Statement of Need a) Discuss why members of the sponsoring entity believe that the proposed school is needed and why they believe that sufficient demand exists to make the school viable. The iWin Foundation intends to establish iWin Preparatory Academies in the Terrell and Kaufman County region. We will present evidence below which will demonstrate a demand for solutions and choice in order to relieve pressing issues with the current quality of the education being provided by the Terrell Independent School District and Kaufinan County schools. These issues include below state and regional average performance as documented in the 2012 Texas Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) reports for Terrell lSD, low college readiness data for Terrell lSD, low commended performance percentages for Terrell lSD, at-risk and economically disadvantaged data, high teen pregnancy and drug related numbers that are preventing our students from attaining academic success.

These four campuses provided education for 2,889 of the district's 4,115 students. According to the 2010-2011 Accountability Data tables and AEIS reports, Terrell High School is Academically Unacceptable for African American students in Mathematics at 57% meeting standard and Economically Disadvantaged students in Mathematics at 63% meeting standard. Herman Furlough Jr. Middle School is Academically Unacceptable for African American students meeting standard in Mathematics at 63% and in Science at 53%. Dr. Bruce Wood Elementary School is rated Academically Unacceptable for Mrican American students in Writing at 61 % and Hispanic Students in Science with 59% of the students meeting the standard. In Science, only 57% of the African American students met the standard. However this group did not affect the campus rating due to only 21 students being tested. J. W. Long Elementary is also rated Academically Unacceptable in Science for only 50% of its African American students meeting the standard. 5 of 461 2 TEXASEDUCATIONAGENCY DEPARTMENT OF ASSESSMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY FINAL 2012 AyP RESULTS TERRELL ISD 129906 MISSED A yP READING AND MATHEMATICS TERRELL H S 002 MISSED A yP MATHEMATICS TERRELL ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION CE 004 NOT EVALUATED HERMAN FURLOUGH JR MIDDLE 041 MISSED A yP READING AND MATHEMATICS KENNEDY EL 101 NOT EVALUATED J W LONG EL 102 MISSED AYP READING AND MATHEMATICS W H BURNETT EL 103 :MISSED A yP READING AND MATHEMATICS TISD CHILD & ADOLESCENT SCHOOL 104 DR BRUCE WOOD EL 106 MISSED AYP MATHEMATICS The 2012 Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Results show Terrell ISD did not meet A yP in Reading (performance) and Mathematics (performance).

Student Demographics: Diversity is seen within the Terrell ISD school district boundaries. Current student population breakdowns include: Hispanic - 41.2%; White - 30.9%; African American - 24.9%; Asian.9%; Indian - 0.4%; Two or More Races - 1.6%; Economically Disadvantaged - 75.8%; Limited English Proficient - 19.2%; At-risk - 57.7%.

"Commended Performance" is the goal we have wanted for the majority of our students. Attaining these knowledge and skills has indicated a strong foundation for our students' success in their future. As indicated in the 2012 AEIS report, Terrell ISD has failed our students by falling below the State and our Region 10 Commended Performance levels in all tested areas. This is further evidence of a lack of rigorous instruction being provided to their students. 4% ,-----------89% 3.4% 87% 3% 85% II TerrelllSD 2% -Region 10 83% TerrelllSD 81% IIiIState 79% 1% 77% 0% 75% Annual Dropout Rate 2010-2011 Class of 20 10 Class of 2011 According to the 2012 Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) Report, the Terrell Independent School District's dropout rate of3.4% is higher than the State average of2.5% and the Region 10 average of2.1 %.:. Terrell lSD's 2010 and 2011 classes were also well below the State and Region 10 averages. The 2010 4-Y ear graduation rate was at 77% as compared to the State and Region rate of 84%. The most recent AEIS data, from the class of2011, shows that Terrell only graduated 78% of its class while the State percentage was 86% and the Region 10 at 85%. As stated by the American Psychological Association, there are certain risk factors for dropping out of high school. These include truancy, poor attendance, a negative school climate, low expectations, poor attitude toward school, absence of community support for schools, grade retention, and poor academic performance. These factors show that students in high poverty schools will often dropout due to the lack of academic achievement and success. The Annual Dropout Rate and 4-Year Graduation Rate percentages referred to above show the immediate need of academic intervention for our at-risk students. 7 of 461 4 Texas Success InitiativeITSI)-College-Ready Graduates Terrell ISD 2011-2012 AEIS Data 75% T-------------------------------- 70% +--------------------------------- 65% +---------~~~------------- 60% BRegion 10 +----- 55% o Terrell ISD +----- mlState 50% ; - - English Language Arts Mathematics Furthermore, only 53% of the 2012 graduating class proved to be college-ready in English Language Arts compared to 61 % for the State and 64 % for Region 10.

As a result, there is an urgent need to prepare students for college within this geographic area. According the most recent Annual Texas Success Initiative Report for 2011, Terrell ISD saw only 37% of the 2011 graduating class enrolling in an institute of higher learning. With the state average at 48% and Kaufman County at 46%, the data shows a significant gap for graduates from Terrell ISD.

This data draws attention to the fact that students, who do graduate from the local isd, are even further behind their peers in being college-ready and college bound. 9 of 461 6 Terrell ISD SAT/ACT Results 2011-2012 AEIS Data 71~9% 70% ~-.~~~----------------------- 60% 50% ..

Terrell lSD's college readiness indicators from 2010 to 2011 point out there is significant discrepancy in numbers of students tested as well as the percentage that score at or above the criterion on the SAT and ACT tests. In 2011 only 54% of students were tested and of those tested merely 11 % scored at or above the Criterion. With Terrell ISD students scoring well below both the region and the state on the ACT and SAT, there is an urgent need for iWin Preparatory to assist these students in achieving college readiness. iWin Preparatory will offer a choice for our high need, at-risk students and their families to attain college bound academic success. Students will be able to participate in a New Tech model instructional setting with individual education plans and a focus on project-based learning. College Readiness Standards will be embedded into all curriculum K through 12. Students will benefit from a mentoring program to insure student success and increase academic perfonnance and college readiness for all our students. iWin Preparatory is committed to providing equal opportunity, academic access, and success for ALL STUDENTS. Students identified as at-risk need a solid support system through the use of highly engaging and relevant project based learning instruction; a sustainable mentoring program; and a solid foundational Response to Intervention program. Typical classroom instruction includes a 'stand and deliver' approach by the teacher. Research proves this model does not allow for differentiated instruction to meet the individual needs of the students. The need for academics like iWin Preparatory is obvious with the low percentage of graduates and the lack of student college readiness that further defines these students who are in need of early intervention services. Some of the intervening services need to ensure the academic success of students' include: early literacy development; partnerships between school, family, and community; safe and orderly classroom environments; high academic expectations of students from adults and peers; student mentoring; rigorous instruction; and strategies for monitoring and improving attendance. 10 of 461 7 All of these factors are included in Ron Edmonds's Correlates of Effective Schools that state "We can whenever and wherever we choose, successfully teach all children whose schooling is of interest to us. We already know more than we need to do that. Whether or not we do it must finally depend on how we feel about the fact we haven't so far." Edmonds's Second generation Correlates include the following for the creation of aneffective school: 1. A Clear and Focused School Mission; 2. A Safe and Orderly Environment; 3. High Expectations; 4. An Opportunity to Learn and Time on Task; 5. 'Instructional Leadership; 6. Frequent Monitoring of Student Progress; 7. Positive Home-School Relationships. iWin preparatory is committed to this research by providing schools that have a clearly articulated mission in which all staff shares, understands, and steadfastly conducts themselves to our instructional goals, priorities, assessment procedures, and accountability. Along with this, staff and students will be provided with an atmosphere that is conducive to teaching and learning. A climate of high expectations will be fostered where all staff and students believe they can achieve mastery and beyond. Effective instructional leadership will be provided by articulating and living by the mission and ensuring a quality instructional program is delivered to all students. Multiple sources of assessment will be utilized to allow feedback to students on their progress and provide intervention strategies as needed for academic success. Parents, community, and students will be offered opportunities to become highly engaged in the teachinglearning process. Through these research-based strategies iWin Preparatory will be able to offer students a quality education while focusing on college and career readiness. Within the Kaufman County Criminal Justice Community Plan (FY2005) as presented by chairperson Bonnie Dockery who is the Coordinator of Counselor Training and Social Services for Terrell ISD; among children 10-17 years of age, 13% have some type of drug violation. In that same age range, 16.3% are teenage mothers compared to the state rate of 5.7%. With these overwhelming percentages of teen drug use and pregnancy, there is an undeniable need for intervention to rescue our children. iWin Preparatory is a necessary choice to intercede as we seek to educate and transform our children both socially and academically. College must be a possible reality made obtainable by all stakeholders in the academic preparation which will be received by students at iWin Preparatory. Although there is a private school in our community, it offers instruction for only kindergarten through third grade and is more expensive than most of our families who truly need a choice can afford. According to city-data. com, the median household income for Terrell residence is $35,056. With this in mind in these difficult economic times, iWin Preparatory will offer families and students a free public educational choice. We emphatically believe our children and families deserve this opportunity for a choice in their education. The vast majority of charter schools are located in large urban settings with very few found in smaller rural communities. We understand the politics involved and how it is seemingly easier to gamer opposition. However, the students of our community are struggling academically and socially and are in great need of choice. Our students and parents are just as deserving of equity as they seek a choice in their education. iWin Preparatory offers them that choice. 11of461 8 The strongest and most telling indicator of need and demand for the proposed iWin Preparatory Schools in the community is the overwhelming number of supporters this early in the application process. 424 parents have indicated they would enroll their children. The total number of projected student candidates is an astounding 943. Among those who have indicated their support with a signature include 329 non-parent community members and 19 business owners. b) Explain how the charter school model will enhance the academic outcomes for students.

