to Oakland Promise banking practices, upon establishment of a 501(c)(3) organization, Oakland Promise maintains its funds at Bank of America, with non cash assets invested at Beneficial State Bank. Funds for the Generation Fund are held in supporting organization accounts at the San Francisco Foundation and East Bay Community Foundation.
As indicated in the June 2019 Education Partnership meeting, Oakland Promise has requested initiation of an independent audit of the financial activities of the project to provide a completely transparent and sufficiently detailed financial picture of the activities of the project from launch until its establishment as an independent 501(c)(3) and will make this information available to the committee and the public upon completion.
PAST PERFORMANCE. EVALUATION AND FOLLOW-UP
Programming Impacts and Partnerships Update:
Information Requests:
Members of the Education Partnership Committee requested additional information regarding the overall impacts on students and families as a result of the launch and subsequent programs and partnerships of Oakland Promise. In particular, members requested more detailed information regarding outcomes for African American and Latinx students as well as recognition of other partnership work to produce these outcomes. Additionally, members wanted some additional context related to what the status of student outcomes were prior to Oakland Promise, as compared to after launch of the Promise.
Information Response:
Below are some initial outcome data demonstrating impact on children and families during the pilot phase of Oakland Promise project. Note that Oakland Promise has provided annual updates regarding its results with the desire to be transparent about opportunities for growth as well as areas of success. Provided here are some impact snapshots by program: Brilliant Baby, Item:

Brilliant Baby
As of today, Brilliant Baby has opened college savings accounts for 530 infants from low-income families, and seeded each account with $500. These funds are invested in an “Age-Based Moderate Risk” portfolio of funds with my529. Based on past performance of that fund and if the initial investment grows an average of 6% annually until the child is 18 years old, families will have approximately $1,400 for post secondary education. Additionally, 60% of Brilliant Baby parents have chosen to participate in a financial coaching program, receiving individual and group financial coaching services. As part of this program, they have the opportunity to earn stipends and a personal savings match totalling up to an additional $500.
Brilliant Baby is embedded as a service offering of early childhood programs throughout Oakland. These include: the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland Claremont Pediatric Clinic, six infant home visiting programs of the Alameda County Public Health Department, City of Oakland Early Head Start programs and its contractors Brighter Beginnings and the Unity Council, and two childcare referral agencies: Bananas and 4Cs. Additional partnerships are in development.
Seventy-eight percent of Brilliant Baby families have an income of under $30,000 a year; and racial/ethnicity demographics are as follows:
Times
% of families identify as Latinx 48%
% of families identify as African American 33%
% of families identify with two or more races 8%
% of families identify as White 1%
% of families identify as Asian 8%
% of families identify as other races or decline to state 2% In the context of financial coaching, families chose to work on financial wellness goals. The top two goals parents choose to work on were “increased savings” and “Money Management.” At the end of coaching families were progressing in over half of the goals they identified, and accomplished another 41 % of goals.
Kindergarten to College

of San Francisco, Director Torres and Council-member Annie Campbell Washington brought the kindergarten to college program to Oakland. As of today, 15,000 elementary school students in 61 district and charter public elementary schools have a $100 early scholarship established in their name. Additionally, 430 OUSD parents, 86.2% of whom qualify for free and/or reduced- priced lunch, have chosen to set up family-owned college savings accounts for their children, 66 of whom are saving regularly (at least 6 months in the first year of opening the account).
Oakland Promise incentivizes families with a $50 contribution to their child’s college savings account when the account is set up and a second $50 contribution if the family makes a deposit of any size into that account account six times in the first year. Families can also choose to open an account at the Self Help Federal Credit Union without using a Social Security Number.
Almost 900 families have participated in a financial workshop. % of families who identify as Latinx 37%
% of families who identify as African American 29%
% of families who identify with two or more races 11%
% of families who identify as White 8%
% of families who identify as Asian 6%
% of families who identify as Asian Pacific Islander 1% Lastly, Oakland Promise has provided $1,000 of philanthropically raised funds to each school, along with staff support at each school site, to institutionalize development a college-going culture through curriculum and activity adoption from the beginning of a child’s journey in elementary school. For the past two years, OP has sent over 1,000 students and families to UC Berkeley to the annual Cal Day to expose children to college, and for many it is their first time on a college campus. As of this school year, Oakland Promise is supporting 61 schools through the K2C program.

In 2019, Roosevelt Middle School will serve as a site where 1 full-time Future Center readiness specialist will conduct one-on-one support, classroom presentations, and marketing campaigns to enhance 6th grade transition and high school readiness. Roosevelt Middle School can access up to $1,000 to innovate promising practices.
College Access / Future Centers
In partnership with Oakland Promise, OUSD has assigned two full-time staff to direct coordinated college and postsecondary planning activities for the Oakland Promise. Oakland Promise directly funds one full-time College Access Coordinator who serves students at three OP Future Center Schools (Castlemont, Oakland High, and Coliseum College Prep Academy), and a Family Engagement Specialist to convene Parent Leadership group meetings. In addition, OUSD provides three full-time College and Career Readiness Specialists for each of the three OP Future Center high schools. OP sustained a promise that was made by previous district leadership to physically house college and career planning spaces at the 3 schools through independent fundraising. Other direct investments include giving resources to incentivize milestones in the college access journey: FAFSA / Dream Act application completion, College Crunch / Application events, and the production of the Black College Expo Caravan, which brought $1.4 million in 2018 and $1.6 million in 2019 in scholarships to students.

Seven additional College and Career Readiness Specialist (CCRSs) who work with the OUSD College Access Coordinator and the Oakland Promise Director of College Access provide support to students and school teams across seven high schools. The CCRS team collectively shares best practices with a focus on serving students not traditionally accessing college access supports, such as Pacific Islander students, students with 2.0-2.5 GPA, those who are not on- track to graduate, and Latinx students at Castlemont. CCRSs also coordinate with principals Item:

Strategic discussions take place quarterly with principals and in close coordination with the High School Network Superintendent to review data on college readiness. Oakland Promise also meets regularly with partners such as African American Male Achievement, Latino Men and Boys, Latino Education Network, NAACP, and Asian Pacific Islandar Student Achievement to make sure supports are anchored in community needs.
In an effort to enhance a system that serves all Oakland High School students, the College Access team works in tandem with partners which precipitated a partnership with Peralta Colleges to offer free tuition in the first year of college to Oakland public school students, and to offer small learning communities so that students know about other counseling services on Peralta campuses. Other college and career access programming includes a focused set of supports to prevent “Summer Melt” during the period between high school graduation and college matriculation. CCRS’s engaged students intending to enroll in postsecondary plans through phone calls and texting, and created the Opportunity Day event, where local employers, Item:

Oakland Promise is restructuring programming and re-engaging community partners and service providers in the 2019-20 school year to alter this downward trend, which mimics national college-going rates for Latinx students.
Any Oakland high school student can access a streamlined college scholarships application process for multitude of scholarships. Finally, in collaboration with the Office of the Mayor, Oakland Promise produced a printed Student Guide, with an online educator’s handbook and parent/family guide to follow in 2019-20.
College Completion
As a merged organization (East Bay College Fund and Oakland Promise), Oakland Promise increased annual multi-year college scholarship awards to 400 high school graduates each year. 74% (292 out of 392) of all scholarships in 2019 went to graduates from the three Future Center high schools. Over four years, $10.6 million in scholarships were awarded to 1,449 Oakland students.
Historically, the East Bay College Fund had served as the Oakland Promise's lead agency for College Scholarships Completion, including the partnership agreements with colleges and universities, since its launch. East Bay College Fund was a separate 501 c3 with a 15 year track record of successfully supporting Oakland’s students to graduate from college. Typically 80% of East Bay College Fund students graduate from college compared to 20% nationally for low- income students. Through the partnership, EBCF provided provided over $8M in scholarships & scholarship administration to support over 1,100 students linked to the mentoring, advising, and career development throughout college that helps low-income students through college.

Much of the direct service work of the Oakland Promise is done within the context of operating in partnership within a larger set of committed community-based organizations and support providers. Oakland Promise has been fortunate to be able to collaborate meaningfully with many groups including NAACP, Latino Education Network, East Bay Consortium, Oakland Natives Give Back, Unity Council and many others. For the past 15 years, the East Bay Consortium/Cal-SOAP and the East Bay Cash for College coalition have led the FAFSA and Dream Act application completion efforts in OUSD to increase financial aid application completion rates. Over 90 financial aid workshops provide free assistance to over 3,000 students and families completing the required financial aid forms for college. In 2016, Oakland Promise joined the Cash for College coalition and together, we have been able to increase the FAFSA/Dream App completion districtwide to an all-time high of 80% in 2018-19. Cal-SOAP and Cash for College are programs administered by the California Student Aid Commission. At Castlemont High School, completion rates went from 75% to 92% in 2017.
Conclusion
Oakland Promise has, with the support of the Oakland community, evolved from its origins as a public-private partnership to its current form today as a 501(c)(3) dedicated to improving educational outcomes for Oakland students and families. In partnership with many stakeholders in Oakland, including the City of Oakland’s Mayor’s Office, Oakland Unified School District, OUSD School Board, Oakland City Council, East Bay Consortium, East Bay College Fund, Oakland NAACP, Latino Education Network, Peralta Community College School District, CSUEB, HBCU’s, to name a few, the work of Oakland Promise has encompassed 4 programs - Brilliant Baby, Kindergarten to College, College Access/Future Centers, and College Completion. These programs, led by dedicated and diligent cross-sector and cross- organizational teams, have generated noteworthy impact while maintaining fiscally responsible budgeting. More than 70% of Oakland Promise’s budget is either in direct support of students and families or towards programs that support students and families. In this new phase of its journey, Oakland Promise is poised to continue to accelerate its impact and strengthen partnerships in service of our common vision and goals.