In exchange for being held accountable for student achievement results, charter schools are generally free from bureaucratic and union rules that prevent principals from hiring, firing or evaluating their own teams. Freedom without accountability is irresponsible. Like all professionals, educators need to be accountable for the results of their work. Yet accountability without freedom is unfair: How can teachers or principals be held responsible for results if they don't control decisions about curriculum or teaching methods? Accountability and freedom do not guarantee that a school will provide an excellent education, but they are prerequisites (Kenny, The Wall Street Journal)." iWin Preparatory will provide the community of Terrell this alternative choice for their children with accountability, innovative instruction, and extraordinary expectations for all stakeholders. We will allow for teachers to be creative in their instructional practices to meet the individual 12 of 461 9 needs of our students, in addition to the fostering of robust involvement from parents and the community. The normal instructional practices found in today's schools are teacher centered with little opportunity for student engagement and interaction or differentiation. Students often work in isolation with teachers disseminating information and having little knowledge of whether or not their students are achieving mastery of the content. This type of instruction does not prepare our students with the skills they need to succeed in today's high tech job market where collaboration and problem solving are a must. High teacher turnover rates have also compounded the problems schools are encountering with 46% of teachers leaving the profession within the first five years. Teachers state that lack of planning time, heavy workloads, disruptive student behavior, and the inability to have influence over school policies cause them to stop teaching. Attracting and retaining highly qualified teachers is a key component that will be the focus for iWin Preparatory to becoming a successful school with an emphasis on student success. In order to attain this goal, iWin Preparatory will institute a teacher mentoring and induction program, with on-going, imbedded professional development to assist teachers with the skills necessary to being successful facilitators of learning. A peer coaching model will be implemented to ensure teachers are able to gauge and develop their effectiveness through best practices. Time will be afforded to allow teachers to plan instruction through collaborative professional learning communities. A zero tolerance approach to discipline, relationship building with students and parents, autonomy in classroom decisions, input towards district and campus policies, and sitebased decision making will be provided. Through these avenues, iWin Preparatory will be able to attract the 'best of the best' in the teaching profession and focus on academic excellence for all of our students. Following the Correlates of Effective Schools will enable students, parents, staff, and the community to realize that we are recruiting and retaining the most effective teachers possible for our students. IWin Preparatory will adopt principles from programs such as "Love and Logic" and "Capturing Kids' Hearts". This will allow administrators, teachers, and staff to learn how to create a campus and classrooms built on trust, respect, and caring relationships with all stakeholders. Along with this, all faculty and staff will learn how to become part of a high performing learning community. As students progress through our school system, they will continually learn about responsibility, respect, trust, and safety. These four principles will be modeled in relevant ways by staff as these expectations are ingrained on our students. The students will have a multitude of examples and experiences they can fall back on that will not only contribute to their success in the education process, but will set a foundation for success in life. Trust will be modeled by staff through the independence they will have within their classrooms to engage in innovative instructional delivery, always focusing on each student's Individual Education Plan. Teachers will have the opportunity to receive continual professional development so as to provide differentiated instruction to be utilized in the ways their students learn. Students will be surveyed to obtain feedback for teachers on lessons and ways to improve instructional techniques according to their Individual Education Plans. Students will take ownership of their education and will be encouraged to be creative, have in-depth technological skills, and become welldisciplined citizens of society. 13 of 461 10 iWin Preparatory will continually evaluate the effectiveness of our instructional delivery through various collections of data drawn from all stakeholders so that we can make timely, informed decisions for facilitating change as necessary. iWin Preparatory will offer an additional 8,370 minutes of instructional time. This additional time will add the equivalent of 20 instructional days. The total amounts to 200 days as contrasted to the 175 offered through the local public school system. Effective leaders and teachers use many types of data to measure student perfonnance and drive instruction. It is ineffective to utilize statewide assessment data alone to shape and improve instruction within the school year. Collecting, interpreting, and using a variety of data continually throughout the year will be common practice at iWin Preparatory. , Formative assessment will be an integral part ofthe instructional process. When incorporated into classroom practice, it will provide the information necessary to monitor student and teacher performance and adjust instructional strategies as they are occurring. As a result, both teachers and students are informed about targeted learning mastery at a point when timely adjustments can be made. These adjustments help to ensure students' achievement meets targeted standards and learning goals within an established time frame. Various types of data will be gathered including: curriculum-based assessments, student grades in comparison to achievement on curriculum-based assessments, student and teacher attendance, discipline, and student work. Students will be taught and held responsible for monitoring and tracking their own achievement in all areas of learning. Administrators will conduct consistent, individual data talks with teachers to monitor student achievement in all areas. Regular classroom walkthroughs will be conducted to monitor instruction and assist teachers if improvement is necessary. Immediate feedback will be provided to teachers regarding their instructional practices. The State of Texas Assessment for Academic Readiness (STAAR) and STAAR end of course (EOC) will be used as summative assessments. Project-based learning outcomes will be measured through the use of teacher, student, and community designed rubrics as well as other qualitative measurements as necessary. Parents playa crucial role in determining the efficacy of a charter school. The choice parents have of whether to seek and continue enrollment of their students in iWin Preparatory is paramount. Their collaboration and input will be continually sought throughout the year through the use of surveys and site-based decision making meetings. A model teaching and learning environment will be provided to students through the use of innovative techniques and accountability for all stakeholders to constantly increase student performance and academic achievement. By addressing the critical need and demand for an alternative to the current public school system, students in our area will be taken to the next level of educational excellence by our iWin Preparatory charter school model. 14of461 11 Comparison ofiWin Preparatory and Local ISD f r Extended Day I Instructional Days I I r Stakeholder Committment l l I { Students Involvement in the Monitoring of Their Learning I Project-Based Learning (K-5) Dual Language (1<.-5) New Tech Middle and High School o ~ I:i ooo , oo ",. o YES - iWin Preparatory o NO - Terrell ISD ] 1 o YES - iWin Preparatory oNO - Terrell ISD o YES - iWin Preparatory o NO - Terrell ISO Prominent Parent Participation oo J o oo~...."'" 15 of 461 J o NO - iWin Preparatory o YES - Terrell ISD ) o YES - iWm Preparatory o NO - Terrell ISD Parent Involvement Program L J o YES - iWin Preparatory oNO - Terrell ISD Individual Education Plan Stakeholder Involvement in Assessment Feedback J o YES - iWin Preparatory o NO - Terrell ISD j Baseline Assessment o YES - iWin Preparatory o NO - Terrell ISD o 180 - i Win Preparatory ?175 - Terrell ISD J o YES - iWin Preparatory o NO - Terrell ISD o YES - iWin Preparatory oNO - Terrell ISD o YES - i Win Preparatory o NO - Terrell ISD J J J Section 2: Vision of the School 16 of 461 2. Vision of the School a) Provide a succinct long-term vision for the proposed school. iWin Preparatory's Vision Statement: The iWin Preparatory School seeks to provide students with diverse backgrounds and needs, an outstanding academic program, based on best teaching and learning theories, while preparing students to be college and career ready in a challenging and stimulating environment that instills positive ethical, moral, and civic values to prepare students to serve their communities as 2Ft century leaders and exemplary citizens. Realizing that in order to fulfill its commitment to excellence, it must strive to provide all teachers and staff with ongoing professional development while being attuned and responsive to their concerns and needs, recognizing their contributions and skills. iWin Preparatory's Philosophy: Educational reform is needed in order to prepare students with the 2pt century skills necessary to be productive citizens. Commitment ofa world class education for all our students is a cause striving toward At iWin Preparatory, we are convinced that we are commissioned with the task of preparing our students for a post-secondary world that is ever changing and technologically proficient Today we are preparing students for unlmownjobs of the future. Students will encounter developing matters such as ethical use of technology, medical and health challenges, food shortages, impoverishment, population growths and many new environmental and social issues. Thus, students must be able to exchange ideas and initiate social, economic, and political change individually and through collaboration with others while ultimately functioning on local, state, national, and worldwide levels. Creating students who make the world a better place is a goal ofiWin Preparatory. All students can make an immediate difference in their world by involving themselves in relevant service learning projects. With constantly developing technologies making possible limitless possibilities for innovative discoveries and advancements in all arenas: medicine, science, energy production, environment change, and infrastructures to name a few, our students will possess the unlimited ability to improve our world. Project-Based Learning: A new instructional approach that engages all learners. iWin Preparatory will provide an elite secondary 21 st Century paradigm that falls under the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) umbrella. Our model will graduate collaborative, critical thinkers who will be capable of framing and solving the problems that will shape our collective future. 17 of 461 Project-Based Learning (PBL) will be the focal point of our instruction. PBL integrates technology and inquiry based learning to engage students with issues and questions that are relevant to their lives. Within our classrooms, teachers will design rigorous projects aligned to state and district standards customizing them to their environment and the interests of the students. Students will work in teams to acquire and apply knowledge and skills to solve problems. iWin Preparatory's approach to PBL fundamentally changes the role of both the teacher and student. Instead of the traditional one instructor to many students, teachers will actually serve as facilitators and coaches to guide students to take charge of their own learning, invent their own solutions, and develop self-management techniques. Deep investment in this process along with ongoing training and supports will ensure all teachers can become effective in this transfonnative approach to learning. Students will become active learners and doers who take responsibility to complete projects. Ultimately, students will develop the tools to handle long, complex tasks while learning to manage and organize their time. Working in teams to create products such as presentations, designs, plays, short stories, and prototypes are just a sampling of activities students will participate in at iWin Preparatory. As a result, students will acquire not only subject-matter knowledge, but also gain the skills needed to thrive in college, career, and life. iWin Preparatory's culture will empower students and teachers. Trust, respect and responsibility will be the hallmarks of the culture. At our schools, all stakeholders will have a unique ownership and voice in our decisions and the general direction of our instruction. Students will acquire a level of responsibility comparable to what they will encounter in their post-secondary education and in their future occupations. They will experience accountability to others and personal responsibility as they complete projects and produce products. In this trusted, respectful environment, students will decide how to allocate their time, team roles, and how to collaborate with their peers. Students will also have a voice in campus leadership and policy. Campus administrators will form student advisory committees to gain input from student leaders. In addition to helping set school administrations and policy, students will have flexibility to customize classrooms and projects to meet their individual needs. iWin Preparatory secondary students will have fully applied technology that supports deep learning. Applicable use oftechnology will sustain our instructional approaches that include project-based learning. Within all grade 9-12 classrooms will be a one-to-one technology implementation ratio. With access to web-enabled devices, all students will take ownership and control of their learning as teachers are no longer the only essential source for attaining knowledge. Teachers become facilitators of learning experiences. A proprietary web-based system will unify students' learning experiences, enabling them to share projects online, collaborate, communicate, research, and create new knowledge. With this learning platform, our schools are literally and figuratively networked together to share learning, successful projects, resources, and best practices with 18 of 461 STEM schools around the nation. The system will provide a structure for teachers to confidently manage a new approach to learning, transforming themselves into project-based coaches. All PBL; s will be tied to the college readiness standards and the TEKS that are most highly prioritized by business and community leaders, as well as most often assessed on STAAR and STAAR-EOC. Although the College and Career Readiness Standards are organized into the four core content areas, projects will be used to connect the content. This will enable students to make critical connections and real-life associations between the content areas. Project-based Learning assessments will be measured through the use of rubrics and other qualitative measurements as designed by teachers, faculty, students, and the community. 21 ST Century Skills and College Readiness: iWin Preparatory believes that our students must be exposed to the notion of being college bound as early and as often as possible. Going to college must be engrained as a real and achievable opportunity. Our students will graduate with the genuine conviction that a post-secondary education is just the next step; the rule not the exception. 21 st century skills will be integrated all the way through our curriculum, which will include cross-curricular project-based and college equipped skills. The Texas College and Career Readiness Standards will be infused in all content areas so that our students are prepared to be college ready by the time our students enter high school. Implanted within our curriculum will be the Technology Application TEKS, introduced in kindergarten as required by TEA to ensure our students are technology literate learners. The iWin instructional philosophy is an appropriate match pairing with the framework of Partnership for 21 st Century Skills for grades K-12. Within the P21 framework are the following student outcomes and support systems: o o o o o o o o o Learning and Innovation Skills (4C's - Critical thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Creativity: Core Subjects 121 st Century Themes - English, Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Foreign languages, Civics, Govennnent, Economics, Arts, History and Geography. Standards and Assessments Curriculum and Instruction Professional Development Learning Environments Information, Media, and Technology Skills Life and Career Skills STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Model Students in grades K-6 will be part of a 'Model 21 ' type program to establish college-bound expectations as a core belief of students and parents. Model21 is a compilation of educational 190f461 ideas written by HelpCharters, a charter consulting company. This program creates a preparatory culture setting which guides the student toward a college prepared graduation. Students will be trained to become leaders in the 21 st century. Most of our anticipated students live in low economic conditions and do not have the aspirations of earning a college degree. Our learner's may not have a role model who has finished high school or continued their education beyond high school. Using a 'Model 21 ' approach, our students will be relentlessly exposed to post-secondary education as a real possibility and expectation. School personnel will persistently discuss, model, present them with activities and opportunities that will establish post-secondary education as part of their reality. Grades K-2 o o K-2 students will be afforded the opportunity to participate in a field trip to visit and tour a college campus. Students will compose papers on a regular bases that talk about their intentions of attending college. Grades 3-6 o o o o Students in grades 3-6 will also visit a college campus and listen to college students speak to them about obtaining their goals. Continue to write papers weekly, on their plans for attending college. Content and structure will be rigorous according to the grade level of the students. These writing activities will be geared toward the preparation of the 4th grade STAAR Writing assessment. Students will be involved in college-bound projects that align with the College Readiness Standards. After school tutoring will be provided that will center around being collegeready. Personal Graduation Plans will begin in grades 6th grade. Grades 7-8 o o o o o o Continuation of the coilege writing activities will continue for grades 7 and 8. 7th grade writing activities will be geared toward the preparation of the 7th grade STAAR Writing assessment. t h grade students will attend after school tutoring for STAAR Writing practice. Middle school students will take a minimum of one trip per semester to a college sponsoring their school. Personal Graduation Plans will continue for students in grades 7 and 8. Students in the middle grades will be prompted to take pre-AP classes that will prepare them for the more advanced dual credit courses that will be offered in high schooL In the summer months following a student's 7th or8th grade year, they will have the opportunity to participate in college camps with a partnering college. This will support a smoother transition into our high school. 20 of 461 o A display in the entrance will be created by students with their picture and something they bring or create to signify the college or university they propose to attend. Grades 9-12 o o o o o State Board of Education and commissioner approved courses and dual credit courses will offered online. A Web-based career guidance and planning opportunity will be utilized as students plan a course of action for their future. Dual credit classes that are in compliance with 19 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) 74.23 will begin in the 11th grade. Personal Graduation Plans will begin in grades 6 and continue through 1ih grade. Counselors will assist students in preparing college applications prior to graduation from high school. Students will submit applications to intended colleges or universities of their choice before graduation. Data Driven Decisions: With the understanding that data is the one tangible approach we have to base our decisions on, iWin Preparatory schools will use various types of data to measure student performance and drive instruction. Collecting, using and interpreting a variety of data continually throughout the year will be a common practice at iWin Preparatory. The goal ofiWin Preparatory is to become an outstanding learning institution with students scoring at Level III-Advanced Academic Performance on STAAR and STAAR-EOC, and at or above criterion on college entrance exams. Teachers will conduct data analysis within their Professional Learning Communities (PLC's). Professional dialogue and instructional decisions will be student centered and revolve around student assessment data, student work, lesson planning, and professional development. Fonnative assessment will be a continual piece of the instructional process, providing the information necessary to monitor and adjust teaching practices and learning. Various types of data will be gathered including, but not limited to, curriculum-based assessments, student grades in comparison to achievement on curriculum-based assessments, student and teacher attendance, discipline and student work. Students will be trained how to monitor and track their own progress and data, reflect on it, and set goals towards improving future performance. Each six weeks all teachers will review Personal Success Plans (PSP's) with students so they may monitor and improve their educational progress. Parental Involvement: iWin Preparatory recognizes how vitally important it is for parents to be involved in their child's education. We will strive to involve parents in a program where they can accumulate points for their involvement. They will be offered the opportunity to sign an agreement and participate in a program comparable to those developed by the existing, 'Recognized', Life Charter Schools. We 21 of 461 will encourage parents to involve themselfby partaking in different activities where they will be awarded points that will allow them to be recognized as an involved parent and lead to their child experiencing greater academic success. Involvement Activities Could Include: o o o o o o o o o Classroom observations Conferences with their child's teacher Participating in the development monitoring oftheir child's PSP Being a room parent Involvement in PTO activities Involvement in or attendance extracurricular activities or performances Participating in surveys and evaluations Serving on a committee Attending field trips By participating in these involvement activities, it is our belief that parents will come to an awareness, build capacity as a parent, become a member of our family, and be better equipped to partner in their child's education. This will lead to us being more effective as a school and parents being more effective in their role. This ultimately leads to the goal we all seek; student engagement at high rigorous levels and achieving the educational success they deserve. In the second Generation of the Correlates of Effective Schools, Larry Lezotte states, "The relationship between parents and the school must be an authentic partnership between the school and home." (1991). Commitments from parents to stay involved in their children's education will be a goal we seek for all of our families. Keeping with the tradition of high expectations for all stakeholders, parents will be encouraged to be intensely involved in a way that will lead to their child's success. These parental expectations will facilitate a culture of esteem and collaboration between the parents, teachers, students, and school. High Expectations: At iWin Preparatory, we will embrace high expectations and standards for our students as we hold them accountable for their educational outcomes. We hold fast to the research that posits high expectations for culturally, economically disadvantaged, and language diverse learners leads to greater academic success. iWin Preparatory will assemble teaching and learning characteristics around the Correlates of Effective Schools. As stated within the correlate of high expectations, iWin will be an institution that will assure learning for all, rather than being an institution for instruction (Lezotte, 1991). Along with this the time in school each week will be extended beyond the regular public school day. Students will also attend additional days of school based on funding allocations to reach the high standards set by the community and the school. Among the high expectations is the requirement that students produce products linked to the curriculum standards and project-based learning. Students will produce curriculum products 22 of 461 that will have authentic audiences, increasing the rigor and relevance significantly. When students are the source, presenters, and teachers of these products, their mastery of content increases dramatically. Between 1897-1938, John Dewey, an American educational reformer, consistently had a recurring theme throughout his writings, that "students thrive in an environment where they are allowed to experience and interact with the curriculum" and was of the belief that "all students should have the opportunity to take part in their own learning." (Dewy, 1916). We, as educators, are obligated and must create schools that prepare students for a globally high-tech world, while ensuring their creativity is expanded and allowed to be utilized. Character and Leadership: A culture will fostered within our school that emphasizes character and leadership through responsibility, respect, trust, and safety. Faculty and staff will model and teach the meaning of these words continually in order to embolden the students to handle any adverse situation they may encounter. Through a Behavioral Response to Intervention (RtI) model, campuses will assist students with the tools necessary to become exemplary students and citizens. All staff will be thoroughly trained and participate in an iWin Preparatory Student Support Team (SST) and will receive a Response to Intervention (RtI) Manual with Student Support Team instructions that includes academic and behavioral intervention toolkits. As staff members use and model responsibility, respect, and safety, students will be continually reminded what these characteristics look like in everyday life so by the time they enter high school they have had a multitude of examples as to what those words mean for their behavior. Students' behavior will be approached in a positive rather than negative manner by staff. iWin Preparatory will also rely on management strategies found in Conversation, Help, Activity, Movement, and Participation (CHAMPS) to be used in conjunction with our structured Response to Intervention (Rt!) program in order to encourage appropriate student behavior. Along with this, all staff will be trained using Capturing Kids Hearts methods that emphasize positive relationship building among administrators, faculty, and students. Implementation of these processes will provide for a positive learning environment that will ensure high performing schools and students who are successful academically. iWin Preparatory is dedicated to innovation within our schools which prepares students for college and career readiness. iWin will break the traditional educational settings to provide students with a relevant and rigorous atmosphere, where performance based learning activities are the key to excellence. With the advancement of technology; workplaces, career opportunities, homes, personal lives and educational settings will be ever changing. We are committed to being adaptable so that we can meet the needs of our students. With the foundation of setting high standards for all stakeholders involved, we will create a positive atmosphere and environment of dedication, commitment, and self-discipline that charts a new course of learning for students, families, the community, and the educational environment of our area. 23 of 461 b) Discuss the educational philosophy and pedagogy of the proposed school, as well as the innovations that will distinguish this school from other schools in the area where the school or schools would be located. iWin Preparatory is dedicated to the use of research-based instructional strategies with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), Texas College and Career Readiness Standards, and the Technology Application TEKS. Our cmriculum will be entrenched with these TEKS and Standards so as to ensure our students receive a rigorous education and are fully prepared for post-secondary success. th Early 20 century constructivists John Dewey and Johann Herbart held beliefs regarding how instruction should be delivered and students should learn. These beliefs can be tied to what is known as the 5E Model of Instruction (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate). During the 1930's and instructional model was developed based on Dewey's "complete act of thought". The instructional model included: sense a perplexing situation, clarify the problem, formulate a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, revise tests, and act on solutions. Herbart's instructional model begins with the students' prior knowledge and connections made to new learning which begins to slowly form concepts. Herbart believed that the best pedagogy allowed for students to create relationships to their experiences. Direct instruction is the next phase of Herbart's model, where the teacher systematically explains ideas that students would not be expected to discover on their own. According to Herbart, the best pedagogy allows students to discover relationships with their experiences. The next step involves direct instruction where the teacher methodically explains ideas that the student could not be expected to discover. Finally, the teacher provides opportunities for the student to demonstrate their understanding. Project Based Learning principles are aligned seamlessly to these educational models. All teachers at iWin Preparatory will receive training on and be expected to utilize the 5E Model of Instruction (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate) to deliver all content area of instruction to students. The 5E's represent the five stages of teaching and learning. They are as follows: Engage: The principle of Engaging students is to make connections and involve them, identifying the task peaking student interest and then getting them personally involved in the learning, while pre-assessing prior knowledge. During this stage students make connections between past and present learning experiences. The role of the teacher within the Explore phase is that of a facilitator and a coach. Explore: The rationale of exploring is to get the students involved in the learning where each student is given the chance to build their own understanding. Witlrin this stage, students will work together in teams, building a set of common experiences that prompts sharing and communicating. Inquiry-Based Instruction allows students to use self-designed and guided exploration techniques to form hypotheses, test their own predictions, and draw their own conclusions. By providing materials and guiding the students' focus, the teacher facilitates the learning. 24 of 461 Explain: Explaining is to provide an opportunity for students to communicate what they have learned thus far in the process and to discuss what it may mean. Students are encouraged by the teacher to explain their observations and findings in their own words. Dialogue and communication between peers and the teacher begins a reflective process necessary within this stage to bring the learning to a higher and more rigorous level. Elaborate: The intent of Elaboration is to allow students to use their knowledge and continue to explore its implications. Students make connections to other related topics and apply their understandings in new and unfamiliar situations to the world around them. Evaluate: The value of Evaluation serves as the on-going diagnostic tool that allows the teacher to determine if the students have attained understanding of concepts and knowledge. Throughout the instructional process evaluation and assessment will be perfonned in a continuing, on-going process. Teachers will utilize a variety of methods for evaluation, including but not limited to rubrics, observation, student interviews, portfolios, and project-based learning products. Students will demonstrate their understanding through journals, drawings, models, and perfonnance and project-based presentations. This instructional model will provide the foundation necessary to provide students with the ability to think critically and creatively to obtain the skills necessary to prepare them for college and career. Two-Way Dual Language: A two-way dual language program will be offered to students in grades K-S. Research has proven that two-way dual language programs offer the best opportunity for limited English proficient students to develop academically. Dr. Leo Gomez, Assistant Dean ofthe College of Education and Associate Professor in the BilinguallESL Multicultural Education Program at UT Pan American, Edinburg, Texas; states that ''two-way programs are our best attempt yet at providing equality of educational opportunity for limited English proficient CLEP) students through an educational process that validates and develops both languages." iWin Preparatory will respect and honor the home language of our Hispanic students. They will be encouraged to learn English in a relevant, meaningful, content-driven setting while English dominant students will be afforded the same opportunities, learning Spanish in the dual language setting. Parental Concerns: Parents may not be fully aware of the positive aspects of a two-way dual language program, especially if the parents value English acquisition and are not bilingual themselves. As a result, they could be tentative when as it pertains to developing their child's original language out of concern that it could impede with their English attainment. Research shows that dual language actually enhances the development of both languages. Studies indicate that the brain acquires additional brain tissue density in parts of brain that controls language, memory, and attention. Parents of iWin Preparatory will be fully infonned through parent meetings and training regarding the benefits of this program for their child. 25 of 461 New Tech Network Model: iWin Preparatory will initiate the New Tech Network model as early as 7th grade. Project/problem-based learning will be the foundation of our instructional model where learning is relative, authentic, and shared with others. Students will work together as a team on projects that require problem solving, collaboration, and communication. By making these connections in this way, students are engaged in the learning process in deeper more meaningful ways. This engagement is linked to more rigorous learning and student growth. Students at iWin Preparatory will develop unions and relationships with community members and local businesses that will support them as they experience meaningful and real-world experiences as they seek answers and results for their projects. The effective use oftechnology is key the in support of the New Tech instructional modeL Students in grades 9-12 will be taught and have use of one-to one technology. With access to internet capable devices and the most up to date educational technology, all students have the opportunity to be in control of and take ownership of their learning as teachers are no longer the only essential source for attaining knowledge. The use of an online learning management system will create a vibrant network which allows students, teachers, and parents to work in concert with as they collaborate with one another and with potentially anyone around the world. All of this merged with teachers who integrate, into the daily curriculum, the Texas Technology Application TEKS will ensure technology literate learners. The New Tech Network supports a culture that fosters trust, respect, and responsibility. This will enable students and teachers alike to take an in-depth ownership of the learning outcomes and their schooL As they complete projects with their teams, students are responsible to their partners and develop a since of responsibility comparable to that found in a professional work environment The New Tech approach is research based and continues to bring success at schools across the nation. New Tech students are performing at a higher level than their peers in most if not all areas. Results on Reading and Science achievement, college acceptance rates, graduation rates and behavioral indicators point to strong performance levels among many New Tech schools. With this, all applying to a two-year college were accepted. The New Tech approach will lead our students to become exceptional learners because they are taught and assessed on the proficiencies they must develop to be successful in life and post-secondary opportunities. Dual Credit and College Readiness: iWin Preparatory will offer our students dual credit opportunities in grades 11 and 12. The school will seek to collaborate with neighboring universities and colleges in this endeavor. The offering of these tuition free courses for college credit will provide motivation for our students to accelerate their education. Successfully completed college coursework is a persuasive indicator that a student is college ready. Already having college hours by the time they graduate from high school prepares our students all the more for post-secondary education. 26of461 Implementation of college and career readiness standards in high school allows students to begin their post-secondary education without having to take remedial courses. Students and families will also benefit financially as the cost of a post-secondary education can be greatly reduced. Because IWin Preparatory will operate on an innovative schedule that will provide students more academic time and diverse learning opportunities, we are able to offer two elements that establish important components of our schools. The SpanishiEnglish dual language curriculum and project-based learning that is based on the New Tech model is a unique combination that will motivate and engage students to stay in school, graduate, and attain post-secondary success. Our curriculum will include college readiness components and activities that will begin in kindergarten and develop through 12th grade with accrued college credit. A college readiness and college-bound environment will be stressed in all aspects of our schools at all times. iWin Preparatory students will graduate with a strong foundation of content knowledge and problem solving skills that will prove them ready and capable of succeeding in entry level college courses. Our students will have developed self-management abilities and the social skills necessary for a student to excel at the college level. iWin Preparatory will strive to guarantee students not only have the academic foundation, but also have the mental and social skills required to be successful in the post-secondary system. Our curricuhun will include the cross-curricular instruction they need to obtain a higher degree. Another focal point of our schools will be the use of AVID type strategies. Advancement Via Individual Detennination (AVID) is intended to give the needed support to students who may have parents who did not attended college or even finish high school. These strategies help students, especially those on the academic bubble. These methods are designed for minority and low-income students and students who would be the first in their families to attend a postsecondary institution. These approaches serve to reinforce students by teaching them learning and self-management skills, prompt them to take more demanding and classes, offering the skills they must possess to be successful in college. The model is based on the belief that through high expectations and backing is extended to these students; they will find a way to be successful. Research supports that using AVID type strategies add to the numbers of students that graduate high school and are college ready. Watt, Huerta, and Lozano (2007). Students trained with AVID style strategies were more likely to receive a post-secondary education; in 2008, 87% of students taught using this model applied to a college or university and 78% of those were accepted. In research conducted by Guthrie and Guthrie (2000), most of the AVID trained students were on schedule to earn their degree in four of five years. AVID strategies are designed to close achievement gaps and prepare students for an ever changing society. Our goal is to prompt our students to consider college as a real and attainable goal. iWin preparatory will endeavor to engrain being college bound as an attribute all our students will possess from day one. Personal Success Plans (PSP's): Personal Success Plans will facilitate students taking ownership of their learning. Plans will be developed by teachers, students, and parents. The purpose of these plans will be to design, 27 of 461 provide check points, oversee, and assess every student's personal accomplishments' by ascertaining the student's needs and highlighting their interests and talents so that activities and interventions can be developed to concentrate on these areas. iWin Preparatory will assist students and parents in creating a unique portfolio type plan that will include educational accomplishments, accumulated assessment data, products produced from projects, career and college interests, and student work samples. Teachers, students, and parents will collaborate to set yearly goals based on the student's input and interests. These goals will be checked regularly and progress will be reported on by the student in a conference with the teacher and parent(s). Goals may be updated and altered as is necessary. Parents will be prompted and encouraged to attend one of these PSP conferences each semester during a designated time. We hold that these PSP' s are an empowering means for students and parents to take control of their education as they will be offered choices and given a voice in the educational outcomes for the student. They will also provide an avenue for parents to truly partner with the school and their child's teacher as build those critical relationships. Teachers will utilize the iWin Student Support Team (SST) and Response to Intervention (RtI) Manual, if necessary, to access the academic intervention toolkit, to modifY PSP's as necessary. The plans will provide focus as students can take pride of accomplishments and develop goal setting skills. Professional Learning Communities: While the professional Learning Community (PLC) is not a new concept in the educational world, the definition of what makes an effective PLC is always evolving. iWin Preparatory teachers will make use ofPLC's that are structured around subject area, grade level, specific students and our administration will make PLC meetings a priority during the school day. Teachers will be provided the time necessary to be a part of the PLC. At iWin Preparatory, administrators will attend PLC's to assist teachers with the planning process, conduct data talks with teachers, and discuss f011llative assessments. Research demonstrates that students benefit when teachers collaborate on defining learning goals, creating formative assessments, and structuring intervention and re-teaching opportunities. In Particular, Richard Dufour's Schools as Learning Communities (Education Leadership, 2004) provided guidance for implementing effective PLC's, Dufour wrote, "To create a professional learning community, focus on learning rather than teaching, work collaboratively, and hold yourself accountable for results." Through this type of teacher collaboration, student achievement will be positively affected, as the team of educators will be results-driven with student learning as the priority. Extended Learning Time: Each school year will be extended and the addition of more days to the school calendar will be incorporated into our charter school. The school day will be from 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on Monday through Thursday, and 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. on Friday. Summer programs will be 28 of 461 available for all students who need further interventions to ensure their success, if the budget allows or additional state funding is available. However, it is the intent and expectation of iWin Preparatory that a small number of students will fInd it necessary to attend because they are not demonstrating at or above grade level success. The extended learning time is not only beneficial to students by fast-tracking instructional opportunities and providing needed interventions, but in addition affords crucial opportunities for students to connect their learning to relevant past and yet to come learning experiences. Extended learning time also makes possible more in-depth and rigorous learning on assigned projects. In accordance with the extended learning time, an Early Start Program will be extended to students in middle and high school grades before the start of each school (pending funding). This model will allow students to be exposed to the more difficult concepts in the core subject areas. Thus, reinforcing and building on their educational foundation. It also makes available additional intervention time for struggling students. c) Provide three to five core values or beliefs, with succinct explanations, to guide the operation of the proposed school. o Building relationships with students, families, and Community: o o Personal Success Plans for all students (k-12) Parent and Community Involvement Program iWin Preparatory believes the charge for securing productive and fulfilling lives for all students rests not only in the hands of the schools, but through a profound partnership between the school, parents, and community. We believe valuable results ofa rich parental and community involvement program that cultivates ownership from all stakeholders include: Superior student achievement, higher attendance rates, fewer discipline issues, increase in graduation rates, a decline in number students who drop-out, fewer teen pregnancies, and a greater array of post-secondary opportunities for students. Likewise, parents who involve themselves in their child's education through participation programs are more skilled to supply support their child and their educational needs. Commitments from parents to stay involved in their children's education in the Parents as Partners Program will be a goal we seek for all of our families. A point system will be instituted for parents to earn points by observing in their child's classroom and participating and attending in each semester's student, teacher, and parent conferences to review their child's Personal Success Plan (PSP) progress for the year. Keeping with the tradition of high expectations for all stakeholders, parents will be encouraged to attend seminars, parent academies, college flIed trips, and volunteer opportunities on campuses will be anticipated of all parents. These parental expectations will help to create a culture of respect and collaboration between the parents, teachers, students, and school as a whole. Community involvement programs connect resources that enrich communities and provide support for all students, their families, and the schools. iWin Preparatory realizes our community 29 of 461 is fertile with volunteers and organizations that have the capacity and desire to be involved with and support the education of our students and their families. Through these programs, we expect all students will have available the foundations and resources they will require to graduate fully prepared for a successful post-secondary education and the skills necessary to succeed in the life they choose. o Relevance/Connections: o New Tech Model Project-Based Learning o Instructional Technology for Student Use (One-to One Implementation) o Hands-On Engaging Instruction iWin Preparatory believes in order for students to achieve beyond current levels of expectations and standards their education must be relevant and make connections in meaningful approaches. We consider project-based learning to be the instructional approach that provides this. Projectbased learning is an instructional paradigm that offers students the best opportunity to participate in genuine learning experiences that foster engagement by drawing from their interests and motivation. Students will be involved in exploring and examining captivating challenges that require them to collaborate as they fill active roles in the process, problem solve, and produce products. They will be asked to solve real-world problems. Through this instructional approach, students will develop communication and presentation skills, self-management skills, research and problem solving skills, learn to reflect and assess their efforts and products, and acquire collaboration skills as they master and apply the required content knowledge. These 21 st Century Skills, along with the integrated use of technology, will benefit our students as they prepare for post-secondary education and prepare for 21 st Century jobs. Project/problem-based learning will be the foundation of our instructional model. PBL integrates technology and inquiry based learning to engage students with issues and questions that are relevant to their lives. Within our classrooms, teachers will design rigorous projects aligned to state and district standards customizing them to their environment and the interests of the students. Students will work in teams to acquire and apply knowledge and skills to solve problems. iWin Preparatory's approach to PBL fundamentally changes the role of both the teacher and student. Instead of the traditional one instructor to many students, teachers will actually serve as facilitators and coaches to guide students to take charge of their own learning, invent their own solutions, and develop self-management techniques. Deep investment in this process along with ongoing training and supports will ensure all teachers can become effective in this transformative approach to learning. Students will become active learners and doers who take responsibility to complete projects. Ultimately, students will develop the tools to handle long, complex tasks while learning to manage and organize their time. Working in teams to create products such as presentations, designs, plays, short stories, and prototypes are just a sampling of activities students will participate in at iWin Preparatory. As a result, students will acquire not only subject-matter knowledge, but also gain the skills needed to thrive in college, career, and life. 30 of 461 iWin Preparatory's culture will empower students and teachers. Trust, respect and responsibility will be the hallmarks of the culture. At our school, students and teachers, alike, will have incomparable oV\lIlership of school administration and the learning experience as a whole. Students will acquire a level of responsibility comparable to what they would undergo in a realworld work environment Working on projects and in teams, students will be accountable to their peers, while taking individual responsibility to get the work done. In this trusted, respectful environment, students will decide how to allocate their time, team roles, and how to collaborate with their peers. Students will also have a voice in campus leadership and policy. Campus administrators will form student advisory committees to gain input from student leaders. In addition to helping set school administrations and policy, students will have flexibility to customize classrooms and projects to meet their individual needs. iWin Preparatory secondary students will have fully applied technology that supports deep learning. Effective use of technology supports our instructional model and school wide culture. iWin Preparatory posits One-to-one technology integration for our students will lead to greater student engagement. Engaged students will lead to increased student performance and mastery of expected content, improved attendance and behavior, foster collaboration, and accelerated development of21 st Century skills. One-to-one computing also accommodates and is a vital component of our project-based learning model. Within all grade 9-12 classrooms will be a one-to-one technology implementation ratio. With access to web-enabled computers, every student becomes a self-directed learner who no longer needs to rely primarily on teachers or textbooks for knowledge and direction. A proprietary web-based system will unify students' learning experiences, enabling them to share projects online, collaborate, communicate, research, and create new knowledge. With the learning platfonn, our schools are literally and figuratively networked together to share learning, successful projects, resources, and best practices with our STEM schools around the nation. The system will provide a structure for teachers to confidently manage a new approach to learning, transforming themselves into project-based coaches. o College Ready Environment and Expectations for all Students: o Framework for 21 st Century Learning o College Preparatory Environment (K-12) o Dual Credit Program (11-12) iWin Preparatory believes it is vitally important our students are college ready. We must address the needs of the students in our community by giving them the skills they need to be successful in college. We feel students who graduate high school having met the College Readiness Standards have proven they are more likely to stay in college and acquire a degree. This includes mastery of content knowledge as well as behaviors necessary to thrive in the college setting. This involves a mindset of high expectations and rigorous instruction that leads to well-rounded academically prepared students. We will challenge our students to problem solve, reflect critically, have the ability to adapt, and be great commUnicators. 31 of 461 It is our belief that it is never too early to begin thinking about college for iWin Preparatory students. 21 st century skills will be integrated throughout our curriculum, which will include interdisciplinary, project-based, culturally responsive and college ready skills. The Texas College and Career Readiness Standards will be instilled in all content and elective areas in order to prepare and guarantee college readiness by the time our students enter high school. From day one students in grades K-5 will be part of a program to create a "college going culture" in the hearts and minds of students and parents. High expectations of the college and career readiness standards will be woven through the curriculum to create college-bound students. For that reason, a college-ready, character, leadership, and service component is evident throughout all aspects of iWin Preparatory from Kindergarten to graduation. Students will be trained to become leaders in the 21 st century. Using this approach, our students will be constantly inundated in the world of college. iWin Preparatory will also offer dual credit opportunities to students in grades 11 and 12. We will seek to collaborate with our neighboring universities and colleges in this endeavor. o Rigor and High Expectations o Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (K.-12) o College and Career Readiness Standards (K-12) o Texas Technology Application Standards (K-12) o Transparent Communication of Student/Campus Performance iWin Preparatory believes rigor and high expectations to be the unyielding foundation that will drive our actions as we consider every students' needs. We truly embrace the concept that students will rise to the level of expectations they are held to and there can be no separation between the rigor of instruction we provide and our high expectations. Having high expectations must not just be the words our students hear, but must be evident in our every action. We are determined to go to every length to ensure what we say and do are in alignment. We maintain that preparing every student to graduate is not enough. iWin Preparatory is committed to prepare our students to attend and achieve at our nation's top colleges and universities. We will set high expectations on ourselves and hold ourselves accountable to these standards and goals. Attaining these goals will serve as our' criteria as we assess performance for every student as well as teachers and administrators. Teachers will be responsible for student mastery of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills TEKS) strands at each grade level established by the state of Texas and contained in the Texas Administrative Code, Title 19, Chapter 74 as the foundation for the school's academic program. The TEKS will be incorporated in each grade level and throughout the daily curriculum. The Texas College Readiness Standards and the Texas Technology Application TEKS will be embedded into the curriculum at each grade level as well. The English Language Proficiency Skills (ELPS) will also be embedded for English Language Learners. iWin Preparatory will provide all required components of the state curriculum for elementary and secondary grades. We will strive to implement a rigorous curriculum by providing a data-driven, research-based pacing for teaching the TEKS and Student Expectations as we align all instruction and assessment to the depth and complexity of the STAAR and STAAR EOC in all content areas. 32 of 461 d) List business and fiscal risk factors, with brief explanations, that could jeopardize the viability of the proposed school. Also, list success factors, again with brief explanations, that the sponsoring entity believes outweigh the risks. Risk Factors (1) TISD's lack of performance in outcome testing would infer that the student population would be delayed in grade-level knowledge. A charter school attracts a higher percentage of minority population and at-risk students who may not be performing well at a previous school, so the iWin Prep would risk being responsible to offer remedial instruction for as many as 50% of the new student population. (2) The remedial instruction and a 150% higher rate of poverty population than the state average may increase the per student cost of educational expense. In 2008, the State of Texas poverty level rate was 15.8%, and Terrell's poverty level rate was 22% in 2009. The incidence of poverty has almost doubled in Terrell while increasing 50% in Texas. Terrell Poverty Level 31.6% in 2009 Texas Poverty Level 22. 7% in 2009 [Resource: http://www.city-data.com/poverty/poverty-Terrell-Texas.html] (3) Terrell ISD receives both the Texas Permanent School Fund allotment and also local taxes and bond funding. The average Texas charter school operates on $1,500 less per student, because the local ISD continues to receive the transferring student's portion oflocal taxlbond funds. The charter school only receives the Texas PSF payment, which follows the student whether transferring to another ISD or to a public charter. The charter school will teach the same Kaufman county student for 25+/-% less funding than the local ISD. The charter school must operate more efficiently and creatively to make the budget work. The risk assumed from the local ISD is to do a better job with less funding. Success factors, with brief explanations, that the proposed school founders have analyzed and determined will outweigh the risks. (1) Many of the experienced and dedicated administrators and staffhave been recruited, and they are enthusiastically ready to address the challenge. Personnel have been found that feel they are already meeting similar challenges at other public schools under the duress of bureaucratic restraints. They believe that their educational vision can be fulfilled at iWin because of two factors: (1) accepting the educational challenge bolstered by (2) the assurance that Texas Charter law allows them to fulfill their academic dreams of teaching unfettered without the hindrances of bureaucratic and political restraints. The iWin team is confident of conquering the challenge in Kaufinan County, and their experiences have already demonstrated their ability to do a difficult job in tough circumstances. (2) Several of the founders have experience in teaching in urban ISDs. Others are experienc~d in providing social services and working with at-risk and minority populations. The mission and vision is driven by the demonstrated need of the Terrell area, and the knowledge and skills to teach the Kaufinan County student population 33 of 461 of over 1,000 (refer to Section 3: Community Section) already signed up with intention to attend iWin Prep if a charter is granted. (3) Money follows success. The state and federal money is less than what other ISDs must have to operate. Our leadership's business acumen and the experienced founding stakeholders of iWin have successfully operated businesses and start-up companies with limited funds. Over $140,000 has been pledged by stakeholders through monthly contributions during the first year of operations (refer to Attachment M and N for specific amounts). Stakeholders have been feeding breakfast to scores of children and teens M-F before school in downtown Terrell and also a meal on Wednesday evenings, and funding has been sufficient to maintain feeding the at-risk student population (some may be attending iWin next year?). The leadership ofiWin and the Board of Directors lmow how to be innovative, creative and fiscally smart to spend funds carefully and efficiently. iWin Prep has created a start-up budget and the operating budgets to reflect the reality of the task ahead. An experienced fmancial specialist for public ISDs and charter schools assisted in creating the iWin budget that is frugal; yet, provides staffing and the necessary instructional materials, equipment and furnishings needed for a successful educational process. Personnel are recruited and will be hired after the charter grant at similar rates as surrounding public schools pay. Sufficient funding is allocated for the budget to operate the start-up school in "black ink" territory the fIrst year. The students will be well taught and well trained at iWinPrep. Greater prosperity is expected for the second year; a successful community college grant writer is on the team, and several experienced founders have also been successful in obtaining grants, corporate funding, community partnerships with in-kind support, and stakeholder contributions. A national charter-funding corporation has noted the circumscribed iWin service area as extremely lacking in social and educational resources. Representatives from the nationally known charter school fund sent representatives three months ago to offer fimding assistance if the charter is granted. 34 of 461 Section 3: Community Support 35 of 461 3. Community Support a) Describe the community where the school will be located and explain why this location was selected. Include the types o/resources available in the community. Terrell, Texas is a community east of Dallas on Highway 80 in Kaufman County with a population of 15,903 in 20 11. It is an historical city with a record of service to the State of Texas as the location of the hospital caring for many Texas citizens suffering from mental illness. The challenging and rigorous responsibilities of care for the mentally ill have been an influence that has strengthened the resolve of the leadership of the city to confront difficult challenges and conquer them. Today, the Terrell and Kaufman County populace face the challenge of educating a diverse public school population and preparing the]1l for the 21 st Century. There are many determined and committed citizens of Kaufman County who are willing to make the sacrifices and do the hard work to offer an additional opportunity for a new model of public schools: a Texas Public Charter School is proposed to serve Terrell, Kaufman County, and contiguous counties. The at-risk population, the ELLIESL student population and the academically underperforming student will be given a choice to attend a public school which is different from the ones now available. About 1,000 Kaufman County residents and stakeholders have joined together to petition the State Board of Education to grant the iWin Foundation a public school charter to serve Terrell, Kaufman County and other ISD contiguous districts. The StakeholderslFounders of iWin Foundation propose to provide Excellence in Education for the students who are presently failing to fulfill their potential in the school they now attend. iWin, through careful research, will employ Best Practices in the delivery of education to the ethnic ESLIELL populations and the at-risk majority population of the locale, the local lSD's population and the surrounding County districts. iWin Prep pledges to help parents to help their students succeed. The iWin Stakeholders are already engaged in clothing, feeding and counseling of youth in Terrell through daily before-school breakfasts (M-F) and Wednesday dinners for the youth at both a downtown Terrell building and the new gymnasium of the proposed location of the iWin charter school. The compassionate concern and service of the core 36 of 461 iWin Stakeholders have built strong community connections over the last three years. The positive support of the enthusiastic parent/student enrollment respondents indicate the depth of the trust and hope the community has in the iWin stakeholders. IWIN PREP is to be located in Kaufman County. Several serious issues plague the educational system in Terrell and Kaufman County (and surrOlUlding counties). The statistics indicate the area that iWin desires to serve is economically disadvantaged, has a high percentage of English language challenged students, and underperfomring public schools. The three situations are a "Molotov Cocktail" of explosive social disruption. Social issues such as crime, teen pregnancies, truancy, and low perfomring schools are widely recognized and hotly discussed in the public forum and local media. Not as well known, but even more important are the reports in the 2011 Texas Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) for Terrell ISD. Low college readiness, below standard academic perfonnance, low commended performance percentages, and reduced available state funding are hindering our students' academic success. These same problems are also present and readily evident in the surrounding ISDs. With area students scoring well below both the Region and the State Percentages on ACT and SAT, there is an urgent need to provide a robust curriculum and educational programs engineered to enabling Terrell and Kaufman County students to achieve college readiness. iWin Preparatory sponsors will offer families of high-need, at-risk students the hope that their student will achieve a college ready education.. Students will be able to participate in smaller middle and high school classes with a good learning environment, including a safe and peaceful classroom. Hands-on technology and Hi-Tech proficiency will enable the iWin graduate to step into higher education with the tools to succeed on the College Campus. College readiness standards will be woven into all curriculum areas throughout grades K-12. A mentoring system will be put in place to ensure and enhance the academic achievement of at-risk students. In a full assault on the inadequacies present in our current educational efforts, iWin will increase performance standards and provide college readiness for our graduating students. Individual education plans and a focus on project-based learning will keep the students focused on learning projects. The 37 of 461 inclusion of a vertical alignment curriculum taught by excellent teachers year after year beginning in kindergarten, will incrementally grow the character, the confident leadership, and the academic preparedness of each scholar. All factors of iWin's educational process will contribute to the personhood of an iWin graduate. Our Student scholars will graduate ready for Life! Terrell lSD, currently, has four Academically Unacceptable campuses serving students in grades 3-6, 7-8, and 9-12. According to the 2010-11 Accountability Data tables and Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) reports, Terrell High School, which serves grades 9-12, is Academically Unacceptable for African American mathematics at 57% and Economically Disadvantage mathematics at 63% of the students meeting standard. Hennan Furlough Jr., Middle School, which serves grades 7 and 8, is Academically Unacceptable for African American mathematics at 63% and African American science at 53% of the students meeting standard. Dr. Bruce Wood Elementary School, which serves grades 3-6, is Academically Unacceptable for African American writing at 61% of the students meeting standard and Hispanic science with 59% of the students meeting standard. In the area of science, 57% of the African American student group met standard, however this group did not affect the campus accountability due to only 21 students being tested. J.W. Long Elementary, which also serves grades 3-6, is Academically Unacceptable in the area of African American science with 50% of the students meeting the standard. Overall, the Terrell ISD is rated Academically Acceptable because of an exception for African American science. Only 57% of the students of TISD met standard requirements in science. Although scores for Terrell ISD saw slight increases from 2010 to 2011, significant gains were not achieved in any student popUlation area. Basically, standardized test scores are stagnant with little sign of improvement in academic perfonnance. Parents play a vital role in deciding the effectiveness and success of a school. Since parents, obviously, have a choice of whether to continue emollment of their student(s) in iWin Preparatory or return to their geographically assigned public school campus, parental input will be continually be sought throughout the year. Astute use of 38 of 461 surveys and parent-led site-based decision-making meetings will it:nprove student learning opportunities as well as parental cooperation ... rather than the all-to-frequent parental hostility. A model teaching and learning environment will be provided to students through the use of innovative techniques and accountability for all stakeholders to constantly increase student performance and academic achievement. By addressing the critical need and demand for an alternative to the current public school systems, students in the area will be taken to the next level of educational excellence through this exceptional charter school model. When iWin Preparatory provides and opens 11th and 12th grade enrollment within six years after charter approval, the school board intends to provide dual credit for our juniors and seniors upon the signing of an agreement with a local community college. The school board has not received a commitment from a local community college, but over a six-year period, leadership intends to build a strong relationship to move towards a dual credit partnership. Many charters throughout Texas have benefitted from cooperation with Jr. Colleges and universities in their respective areas. President Obama recently praised efforts to provide advanced placement and college credit for high school students in settings across the country. Terrell has a large proportion of its population dwelling in the city's apartment complexes. Single parent households, and low-income families form a large segment of Terrell's population. The apartments, full of parents needing the extended day and before and after school care (iWin Before and After Care Program company TBD pending charter approval) opportunities at iWin Prep, will draw many underserved students to the charter school. Marketing and recruitment efforts will focus on the apartment community, other underserved population groups throughout the city, as well as the low-income housing projects. iWin Prep will continue to reach out to the City of Terrell and the Terrell Housing Authority, and LULAC National Educational Services Centers. These civic and business organizations will assist low-income families to become aware of the excellent education iWin Prep will provide to lift their children to a higher level of societal 390f461 awareness, which leads to success. These organizations have been informed of the vision of iWin Prep, and School Founders look forward to working closely with them in the future. Our partnerships will provide a great education to the students of Terrell. The types of resources that are available to community are outlined in letter c) below. b) Briefly analyze the competition in the area/or the same students. Describe the methods that the proposed school will use to recruit and retain students. Competition #1: Private Schools: No one can afford it and there is only one private school serving 1st through 3rd grade. According to greatschools.com (refer to map in Section 10 prompt "a") there is one private school located in Terrell. According to the website, the only private school (not counting preschool) in Terrell is Good Shepard Episcopal School where 96% of their student population is white. The children of Terrell need iWin Preparatory. They need a choice. There should be more than one choice. Competition #2: Charter School Competition: None There are no charter schools in Terrell. The closest college preparatory school identified by Texas Charter School Association on their website is 22.2 miles away (Legacy Preparatory Academies - see Section 10 prompt "a"). The parents of Terrell have signed up 1,115 certified students to enroll in iWin Preparatory. Competition #3: Public Schools: Students should have a choice where they attend schooL As stated in Section 1: Statement of Need: Our sponsoring entity proposes to establish iWin Preparatory Academies in the Terrell and Kaufman County region. We will address and provide evidence below which will indicate a need to solve present and future issues surrounding the education provided by the Terrell Independent School District and Kaufman County schools. These needs include, but are not limited to, below average performance reported in the 2012 Texas Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) reports for Terrell lSD, low college readiness statistics for Terrell lSD, low commended 40 of 461 performance percentages for Terrell lSD, at-risk and economically disadvantaged statistics, teen pregnancy and drug related issues that are hindering our students from academic success.