"We have a goldmine of knowledge here in Oakland. These young warriors give their best effort day in and day out to receive an education, but sometimes it can be difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The Oakland Promise matters to me because not only will it help students graduate high school, but will set them up for success in college with a bright future."

"Every one of us needs to do something. It
doesn't matter how much you give or what
you do, but you have to do something. And if
we all do something, then we can raise up
Oakland."

anything they can dream."
-Barack Obama

Through our lead agency East Bay College Fund (EBCF), Oakland Promise students receive multi-year scholarships linked with persistence, such as 1-1 mentors, peer mentors, and counseling, to ensure all students are supported to and through college. All Oakland public school students benefit from the partnerships with 24 colleges, including 7 Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

Sustainability:
Success in college and career for all Oakland students is a big lift.
We have the opportunity to transform opportunities for
Oakland's children and prepare a generation of Oakland students for success in college and career. In order for this initiative to be sustainable, we are partnering with a broad group of
stakeholders. As we continue to grow, the Oakland Promise works with key stakeholders and community members to ensure that it is deeply embedded in the community and built to last.

Many of us will be the first in our family to attend college, but we will definitely not be the last. My American Dream started as a nightmare, but now we can rewrite the script for every young person in the city and for generations to come so that college success is the norm." —Darius Aikens, OU5D graduate from Oakland High School, Oakland Prom ise Ambassador, East Bay College Fund Oakland Promise scholar who is now a freshman at UCLA.

OAKLAND
PROMISE
Who We Serve RACE/ETHNICITY OF STUDENTS SERVED THROUGH OAKLAND PROMISE The Oakland Promise serves over 10,000 students across
50+ schools and implementing partners. Addressing inequities in college completion is critical to realizing our vision of all students having the opportunity to complete college and be successful in the career of their dreams. As such, we strive to serve students who are reflective of the diversity of Oakland and specifically to target our services to students most traditionally underrepresented in college.
The people that the Oakland Promise serves, both for all of its students and its targeted programs, reflect Oakland's community of students, by serving African American, Asian and Latinx children at equal or higher rates than the general Oakland public schools population.
Note: Oakland Promise Individual Student/Family-Level Programming in the graph above includes Brilliant Babies, K2C CSA families, and students engaged in College Scholarships and Completion.These three programs were highlighted in this graph as each provides individual families with more deeply targeted programming.

PROMISE
Sustainability: Building a Movement
College and career success for all Oakland students is a big lift. We have the opportunity to transform outcomes for Oakland's children and prepare a generation of Oakland students for success in college and career In order to fulfill our promises to students, we are building a strategy for sustainable funding through private philanthropy and public sources.
As we continue to grow our roots in Oakland, the Oakland Promise works with key stakeholders and community members to ensure that it is deeply embedded in the community and built to last.

community engagement events held by the Oakland Promise "OP is thinking on a generation level. Often it feels like we are playing catch up — putting bandaids on bullet holes.
The Oakland Promise is thinking about children who haven’t even been born yet. It’s looking to interrupt generational poverty. That excites me." —OUSD High School Teacher 2nd Annual Oakland Promise Report 2018-22- www.oaklandpromise.org

External Evaluation Results
The Oakland Promise worked with NORC at the University of Chicago to conduct an independent evaluation of our impacts in the first two years. They found the following:
• In 2016-17, students at Oakland Promise high schools reported applying to at least one post-secondary educational institution at a rate of 88%, compared to 77% for their peers at comparison Non-OP High Schools. This included significant differences for African American students (13 percentage points) and Latinx students (4 percentage points) between OP and non-OP schools, as well.” • For the 2015-2016 senior class, there was a 7 percentage point increase in students enrolling in any college or university (2-year or 4-year) in the fall after their senior year for students from OP schools, while rates stayed flat at comparison schools. • Enrollment in 4-year colleges for African American students increased by 14 percentage points at OP schools between 2014-2015 and 2015-2016, while it stayed flat at non-OP schools.