These four campuses provided education for 2,889 ofthe district's 4,115 students. According to the 2010-2011 Accountability Data tables and AEIS reports, Terrell High School is Academically Unacceptable for African American students in Mathematics at 57% meeting standard and Economically 41of461 Disadvantaged students in Mathematics at 63 % meeting standard. Hennan Furlough Jr. Middle School is Academically Unacceptable for African American students meeting standard in Mathematics at 63% and in Science at 53%. Dr. Bruce Wood Elementary School is rated Academically Unacceptable for African American students in Writing at 61 % and Hispanic Students in Science with 59% of the students meeting the standard. In Science, only 57% of the African American students met the standard. However this group did not affect the campus rating because only 21 students were available to be tested. J. W.

They are making every effort to improve the performance of the students they serve. However, iWin Preparatory could offer an alternative and the children of Terrell would then have a choice between Texas Public Schools and not be required to attend Academically Unacceptable schools. iWin will be a small school with a culture that cultivates students to commitment and strong character. This strong culture will develop sturdy relationships between the staff and the families of our students. Students will be drawn to iWin for these reasons and will continue to return year after year. c) Provide information on the manner in which community groups have been involved and will continue to be involved in the charter school planning process. Include descriptions of the community groups and of the services they will provide. The applicant must hold a public hearing in the proposed charter school's geographic area to publicly discuss the application for the charter school. This hearing must take place no earlier than 18 months before the charter application due date. Any person may be present at and partiCipate in the meeting. The applicant shall publish a notice ofthe meeting in a newspaper ofgeneral distribution in the geographic area proposedfor the school. Publication in electronic media may not take the place ofpublication in a newspaper ofgeneral distribution, but may be done in addition to publication in a traditional newspaper. 43 of 461 A true grass roots movement, driven by the needs of the community, initiated IWIN PREP's charter application. These concerned citizens brought the concept to educational leaders and others in the community who possessed credibility and expertise in the educational arena The board entity engaged Oasis Marketing of Houston to perfonn a certified telephone survey (certified letter and survey results chart below) of our community, who out sought the input of parents who have children who could actually and desired to attend a tuition free school in Terrell. Twenty-three percent of the people called answered the City of Terrell Charter School phone survey. Those respondents who voluntarily participated in the certified phone survey were asked this question: Q2 - o Do you support the right and back our local community group to start a free public school in Terrell as allowed by State law? A total of 136 parents participated, with a total of 98% of them answering "YES" to Question 2 above. Q3 - How many children would you enroll? From the survey alone, parents answered saying that if they could enroll their child today, they would enroll 163 children. The total of 163 is a separate number from the 952 students that were counted as part of the community petitions signed by parents and students. 44 of 461 If you add the 163 students parents would enroll from the phone survey and the 952 students from the petitions signed, that gives you 1,115 certified students to enroll in iWin Preparatory. A diverse and wide range of opinions and infonnation was obtained that reflects the community we serve. Unlike some charter school initiatives, As the Task Force Team sought input from a broad base of community members and groups to plan and direct the deVelopment of the school, they have encountered extremely affinnative support and encouragement for this local initiative . .r.anuarv 21,2013 Oasls Mari:etifl,g SoltJimns eondl.lcteda fifty (SO) outbound telernarketl~projel;t. as~~& caUet:s to pilrtldpate :in a suro.-ey regarlilng a free poblit dlaIt..ar ~ The reporting provn;lea ~ a result of our (;j;tr~ efforts and the manner in wl-Jtb res"idems fe$ponded was r<~ta analysis, Professional Learning Communities, Response to Intervention, th~ pana Center professional development site, the Effective Schools Correlates, ProjJdt-Based Learning, STEM, AVID and Pre-AP training.

STAAR and the Stanford 10 will be compiled in the IEP and reviewed by the student, parent, and teacher for program and students improvement decisions. Other performance measures to assess reading methods for student growth include student projects, exhibits, and reading portfolios, including logs of reading time. Writing and Spelling: Methods used to measure success will include portfolio assessments of writing assignments, benchmark writing assessments to include writing prompts and compositions, required yearly content and career projects, essay and poetry contests, and exhibits. Why this level of writing: When students' work has an authentic audience and is on public display, the rigor and relevance of written work rises to higher levels of performance. STAAR WritinglELA tests and benchmarks assessments will be analyzed for each student and results incorporated into the students' IEP. Any areas that need targeted assistance will be addressed in the student's improvement plan and incorporated into projects and assignments throughout the year. The goal for all students at iWin Preparatory is to attain a "4" on their written composition and Commended Performance on the WritinglELA STAAR assessment. Goal 2: Mathematics 2-a.

Areas of need will be identified based on student ratings and these needs will be addressed in each student's Individual Education Plan (IEP) as well as in the LPAC minutes. Limited English Proficient students will meet all other goals and will be assessed using the same measurements as all students. Special attention must be paid to this group of students, since they not only respond well to early language acquisition intervention, but also because their student group is also an indicator in the A YP, AEIS, and PBMAS accountability systems.

(This IEP is not to be confused with the iWin IEP, which will be developed by all students including special education students, as a way of goal-setting and assessing themselves each semester.) The ARD committee will determine assessments that cannot be modified. Special attention must be paid to this group of students, since they not only respond well to early instructional interventions, but also because their student group is also an indicator in the A YP, AEIS, and PBMAS accountability systems. Please note: Special education students cannot have placements, plans, or anticipated outcomes that are predetermined. They must only have plans established by the ARD committee. iWin Preparatory will offer a full continuum of special education services in a co-teacher model with certified special education teachers.

Staff attendance will model for students what is expectedl of them. Staff attendance incentives will encourage and motivate high attendan~e. Staff incentives such as the principal teaching your last class, or a specially designedl"relaxation day "with special treats for staff during the off period or break times will ensure high morale among all staff members. I While it is expected that students attendance will be extremely high at iWin Preparatory, it will be Iclosely monitored by the classroom teacher, PErMS coordinator, counselor, and principalJ Teachers will make the first contact when an attendance issue becomes evident. An adrnirllstrator or counselor will intervene if the problem is not resolved after the teacher iJtervention. The purpose of the interventions will be to resolve whatever issues, other thath. illness that may be hampering school attendance. Records of all home visits and corre~pondence concerning attendance matters will be kept in the student's records. The iWinl Preparatory PErMS coordinator will monitor attendance twice a month and report an:r issues to school and district leadership.

Students will earn points each year towards their scholar award. These projects will support not only the project-based learning initiative, but also the College Readiness crossdisciplinary standards mentioned earlier. The key cognitive skills specify intellectual behaviors that are prevalent in entry-level college courses. These include intellectual curiosity, reasoning, problem solving, academic behaviors, work habits/study skills, and academic integrity. The foundational skills consist ofproficiencies students need to be able to transfer knowledge and apply it across the curriculum. These include reading, writing, conducting research, understanding, interpreting, using data, and using technology. Project-based learning, starting in the early grades, will allow the standards to be taught early and learned thoroughly by the students by the time they reach their high school, dual credit opportunities.

College and lUliversity cOlll1seling reports and the Annual Texas Success Initiative report of Student Performance-high School graduates Enrolled in Texas higher Education reports will be utilized to analyze college enrollment data. Special parent workshops will keep parents informed early in their child's high school career about scholarship opportunities and financial aid. The iWin Preparatory cOlll1selor will produce a monthly junior/senior newsletter, to be sent home with students, containing scholarship information. Language will not be a barrier as far as keeping parents educated and informed on college information, issues, and opportunities. Parent meetings will be translated as well as all written commlll1ication sent home to parents. Goal 14: Individualized Education Plan Goals 14-a.

If the charter elects to have a transfer policy, list the school districts from which the proposed charter school will accept transfer students. Do not list the charter schools located within the designated geographic boundary. The School will not admit transfer students for the Generation 18 application 5-year proposal. The iWin Foundation confirms and understands that adding a transfer boundary or any change to the primary boundary in the future will require the submission of a substantive amendment request that will be required to be approved by the commissioner of education prior to the charter making any changes. 143 of 461 Section 7: Admissions and Enrollment Policies 144 of 461 I I I 7. Admi~sionr and Enrollment Policies I, I I I ~pecify the period (both the beginning and ending dates) during a.J I wb:ich applications for admission will be accepted. TEe, ?12.117, requires th~t a c~arter school establish a reasonable application deadline for the su~mis~ion of applications for admission. The application period should not be ''yiar-r'ound'' or extendfor most of the year. The apPlic~tioj for admission to iWin Preparatory, Terrell, Texas will be available on the First wedJesddy in January, and the submission deadline will be the third Friday in April at 5 pm. ho) I I I i lescribe the proeedures to be followed in conducting a lottery when a I gr~de oir class is oversubscribed.