“Oakland Promise is not just an opportunity for
those born in the United States — it is for all of our
Oakland community. One day, I want to go to UC
Berkeley and study political science to become
a politician. I want to represent my Oakland
community and change the narrative to something
more positive, more empowering.”
—Gema Quetzal, Student Member of the State Board of
Education, Student Director of All City Council 2017-2018, and Oakland Promise Ambassador
"What yearwiLI. our
kindergartners graduate
college? 2035. Thinking
about this makes it real.
Because of the Oakland
Promise, 2035 is becoming
part of our vocabulary;
savings accounts are
becoming part of
our vocabulary. We are
changing the way we talk
about it and slowly
changing our attitudes."

"I am impressed by the bold and comprehensive approach of the Oakland Promise which has pulled together best practices from around the country. As former U.S. Secretary of Education,
initiatives across the country... Oakland Promise is one of the most strategic and effective... it leverages private philanthropy for public dollars and is already achieving outstanding results.
OP changes the trajectory of our Oakland students from the time they are born, through the time they graduate from college and enter the workforce. Oakland Promise is truly a game changer I’ve seen ma
for Oakland and its future generations with the potential to be a national model.”
—Arne Duncan, Former US Secretary of Education
Z d Annual Community Rcoort 2018:The Oakland Promise www.www.oaklandpromise.org
Aligned Initiatives
We cannot do this alone —we collaborate with other initiatives to realize our common vision “Oakland Promise is a critical strategy to achieve educational equity, i have seen firsthand how African American, Latinx, and Asian Pacific Islander students have benefited from the support - it is not only providing opportunity but creating a culture where college is the expectation. I am proud to partner with Oakland Promise and East Bay College Fund to empower more of our students to complete college and be a role model for the next generation of Kings and Queens across Oakland." —Chris Chatmon Executive Director, Office of Equity and Founder of African-American Male Achievement (AAMA)

OAKLAND
PROMISE
Who We Serve OAKLAND PROMISE RACE/ETHNITY OF STUDENTS SERVED The Oakland Promise serves over 14,600 students across
58 schools and implementing partners. Addressing inequities in college completion is critical to realizing our vision of all students having the opportunity to complete college and be successful in the career of their dreams. As such, we strive to serve students who are reflective of the diversity of Oakland and specifically to target our services to
students most traditionally underrepresented in college.
The people that the Oakland Promise serves, both for all of its students and its targeted programs, reflect Oakland's community of students, by serving African American, Asian and Latinx children at equal or higher rates than the general Oakland public schools population.
Note: Oakland Promise Individual Student/Family-Level Programming in the graph above includes Brilliant Babies, K2C CSA families, and students engaged in College Scholarships and Completion.These three programs were highlighted in this graph as each provides individual families with more deeply targeted programming.

Kindergarten to CollegeOAKLAND
PROMISE
Approximately 5,000 students start Kindergarten in Oakland public schools each year.
Kindergarten to College (K2C) opens a $ 100 early college scholarship for every Kindergartner in Oakland public schools, beginning with the 2016-2017 cohort onwards.
Additionally, K2C supports families to open their own 529 savings accounts, offering up to $ 100 as a savings incentive. By providing a dedicated K2C point person and through targeted programming such as early college scholarship celebrations, financial literacy workshops, and college going activities - including an annual trip to UC Berkeley and providing college-going lesson plans - K2C aims to instill a college-bound mindset in all students and families.

Students in Oakland Promise high schools completed the FAFSA and Dream Act application and applied to college at higher rates than their peers in non-OP schools. NORC at the University of Chicago conducted an independent data analysis of administrative data.
Chart 3: For three years in a row, FAFSA / Dream application completion among students in Oakland Promise high schools were significantly higher compared to their peers at non-OP high schools. (Data source: California Student Aid Commission) Chart 4: In the Class of 2018, students at Oakland Promise high schools reported applying to college at higher rates than students at non-OP high schools; rates for both application and enrollment were comparatively higher among Latinx students in Oakland Promise high schools. (Data source: Senior Survey) Charts 5-7: Overall, more OUSD students are enrolling in 4-year college immediately after high school graduation. African American students in Oakland Promise high schools continue to surpass their peers in non-OP schools in enrollment in 4-year colleges. Latinx students in Oakland Promise high schools experienced a decrease in college enrollments between 2015 and 2017 while those in comparison schools held a slight increase. (Data source: National Student Clearinghouse) Charts 8-9: The first year of Oakland Promise support in OUSD high schools led to improvements in college enrollment to 4-year colleges among African American students.