Waiting list students who fail to submit a signed letter of intent to enroll by the selected date results in a forfeiture of opportunity to enroll. c) If the charter school will exempt from the lottery returning students, the siblings of returning students, and/or the children of the school's founders and staff (so long as the total number of students allowed constitutes only a small percentage of the total enrollment) as permitted by the federal nonregulatory guidance on the charter school program, state the categories of applicants that will be exempted. Note that students who attended a private school before it became a public charter school are not to be considered "returning students" and may not be given priority in admission to the charter school. Also note that the federal guidance allows only the siblings of currently enrolled students and children of the founders and staff as long as it comprises only a small percentage of the enrollment. First opportunity for enrollment will be given to returning students. After the first year of operation, these students will be first enrolled in the schooL The next preference will be given to siblings of students already enrolled in the schooL For definition purposes, "siblingslT are two or more children that are related either by 1) birth, by means of the same father or mother, or by 2) legal adoption. d.) Specify the approximate date on which a lottery will be conducted if required. Should a lottery be required, the school will conduct the lottery during the second week of May. e.) State whether a waiting list will be developed for the applicants who were not admitted through the lottery. If a waiting list will be used, describe the process. A waiting list for applicants who were not admitted through the lottery will be maintained. The lottery results in each applicant receiving a number 1470f461 3 beginning at 1,2, 3, and continuing until all applicant labels have been pulled and read aloud. Once the number of applications selected in the lottery equals the number of available spaces for a grade, a waiting list is generated by continuing to assign numbers to the remaining applicants. This waiting list will be the only official, legal document identifying the names of eligible students who have applied to the school. When an opening arises, the next parent will be notified by phone and given 24 hours to accept the open desk. This process will repeat until all the slots have been filled. The waiting list will carry over through the entire school year. Failure to submit a signed letter of intent to enroll by that date results in forfeiture of opportunity to enrolL In the event seats become available, the school will attempt to contact waiting list students via phone, and if unable to do so will mail certified letters offering the opportunity to enroll by a selected date. Waiting list students who fail to submit a signed letter of intent to enroll by the selected date results in a forfeiture of opportunity to enroll. f.) If the school will accept applications that are submitted outside of the designated application period, describe how the school will treat such applications. Applications that are submitted outside of the designated application period , shall only be considered after the lottery is completed; g.) Provide the non-discrimination statement that will be included in the proposed school's admissions policy. TEe, ?12.111(a)(6) requires that a charter school's admissions policy include a statement that the school will not discriminate in admissions based on gender, national origin, ethnicity, religion, disability, academic ability, athletic ability or artistic ability or the district the child would otherwise attend. iWin Prep will include in its admission policy a statement that the school will not discriminate in admissions based on gender, national origin, ethnicity, religion, disability, academic ability, athletic ability, artistic ability or the district the child would normally attend. 148of461 4 h) If the proposed school will specialize in performing arts, discuss whether applicants will be required to demonstrate artistic ability for admission to the school. TEC~ ?12.111(a)(6) permits a charter school specializing in performing arts to have an admissions policy that requires a student to demonstrate artistic ability. In addition, TEC, ?12.1171 permits a charter school specializing in one or more performing arts to require an applicant to audition for admission to the school. 19 TAC, ?100.1207 has the administrative rules clarifying the statutory changes that allow a school specializing in performing arts to hold auditions. The school will not specialize in performing arts; therefore, this question is moot. i) State whether the school will exclude from admission students with documented histories of any of the types of misconduct listed in TEe, ?12.111 (6). TEe, ?12.111(a)(6) authorizes a charter school to exclude a student who has a documented history of a criminal offense, a juvenile court adjudication, or discipline problems under TEC Subchapter A, Chapter 37. Note that TEC, ?12.131 requires that the governing body of an open-enrollment charter school adopt a code of conductfor its district or for each campus. The school reserves the right to exclude a student from admission if the student has a documented history of a criminal offense, a juvenile court adjudication, or discipline problems under TEA Subchapter A, Chapter 37. j) Describe the manner in which the proposed school will admit students under TEe, ?25.001. Include the information that an applicant must provide in order to establish eligibility for admission. Note that applicants may not be required to provide transcripts or other academic records until after they are offered admission and are enrolling. A student application form shall be fIlled out and submitted by an application due date in order to be admitted to the school or included in the lottery process if the school is oversubscribed. The information required on the application includes: Student Information: o Grade for upcoming year o o o o Home Address District of Residence Date of Birth Name 149 of 461 5 o Telephone Number Parent or Guardian Information: o Name o o o Relationship to student Home Address Telephone Number k) Describe the manner in which the proposed school will enroll students under TEe, ?25.002 and 19 TAC, ?129.1. Include the information that an enrolling student must provide beyond what is required by TEC, ?25.002. Note that a student may not he precluded/rom enroiling due to the charter school'sfailure to receive in/ormation required by TEe, ?25.002. Note that if a charter is granted, the sponsoring entity will be required to submit a copy o/its admissions policy, admissions application, and enrollmentfonn(s) for review during the contingency process. A student seeking to enroll is not required to provide infonnation in addition to the items enumerated in TEA ?2S.002. As such, the enrolling student must provide: a. A birth certificate or another document suitable as proof of the child's identity b. a copy of the child's records from the school the child most recently attended or information regarding where this infonnation may be obtained by the school c. A record showing that the child has immunizations as required by state law 150 of 461 6 Section 8: Governance 151 of 461 8. Governance An applicant shall meet the following governing standards and any failure to maintain ongoing compliance will be considered a material violation of the charter contract, if awarded, and may be grounds for revocation. TEe, ?12.120 states, ,(~ person may not serve as a member of the governing body of a charter holder, as a member of the governing body of an open-enrollment charter school, or as an officer or employee of an open-enrollment charter school if the person has been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude.... " Charter schools must check the criminal history (through the Texas Department ofPublic Safety or a national history records check, which ever is applicable) ofeach person who intends to serve as an employee in any capacity, including persons employed by a subcontractor to provide services, a member of the governing body ofthe charter holder, a member of the governing body of the charter school, and any person who jiles, in writing, an intention to serve as a volunteer. See 19 TA C, ? 100.1151. Please note that the Application Coversheet requires the CEO of the sponsoring entity and the application preparer to certifY that no members of the governing body of the sponsoring entity or of the proposed charter school nor any officers or employees of the proposed school have been convicted of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitUde or of anyfelony. A history of bankruptcy ofa member of the governing body ofthe sponsoring entity or the proposed charter school or ofan officer ofthe proposed school may be relevant to the SBOE's evaluation ofthe application. The Biographical Affidavit Form that must be completed by each member ofthe governing body of the sponsoring entity or the proposed school and each identified officer ofthe proposed school contains questions regarding bankruptcy history. Governing Body of the Sponsoring Entity The governing body of a charter holder has the primary responsibility for implementing the public school program authorized by the open-enrollment charter and ensuring the 152 of 461 performance ofthe students enrolled in its charter schools in accordance with the Texas Education Code. See 19 TAC, ?100.110l. Members ofthe governing body ofa charter holder will be required to undergo training as provided in 19 TAC, ?100.1102. Records of an open-enrollment charter school and records ofa charter holder that relate to an open-enrollment charter school are government records for all purposes under state law. See TEe, ? 12.1052. a) List the members of the governing body of the sponsoring entity. Submit, as part of Attachment D, a notarized biographical affidavit for each member of the governing body of the sponsoring entity. Biographical affidavits must be notarized within 90 days ofthe due date of the application. Attachment D for biographical affidavits is attached. b) If the sponsoring entity is an out-of-state organization, state whether or not a majority of the members of the governing body of the sponsoring entity reside within 50 miles of the proposed charter school's designated geographic boundary (as described in response to item "a" in Section 6 Geographic Boundary). Note that if a majority of the members do not reside within 50 miles ofthe proposed school's designated geographic boundary, the SBOE's approval ofthe charter will be contingent upon the sponsoring entity's establishing a secondary governing body (a governing body of the charter school) that is made up entirely of members who reside within 50 miles of the proposed schooPs designated geographic boundary. Also note that even if a secondary governing body is established as required, Texas law requires the governing body ofthe sponsoring entity to meet in a location accessible to the public when deliberating charter related matters. See Tex. Atty Gen. Ope No. JC-0487 (2002); Tex. Atty Gen. Ope No. JC-0053 (1999) at pp. 5-6. The applicant should consult its own legal counsel about these 153 of 461 requirements. The iWin Foundation is not an out-of-state organization. c) Submit, as Attachment E, the 501(c)(3) determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or a statement that this is not necessary because the sponsoring entity is an institution of higher education or a governmental entity. Potential applicants should plan in advance to secure the required determination letter. A potential applicant without a determination letter may have difficulty obtaining one in time for the application due date. The IRS controls this process, and it is often lengthy. Attachment E is attached. d) Submit, as Attachment F, the original.Articles of Incorporation filed with the Texas Secretary of State, or the state of incorporation, any Restated .Articles of Incorporation, and any Articles of Amendment. If the sponsoring entity has amended its original Articles of Incorporation and does not submit both the original Articles of Incorporation and all of the documents reflecting the amendments, this will result in this item being considered incomplete and the removal of the application from the process. If incorporated after January 1,2006, the Certificate of Formation and Certificate of Filing must be included. If the sponsoring entity does not submit both the Certificate of Formation and Certificate of Filing, this will result in this item being considered incomplete and the removal of the application from the process. Comparable documents must be submitted if the sponsoring entity is a nonprofit corporation incorporated in another state. Any changes related to the management of the corporate affairs of a nonprofit entity may only occur with the approval of the commissioner in accordance with 19 TAC ?100.1033 (c) or in accordance with any other power granted to the commissioner in state law or rule. If the sponsoring entity is an institution of higher education or a governmental entity, the entity should submit a statement that this requirement 154of461 is inapplicable. Attachment F is attached. e) Submit, as Attachment G, a complete copy (originals and any amendments) of the bylaws of the sponsoring entity. These bylaws must clearly state that the charter holder and charter school will comply with the Texas Open Meetings Act and will appropriately respond to Texas Public Information Act requests. If the sponsoring entity is an institution of higher education or a governmental entity, the entity should submit a statement that this requirement is inapplicable. Attachment G is attached. f) State the approximate date on which the sponsoring entity was incorporated or established. The iWin Foundation was established on September 6,2011. g) Describe the purpose for which the sponsoring entity was established. The corporation is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes, including for such purposes the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as tax-exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; or the corresponding provision of any future federal tax code. In particular, the corporation is organized to educate, train and prepare individuals to function well in society and to provide educational opportunities and experiences. The corporation shall also seek to own and operate an Open-Enrollment Charter School as provided under the Texas Education code for the benefit of students in Texas, providing such students with education opportunity and programs as it deems appropriate in the furtherance of the purposes set forth in the this Certificate Formation. 155 of 461 h) Describe the activities in which the sponsoring entity has been engaged in the past and in which it is currently engaged. Agency staffwill review the franchise tax status on the website ofthe State of Texas Comptroller's Office. See http://www.window.state.lx.us/taxinfolfranchisel. The iWin Foundation, as the sponsoring entity, has not been engaged in the past or is currently engaged in any activities except in the submission of a charter application to the State Board of Education. i) Disclose whether the sponsoring entity has operated a private daycare, private school, public daycare, or public school.

In keeping with the charter's inclusion model, it will be the charter's primary aim not to pull students with special learning needs from the regular program but to expose them to the same experiences as every other student with additional support and individualized tutoring. Mainstreaming will be utilized at the most l1eneficiallevel for the student. Special-needs students will graduate from the school with a strong ability to advocate for themselves. They will be aware of what they must request to ensure their educational success in college. The special education teacher will work collaboratively with the general studies in order to address the needs of students with disabilities. The special education and general education teachers will work together to implement different teaching strategies and modify assignments to accommodate individual special education students. Adaptations and accommodations made within the class will be provided for individual students, and in some circumstances, for the entire class. The workshop model supports the needs of special populations of students such as special education students as guided instruction provides small groups and individual students with opportunities for the teacher to engage in remedial instruction, while independent study time is offered to those students who need less support. If awarded a charter, the School will comply with TEA and Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) requirements, and submit our plan and policies electronically to the local Regional ESC. English as a Second Language (ESL) The School shall serve any and all Limited English Proficient (LEP)lEnglish Language Leamer (ELL) students by providing supportive instruction so that they achieve proficiency in the English language as quickly as possible.

The Charter's job-embedded professional development is designed to achieve these goals by integrating professional development activities into the workday. The Charter's view of professional development is one in which teachers are engaged in professional learning every day, all day long. Professional development will pervade the classroom and the school. It will be embedded in the assignments and analyses that teachers perform every day as they continually draw understanding about their performance from student performance. At the School, teachers will learn together. They will solve problems in teams or as a whole faculty because every teacher will feel responsible for the success of every student in the School community. Rather than looking only outside of the School for expertise, teachers, with the help and guidance of the Charter's leadership, will work together to build capacity within their own environment. In the process, they will become avid seekers of research and best practices that will help themselves and others. Professional development at the School will be designed and delivered in a manner consistent with the National Staff Development Council's Standards for Stqff Development (as revised in 2001), including: Context Standards for Staff development that improves the learning of all students: o o o Organizes adults into learning communities whose goals are aligned with those of the School and/or district. (Learning Communities) Requires skillful School and district leaders who guide continuous instructional improvement. (1eadership) Requires resources to support adult learning and collaboration. (Resources) Process Standards for Staff development that improves the learning of all students: o o o o o o Uses disaggregated student data to determine adult learning priorities, monitor progress, and help sustain continuous improvement. (Data-Driven) Uses multiple sources of information to guide improvement and demonstrate its impact. (Evaluation) Prepares educators to apply research to decision making. (Research-Based) Uses learning strategies appropriate to the intended goal. (Design) Applies knowledge about human learning and change. (Learning) Provides educators with the knowledge and skills to collaborate. (Collaboration) 185 of 461 Content Standards for Staff development that improves the learning of all students: o o o Prepares educators to understand and appreciate all students, create safe, orderly and supportive learning environments, and hold high expectations for their academic achievement. (Equity) Deepens educators' content lmowledge, provides them with research-based instructional strategies to assist students in meeting rigorous academic standards, and prepares them to use various iypes of classroom assessments appropriately. (Quality Teaching) Provides educators with lmowledge and skills to involve families and other stakeholders appropriately. (Family Involvement) Regularly programmed staff development is an integral part of the Charter's structure and culture to maintain continuity and consistency. The Charter's Chair of Curriculum and Instruction will provide professional development: (1) To rationalize the importance ofthe workshop model for student learning; (2) To model lessons to demonstrate the power of the Workshop Model for student engagement and learning; (3) To develop expertise in delivery of the components of the Readers' and Writers' workshop; (4) To organize model or lab site classrooms for teachers to visit; (5) To provide materials and resources to support best practices; and (6) To facilitate meetings to develop curriculum maps and teacher planning. Professional Development Timeline This professional development will begin during the spring and summer of2014 and will continue throughout the school year and beyond. The activities and supports will take the form of workshops, classroom modeling and demonstration, development of "model classrooms" and teacher inter-visitation within the School and to other schools. The process of designing and coordinating the professional development program will be led by a Professional Development Team headed by the Chair of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction and overseen by the PrincipaL Pre-Opening Professional Development Sample: The following is an outline of a professional development session that will be a part of the pre-opening staff development sessions planned for instructional staff: 1. Introduction and Overview of Curriculum Materials 2.

The First Week; (a) Classroom Management; (b) Classroom Environment; and ( c) Rituals and Routines 186 of 461 First Year Professional Development Priorities: As stated previously, the Academy an will support ongoing professional development through investment in embedded' staff development with the Chairs of Curriculum and Instruction for General Studies and Languages other than English (LOTE) along with common planning time as a critical component of each teacher's daily schedule. Job embedded professional development will begin at the start of the school year and will continue throughout the school year. The typical job embedded professional development process that focuses on one or more of the priorities listed above will extend over a period of several weeks and usually will include: (1) How to create and maintain an effective environment for student learning. (Classroom Management); (2) How to engage and support all students in learning (including special populations: Title I, ELLs, Special Education, Gifted and Talented); (3) Understanding and organizing subject matter for student learning; (4) Planning instruction and designing learning experiences for all students; (5) Using assessment to drive instruction; and (6) Effective collaboration in the co-teaching model. All Schoolteachers will be involved in the professional development program. To support this, communal planning time has been scheduled for the instructional staff.

Pre-Opening Training-seven full days of training for teachers prior to the opening of charter. The goal of the pre-opening work is to introduce teachers to these three areas and throughout the school year to deepen the teachers' capacity to fully utilize the Proficiency approach tools relating to each of them. The topics to be addressed are divided into three overarching areas: 1) assessment; 2) teaching and 3) material design. 1) Assessment o The capacity to recognize student's proficiency level-in potential LOTE: Spanish, French, Farsi, Mandarin (listening, speaking, reading and writing) at any given moment. Goal: bring to oral fluency. o The ability to perfonn an Oral Proficiency Interview according to the standards set by American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language (ACTFL). o The ability to design reading, listening and writing assessment tools for learning units and for the year. 2) Teaching o Articulation of goals for learning units in all language skills. o Adapting unit materials and activities according to student needs. o Development of additional appropriate learning and teaching activities. 3) Material Design o Recognize learners' variables in order to utilize appropriate teaching strategies and methodologies. o Understand and implement lesson structure. 188of461 B. Training and professional development during the school year During the school year, teachers will engage in three kinds of professional development: 1) Classroom observation and feedback session with the Principal or designee. The feedback session will take the form of an individual meeting with the teacher. 2) Teacher team meetings by grade level to address issues that arise across the classes. These will occur once every two weeks. These meetings will also include the refinement of teacher skills and capacities based on the presenting needs. 3) The learning of new skills, including proactive curriculum development based on student needs, oral and written assessment design for individual units, mid-year evaluations and end of year evaluations. These sessions will take place approximately once per month during the school year. 4) In each subsequent year, new teachers will undergo an induction process that will include intensive training of 3-5 days prior to the opening of charter and additional workshops during their flrst year at the school. Teachers with more than one year of tenure at the charter will work in concert with other experienced teachers both to enhance their capacity to utilize the Proficiency tools and to induct new teachers into the learning culture of the charter. C. Other issues-Additional training and support will be provided in the following areas: 1) 2) Teaching of Languages other than English under the partial immersion framework; and Collaborating with General Studies teachers to create strong classroom community. Professional Development supporting Special Education and Bilingual educationlEnglish (ELL) as a second language. The Charter's program of professional development related to ELL and special education will be provided through two primary venues that include: Topic focused workshops delivered to several teachers or the entire faculty typically before the beginning of school. Topics of interest related to the Charter's instructional program include: o An introduction to Direct Instruction for special education and ELL students in an inclusion classroom. For the purposes of this workshop direct instruction is deImed as a continuum of effective strategies for increasing opportunities for learning in the least restrictive setting. 189 of 461 o The essential elements of the workshop model of instruction as applied to special o education and ELL students in an inclusion classroom.

Embedded professional development may involve such topics as; o o o o o Structuring social aspects of the classroom environment Response-prompt strategies Structuring academic and non-academic routines Organizing the physical space and materials Reinforcement strategies Professional Development will address the needs of the ELL and Special Needs Students by emphasizing differentiation and ongoing assessment of work. i) Explain the methodes) and timelines that will be used to evaluate teachers and other instructional staff. Designate the responsible party for the evaluations. Response: Teachers will know when they are hired, that they will be held accountable for student results. Renewal of their annual contract with the School will be tied to their perfonnance evaluations conducted by the respective Chairs of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction in LOTE and English Language Curriculum. Multiple language acquisition expands mental horizons. The Chairs' evaluations will place emphasis on each teacher's perfonnance as it relates to his or her students' achievement of academic goals and/or students' progress towards the achievement of academic goals, as well as the teacher's use of data to infonn instruction, participation in leadership activities in the Academy, and other factors. If teachers are to be held accountable for their students' growth and achievement, it must be the Charter's responsibility to provide them with the tools to achieve excellence in their practice. The School will provide the support and infrastructure for teachers to achieve student academic goals tlrrough (1) ongoing and embedded staff development and training (2) sophisticated data systems that provide teachers with real time student performance data to regularly inform classroom instruction (3) ongoing training in the use of data to inform instruction (4) common planning time to collaborate with colleagues and share their practice with each other. 190 of 461 The administrative team, and/or the Principal's designee(s) will conduct all faculty and charter staff evaluations using the Professional Development and Appraisal System (PDAS) adopted by the Texas Education Agency. Using this appraisal instrument, administrators will evaluate teachers witlrin the eight domains of Proficiencies for Leamer-centered Instruction: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Active, Successful Student Participation in the Learning Process Leamer-centered Instruction Evaluation and feedback on Student Progress Management of Student Discipline, Instructional Strategies, TimelMaterials Professional Communication Professional Development Compliance with Policies, Operating Procedures and Requirements Improvement of All Students' Academic Performance Each teacher shall be evaluated on Domains 1 through 8 using the following categories: (1) exceeds expectations; (2) proficiency; (3) below expectations; and (4) unsatisfactory The teacher evaluation in Domain 8 shall include the follOwing areas: (1) (2) (3) (4) efforts to enhance academic performance; efforts to enhance student attendance; efforts to identifY and assist students in at-risk situations; and campus performance rating. Formal teacher observations will be conducted at least four times a year for new teachers and bi-annually for experienced teachers. Additional appraisals may be effected, as needed, to address areas of concern andlor to inform completion of improvement plans that may include specific strategies, resources, and timelines for improvement deficiencies. A critical part of teacher evaluation and retention will be based on performance outcomes, measuring students' achievement and teacher's implementation of the curriculum. A performance agreement will be developed with each teacher prior to the school year and will be reviewed continually. The bi-annual performance assessment will be based on those standards. CWT (Classroom Walk Through) exercises, as part of the embedded professional development described above, will be conducted at a minimum on a weekly basis to provide feedback on objective-setting, grade-level appropriateness oflessons, appropriate higher-level thinking strategies, (as evidenced in Bloom's Taxonomy) and appropriate use of texts and materials. Instructional strategies, classroom management skills, and engagement ofleamers in the classroom will also be observed and teacher performance will be evaluated as a means to inform instruction. Support staff will receive feedback on their performance via in-house assessment tools and individual conferences with the Principal or hislher designee. School staff 191 of 461 perfonnance will be continually improved through a number of strategies. Performance reviews will be completed by the Principal, or his/her designee, and will serve as the basis for continuing employment contracts. The charter will establish clearly defined criteria for performance review that include: o o o o o Commitment to the charter's mission and goals Successful implementation of the curriculum and education philosophy High level of professionalism High level of accomplishment Effectiveness in participation in the charter's staff "team" Tools to be used in the evaluation process will include: o o o o Written evaluations based on classroom observations Self-evaluations completed by the teacher being evaluated Student perfonnance on major assessments Feedback from parents/guardians and students Teacher Evaluation Plan Position Chair of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction Re~onsible Timeline Fonnal in-class observation Quarterly Principal Classroom Walkthrough exercises Weekly Student performance on major assessments Quarterly Principal Formal, written evaluation Annual Feedback from students and parents Chair of (LOTE) and English Curriculum and Instruction Evaluation Method Quarterly Principal Fonnal in-class observation Quarterly Principal 192of461 Principal Principal Party Classroom Walkthrough exercises Student performance on maj or assessments Quarterly Principal Formal, written evaluation Annual Feedback from students and parents Quarterly Principal Formal in-class observation Quarterly Chair of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction Classroom Walkthrough exercises Quarterly Chair of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction Student performance on major assessments Quarterly Chair of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction Formal, written evaluation Annual Feedback from students and parents Content Area Subject Teachers Weekly Quarterly Chair of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction Formal in-class observation Quarterly Chair of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction Classroom Walkthrough exercises Quarterly Chair of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction Principal Principal Chair of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction ESLTeacher 193 of 461 Student performance on major assessments Formal, written evaluation Annual Feedback from students and parents Quarterly Chair of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction Formal in-class observation Quarterly Chair of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction Classroom Walkthrough exercises Quarterly Chair of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction Student performance on major assessments Quarterly Chair of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction Formal, written evaluation Annual Feedback from students and parents Special Education Teacher Quarterly Chair of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction Quarterly Chair of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction Chair of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction Chair of General Studies Curriculum and Instruction PEIMS Coordinator, Student Attendance Staff, and Other Staff j) Submit as Attachment I, a Supplemental Human Resources Information Form for the PEIMS coordinator, the student attendance staff position, and any other staff positions. A Supplemental Human Resources Information Form must be completed for the PEIMS coordinator, student attendance staff, and any other staff positions that the proposed school anticipates filling during the staff process. 194 of 461 As indicated on the Supplemental Human Resources Information Forms found in Attachment I. k) Describe professional development opportunities that will be offered to the PEIMS coordinator, student attendance staff, and any other staff not already addressed. Response: The PErMS Coordinator/Office Manager, Registrar/Attendance Clerk, and Office Assistant/Clerk will be required to attend workshop, training, and seminars along with professional workshops that are offered at the school. The PEIMS Coordinator/Office Manager and Registrar/Attendance Clerk will be trained in the rules and regulations regarding attendance tracking, transcripts, grade reporting, admissions procedures, creation and maintenance of cumulative folders. These staffwill also be required to attend all TEA PEIMS,training sessions and required WebSmart JR3 training, and disseminate information to appropriate staff within the school. All support staff will be given confidentiality and security training that will cover relevant state and federal laws. The PEIMS Coordinator/Office Manager, Registrar/Attendance Clerk, and other staff will also be expected to prepare an individualized continuing education plan in conjunction with the Principal. The plan is intended to ensure that staff continues to grow in their current position so that they can apply for advancement as other positions become available. Moreover staff will attend at least three training courses per year offered by Regional ESC and WebSmart RR3 concerning their areas of responsibility. Staff will be expected to join any applicable users groups and to attend meetings of such groups on a regular basis. Finally, staff will be expected to attend one professional development seminar not sponsored by either TEA or Regional ESC, relating to the improvement of basic communication and computer skills and/or personal growth and development. 1) Explain the methodes) and timelines that will be used to evaluate the PErMS coordinator, student attendance staff, and any other staff not already addressed. Designate the responsible party for the evaluations. Response: The performance of the PEIMS Coordinator, Financial OfficerlBusiness Manager, Registrar/Attendance, and other staff will be evaluated based upon a review of the performance of their specific job responsibilities. 195 of 461 PEIMS Coordinator, Student Attendance Staff, and Other Staff Evaluation Plan Position PEIMS Coordinator I Office Manager Evaluation Method Timeline Responsible Party Written perfonnance evaluation Annual against performance criteria CEO I Superintendent I Principal Achievement of measurable goals and objectives Self-evaluation of levels of accomplishment relative to goals and objectives Registrar I Attendance Clerk Quarterly CEO I Superintendent I Principal Biannual Written performance evaluation Annual against perfonnance criteria PEIMS Coordinator I Office Manager PEIMS Coordinator I Office Manager Completion of measurable goals and objectives statements Self-evaluation of levels of accomplishment relative to goals and objectives Office Assistant I Clerk Quarterly PEIMS Coordinator I Office Manager Biannual Registrar I Attendance Clerk Annual Written perfonnance evaluation against perfonnance criteria Self-evaluation of levels of accomplishment relative to goals and objectives PEIMS Coordinator / Office Manager Biannual Office Assistant / Clerk In addition. the following criteria will also form a basis for the evaluation of employees: o Productivity (quantity of work) Consider volume of accurate work, use of time and ability to meet schedules under normal conditions, ability to prioritize tasks o Quality of work Consider accuracy, skill and thoroughness; adherence to quality standards; and organization of job o Communication Consider oral and/or 'Written communications with co-workers, supervisor and others o Job Knowledge and skill Consider understanding of job procedures and methods, ability to acquire 196 of 461 necessary skills, expertise in doing assigned tasks and utilization ofbackground for job o Judgment Assess ability to evaluate relative merit of ideas or facts and arrive at sOllild conclusions; willingness to make timely decisions; ability to anticipate upcoming events/potential problems; and ability to organize and prioritize tasks and set realistic goals o AdaptabilityN ersatility Consider ability to meet changing conditions and situations; ease in learning new duties and assignments; ability to be innovative and creative; and willingness to seek opportunities for improvement o Attitude Consider interest in the job, cooperation with others, receptiveness to suggestions and constructive criticisms, enthusiasm in attempts to improve performance, and initiative o Understanding of School Mission Consider understanding and support of the charter's mission, values and goals o Performance Activities or Objectives Review of specific performance activities or objectives agreed to in the past o Development Plan Identify development or job enriclnnent opportllilities o Performance Plan Activities or objectives agreed upon for next year, listed in detail together with the expected results o Employee Statement This will be a statement for the employee to express any items or issues not specifically covered by the evaluation. 197 of 461 Section 10: Business Plan 198 of461 10. Business Plan and Financial Standards Failure to maintain ongoing compliance with these financial standards and requirements as listed below will be considered a material violation of the charter contract., if awarded., and may be grounds for revocation. The sponsoring entity must be in good standing with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Texas Secretary of State, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, and all state regulatory agencies. Financial History ofSponsoring Entity a) Provide evidence of financial competency and sustainability by providing evidence of an appropriate business plan which includes: 1. a brief narrative of the growth plan for the first five years of operation of the proposed school that matches all projections included in the budget and considers the potential expansion of competition in the area for the same student population; First Five Years of Operation Proposed School Plans First Year: K-5 Grade 300 students Second Year: K-6 Grade 616 students Third Year: K -7 Grade 880 students Fourth Year: K-8 Grade 1,100 students Fifth Year: K-9 Grade 1,300 students Private Schools: No one can afford it and there is only one private school serving 1st through 3rd grade.

They need a choice. There should be more than one alternate choice. Charter School Competition: None There are no charter schools in TerrelL The closest college preparatory school identified by Texas Charter School Association on their website is 22.2 miles away (Legacy Preparatory Academies - see chart below). The parents of Terrell have signed up 1,115 (see Section 3: Community Support) certified students to enroll in iWin Preparatory. Public Schools: Students should have a choice where they attend school. As stated in Section 1: Statement of Need: Our sponsoring entity proposes to establish iWin Preparatory Academies in the Terrell and Kaufinan County region. We will address and provide evidence below which will indicate a need to solve present and future issues surrounding the education provided by the Terrell Independent School District and Kaufman County schools. These needs include, but are not limited to, below average performance reported in the 2012 Texas Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) reports for Terrell lSD, low college 201 of 461 readiness statistics for Terrell lSD, low commended performance percentages for Terrell lSD, at-risk and economically disadvantaged statistics, teen pregnancy and drug related issues that are hindering our students from academic success.