AGENDA REPORTCITY OF OAKLAND
TO: Sabrina B. Landreth
City Administrator
FROM: Office of the Mayor
SUBJECT: Mayor’s Director of Education Grant
Funding
DATE: 9/15/16
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council adopt a:
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR OR DESIGNEE
TO ACCEPT AND APPROPRIATE GRANT FUNDS FROM THE OAKLAND
PUBLIC EDUCATION FUND IN THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF TWO HUNDRED SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($207,000) TO BE USED TO PROVIDE FULL FUNDING FOR THE MAYOR’S DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION FOR THE
REMAINDER OF FISCAL YEAR 2017 (NOVEMBER 2016-JUNE 2017),
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Adoption of the proposed resolution will fund the Mayor’s Director of Education as a City of < Oakland position in the Office of the Mayor from November 2016-June 2017.
BACKGROUND / LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
Upon election, Mayor Schaaf partnered with philanthropy to develop the Mayor's Director of Education (DOE). This senior advisor position to the mayor has the responsibility of implementing the Mayor’s priorities to ensure quality education for all Oakland students, and in particular our students with the highest needs. This includes implementing the Oakland Promise, a cradle to career strategy that supports more students to get to and graduate from college. In addition, the Director of Education is responsible for expanding access to high-quality early education for all children and combatting early chronic absenteeism, expanding student access to personalized learning and technology, strengthening and expanding pathways to college and career, and developing restorative practices for youth across city and county agencies. The Director works as a liaison to all city agencies and relevant state, federal and county agencies, the local public school district, and other community and neighborhood groups concerning efforts to ensure high quality educational opportunities for all our children and youth.
The DOE is funded through combined contributions from the following organizations: The Oakland Public Education Fund*, Educate 78, David and Lucile Packard Foundation, Rainin Item:

Date: 9/15/16 Page 2
Foundation, Rogers Family Foundation, The Uplands Family Foundation, and Oakland Unified School District.
The Oakland Public Education Fund has agreed to accept the grants from other organizations and make one re-grant to the City of Oakland. An Advisory Committee has been established to assist the Mayor and the Director in working effectively with foundations, corporations, nonprofits, and the community.
ANALYSIS AND POLICY ALTERNATIVES
Quality, equitable education is an essential aspect of a thriving City. The Mayor’s office works collaboratively with the school district to support all students in Oakland. The Mayor’s Director of Education is responsible for coordinating collaborative action by city and county agencies, the school district, community groups and state and federal partners to strengthen the City’s partnership with the school district and other education and child/youth serving organizations to improve educational outcomes for historically underserved youth. The Director of Education is the chief policy advisor to the Mayor on issues of education from early childhood through post secondary and adult education. The Director of Education is also the liaison and support for all education-related agencies in the city (public schools, higher education, and youth and family serving city agencies). These agencies have varying governance structures and levels of independence. The Director will identify and support opportunities for collaboration across this landscape, to ensure the Mayor is aware of the progress and priorities of each agency, and to hold city and county agencies accountable for their strategic use of government resources.
While much of the work of education happens within schools and their dedicated agencies, there are many issues that benefit from—or even require—reaching across the government into non-education agencies. From crossing guards, to mental health workers, to support for chronic absenteeism prevention and intervention, our partner agencies across the city, county, and state governments play a critical role in the success of our schools. The Director of Education also creates and coordinates a hub for projects that involve multiple players in the education space, particularly across the Oakland public schools. With each education entity focused on its particular interests, it is helpful to have a convening party that can manage projects across these entities to leverage our full range of public education assets and resources.
In summary, the Director of Education will be the key liaison between the Mayor’s Office and Oakland Unified School District. The Director will assist all entities to tackle the pressing issues of Oakland, and to accelerate impact to create a more equitable and high quality education system in Oakland.
FISCAL IMPACT
The acceptance of this grant has no negative fiscal impact on the City. The Oakland Public Education Fund grant will fund the Director of Education position in its entirety (salary and benefits) for the eight month period from November 2016 through June 2017. The funds will be deposited and appropriated in the Miscellaneous Grant Fund (2999), the Mayor’s Organization (01111), and a Project (to be established).