These four campuses provided education for 2,889 of the district's 4,115 students. According to the 2010-2011 Accountability Data tables and AEIS reports, Terrell High School is Academically Unacceptable for African American students in Mathematics at 57% meeting standard and Economically Disadvantaged students in Mathematics at 63% meeting standard. Herman Furlough Jr. Middle School is Academically Unacceptable for African American students meeting standard in 202 of 461 Mathematics at 63% and in Science at 53%. Dr. Bruce Wood Elementary School is rated Academically Unacceptable for African American students in Writing at 61 % and Hispanic Students in Science with 59% of the students meeting the standard. In Science, only 57% of the African American students met the standard. However this group did not affect the campus rating due to only 21 students being tested. J.W. Long Elementary is also rated Academically Unacceptable in Science with only 50% of its African American students meeting the standard.

Of the five district schools evaluated all five did not meet the AyP standards in one or both of the areas evaluated. 203 of 461 Terrell ISD (TISD) is working hard to meet the needs of the students. They are making every effort to improve the performance of the students they serve. However, iWin Preparatory could offer an alternative and the children of Terrell would then have a choice between Texas Public Schools and not be required to attend Academically Unacceptable schools. 11. a list of risk factors, with brief explanations, that could jeopardize the viability of the proposed SChool; and Risk Factors (1) TISD's lack of performance in outcome testing would infer that the student population would be delayed in grade-level knowledge. A charter school attracts a higher percentage of minority population and at-risk students who may not be performing well at a previous school, so the iWin Prep would risk being responsible to offer remedial instruction for as many as 50% of the new student population. (2) The remedial instruction and a 150% higher rate of poverty population than the state average may increase the per student cost of educational expense. In 2008, the State of Texas poverty level rate was 15.8%, and Terrell's poverty level rate was 22% in 2009. The incidence of poverty has almost doubled in Terrell while increasing 50% in Texas. Terrell Poverty Leve13I.6% in 2009 Texas Poverty Level 22.7% in 2009 [Resource: http://www.city-data.comlpoverty/poverty-Terrell-Texas.html] (3) Terrell ISD receives both the Texas Permanent School Fund allotment and also local taxes and bond funding. The average Texas charter school operates on $1,500 less per student, because the local ISD continues to receive the transferring student's portion of local tax!bond funds. The charter school only receives the Texas PSF payment, which follows the student whether transferring to another ISD or to a public charter. The charter school will teach the same Kaufman county student for 25+1-% less funding than the local ISD. The charter school must operate more efficiently and creatively to make the budget work. The risk assumed from the local ISD is to do a better job with less funding. iii. a list of success factors, with brief explanations, that the proposed school founders have analyzed and determined will outweigh the risks. (1) Many of the experienced and dedicated administrators and staffhave been recruited, and they are enthusiastically ready to address the challenge. Personnel have been found that feel they are already meeting similar challenges at other public schools under the duress of bureaucratic restraints. They believe that their educational vision can be fulfilled at iWin because of two factors: (1) accepting the educational challenge bolstered by (2) the assurance that Texas Charter law allows them to fulfill their academic dreams of teaching unfettered without the hindrances of bureaucratic and political 204 of 461 restraints. The iWin team is confident of conquering the challenge in Kaufinan County, and their experiences have already demonstrated their ability to do a difficult job in tough circumstances. (2) Several of the founders have experience in teaching in urban ISDs. Others are experienced in providing social services and working with at-risk and minority populations. The mission and vision is driven by the demonstrated need of the Terrell area, and the knowledge and skills to teach the Kaufman County student population of over 1,000 (refer to Section 3: Community Section) already signed up with intention to attend iWin Prep if a charter is granted. (3) Money follows success. The state and federal money is less than what other ISDs must have to operate. Our leadership' s business acumen and the experienced founding stakeholders of iWin have successfully operated businesses and start-up companies with limited fimds. Over $140,000 has been pledged by stakeholders through monthly contributions during the first year of operations (refer to Attachment M and N for specific amounts). Stakeholders have been feeding breakfast to scores of children and teens M-F before school in downtown Terrell and also a meal on Wednesday evenings, and funding has been sufficient to maintain feeding the at-risk student population (some may be attending iWin next year?). The leadership of iWin and the Board of Directors know how to be innovative, creative and fiscally smart to spend funds carefully and efficiently. iWin Prep has created a start-up budget and the operating budgets to reflect the reality of the task ahead. An experienced financial specialist for public ISDs and charter schools assisted in creating the iWin budget that is frugal; yet, provides staffing and the necessary instructional materials, equipment and furnishings needed for a successful educational process. Personnel are recruited and will be hired after the charter grant at similar rates as surrounding public schools pay. Sufficient funding is allocated for the budget to operate the start-up school in "black ink" territory the fITst year. The students will be well taught and well trained at iWinPrep. Greater prosperity is expected for the second year; a successful community college grant writer is on the team, and several experienced founders have also been successful in obtaining grants, corporate fimding, community partnerships with in-kind support, and stakeholder contributions. A national charter-funding corporation has noted the circumscribed iWin service area as extremely lacking in social and educational resources. Representatives from the nationally known charter school fund sent representatives three months ago to offer funding assistance if the charter is granted. b) Discuss the sources of funding used by the sponsoring entity to start up its operations. 205 of 461 o The founding members of The iWin Foundation have raised $13,575 (see bank o statement "snap shot" in Attachment N) to meet the RFA start up expectations for 30 days of cash flow on hand to open a School of a proposed 300 students. Community supporters have pledged $140,000 to assist the School in start-up funding (See Attachment N for a report of cash and pledges). Vintage Bank of Waxahachie (see Attachment M) believes in the vision of The iWin Foundation and sees the educational need of a school like iWin Preparatory. Vintage Bank has agreed to provide a $1,000,000 Line of Credit (LOC) for start-up funding, available starting December 1, 2013, pending charter approval by the State Board of Education and showing capability of meeting all of the contingencies set forth by the SBOE and the Texas Education Agency. c) Submit, as Attachment J, a copy of the most recent unqualified audit report if the sponsoring entity has been in existence at least a year. The iWin Foundation was fonned in 2011 and has been in existence for at least a year. The board has provided an unqualified audit report as required for the entity found in Attachment J. d) Discuss any changes in current assets of the sponsoring entity since the date of the most recent audit report submitted as Attachment J. (Current Assets - Those assets which are reasonably expected to be realized in cash or sold/consumed within a year or within the normal operating cycle of the entity) See Attachment J. The most recent audit report is up to date through August 31, 2012 and reflects current assets as held by The iWin Foundation. No changes have occurred to current assets since the date of the audit report as attached. e) Discuss any changes in current liabilities of the sponsoring entity since the date of the most recent audit report submitted as Attachment J. (Current Liabilities - Obligations whose liquidation is reasonably expected to require the use of existing resources properly classified as current assets or obligations that are due on demand or will be due on demand within one year) See Attachment J. The most recent audit report is up to date through August 31,2012. No changes have occurred in current liabilities by the sponsoring entity, The iWin Foundation, since audit reflected through August 31,2012. j) Disclose any liens, litigation history, and/or any sanctions from any local, state and/or federal regulatory agency against the sponsoring entity. For the purpose of this application "litigation II includes civil suits, bankruptcy proceedings, and any administrative process in which an agency of the federal, state or local government has taken adverse licensing or disciplinary action. "Sponsoring entity II includes any organization, whether incorporated or not, to which the sponsoring entity is successor in interest; any organization, whether incorporated or not, which the sponsoring entity has purchased; and, any organization, whether incorporated or not,for which the sponsoring 206 of 461 entity has taken possession of substantially all assets previously possessed by that organization. There are no liens, litigation history, or any sanctions from any local, state, or federal regulatory agency against the sponsoring entity, The iWin Foundation, nor are there organizations held or controlled by iWin Foundation having these problems. g) List any open-emollment charters already held by the sponsoring entity. The sponsoring entity, The iWin Foundation does not hold any open emollment charters at this time. . h) Submit, as Attachment K, a credit report of the sponsoring entity. If the sponsoring entity was incorporated after January 1~ 2011, it is not required to provid~ a credit report and may instead provide a statement that, "No documents are being provided because the sponsoring entity was incorporated after January 1~ 201F~. A statement of not applicable will result in this item being considered incomplete and the removal of the application from the process. If the entity was incorporated prior to January 1, 2011, and there is no credit history, a response from one of the credit rating agencies must be attached indicating the entity has no credit history. The iWin Foundation was formed and incorporated after January 1,2011. See Attachment K. i) Submit, as Attachment L, a copy of the most recently filed (IRS) Form 990. Note: Small tax-exempt organizations whose annual gross receipts are normally $25,000 or less may be required to electronically submit Fonn 990-N, also known as the e-Postcard, unless they choose to file a complete Form 990 or Fonn 990-EZ. If the applicant submits. the e-Postcard to the IRS, provide, in Attachment L, a copy of the information that was provided to the IRS. A copy of the submitted information can be located on the IRS website at "Annual Electronic Filing Requirements for Small Exempt Organizations Form 990-N (e-Postcard)" or www.irs.gov/app/ePostcardi. If a Fonn 990 is not available, provide a statement that explains why a Form 990 (990-N) is not available. A statement of not applicable will result in this item being considered incomplete and the removal of the applicationfrom the process. See Attachment L. Current Operations of Sponsoring Entity j) If non-charter programs are currently operated by the sponsoring entity, describe whether, and if so how, these non-charter programs will relate to the charter school. The sponsoring entity is not currently operating any non-charter activities nor does it plan to begin operating any non-charter programs in the future. The iWin Foundation founders submitted a Fonn 1023 to the IRS in 2011 with the purpose of delivering a "school of choice" to Terrell, Texas. The founding members have worked hard for two years, to 207 of 461 create this opportunity for the students from the Terrell region to receive such an education. Our clear focus is to provide the best educational choice to students who cannot afford to drive or pay tuition for a private school education. No child should be forced to attend an academically unacceptable school because they do not have the financial means to attend elsewhere. k) If there are plans to begin operating any nonwcharter programs within the next two years, describe whether these non-charter programs will relate to the charter schooL Further, discuss the physical location of the programs. Describe how the charter school will maintain separate administrative, business, financial, payroll, personnel and other records There are no plans to begin operating any non-charter programs in the future, let alone within the next two years. As the board does not intend to operate non-charter programs, the question as to the physical location of the programs, how the charter school will maintain separate administrative, business, fmancial, payroll, personnel, and other records does not apply to the boards future plans. Start - Up of Charter School Operations 1) Provide a statement describing the projected amounts of start-up funding. The statement must identifY the amount of each source of funds and the specific source of funding (e.g., private donor, charitable foundation, local government, state/federal agency). Charter school applicants should be aware that the fiscal year of the charter school should end on August 31. Through a grant application process, federal funds may be available for up to 18 months ofpost-award planning and up to two years of implementation. However, start-up funds are available for no more than three years. Actual funding depends on the number of eligible charters, the completion of a successful competitive charter grant application, and the continuation offunds from the United States Department of Education. Start-up funding is not to be used for budget purposes and~ if awarded, will not be available to the sponsoring entity until the contract for charter has been executed~ a county-district number has been assigned, and a grant application has been completed and negotiated. The federal funds may then only be accessed after a request for reimbursement has been submitted. Generally, the federal funds may not be received until after the charter holder has demonstrated that it has incurred an expenditure that represents an allowable cost pursuant to the requirements of the federal award. 208 of 461 A total amount of $350,991.00 is projected in Attachment 0 for the StartUp Budget. $140,000.00 has been made in pledges for start-up funds. $13,575 has been raised from the community. Below is a report of the pledges raised. Personal Cash Contributions as noted in iWin Bank Account Attachment N. Pledges for Startup Funds 1. PRIVATE COMPANY--------I000.00 2.

These sources of funding/credit must not be included in the start-up budget. Refer to 19 TAC ?100.1015 (1)(C). If there are no such sources offunds (creditors) ~ state this in the attachment. A statement of not applicable will result in this item being considered incomplete and the removal of the application from the process. Also, letters of support for the proposed school should not be included in Attachment M. See Attachment M. n) Submit, as Attachment N, documentation (e.g., letters from donors that will not be repaid, notices of grant awards, documentation of any other sources of funding that will not require repayment) verifYing all nongovernmental sources of funding. Refer to 19 TAC ?100.1015 (l)(C). See Attachment N. 209 of 461 0) Describe the process by which the annual budget of the charter school will be adopted. The annual budget will be prepared by the CEO/Superintendent in conjunction with the Principal providing narrative and description of all sources of revenue and expenses. The annual budget will be prepared and approved by the Board prior to each school year. The budget will follow the Texas Education Agency's required financial accounting guidelines, and will be prepared in accordance to General Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The discussion and approval of the budget will be recorded in the minutes. Furthermore, WebSmart/Jr3 will provide financial advisory in the preparation of the budget, but the final report to the board will be made by the CEO and fmal approval will come from a public meeting help by the board of directors. p) Submit, as Attachment 0, a start-up budget; the electronic version of the start-up budget template can be found at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index.aspx?id=3475. Note that only this start-up budget template will be accepted for the purposes of this application. To complete the start-up budget template, refer to the Special Supplement to Financial Accounting and Reporting, Nonprofit Charter School Chart ofAccounts, which can be found at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index4.aspx?id=1222. and the instructions provided in the budget worksheets. The start-up budget must include the period between the date that the charter is awarded by the State Board of Education and the date that the proposed charter school will begin operations. The start-up budget must identify all sources of funding (no loans or creditors) and anticipated expenses. The private or local sources of funding must be supported by the documentation included in Attachment N. The revenues and expenses for each entry in the budget template must be supported with written calculations indicating how the amounts were derived. (For example, 3 teachers @ $30,000 annual salary = $90,000 salaries or wages entered to line 6119. These written calculations should be attached following the printout of the completed start-up budget template.) See Attachment 0 and Attachment N as needed. q) Submit, as Attachment P, a budget for the flIst five years of operation; the electronic version of the budget template can be found at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index.aspx?id=3475. Budgets must be included for five years (19 TAC ?lOO.1015(l)(B)(ix>>. Note that only this budget template will be accepted for purposes of this application. For additional information to use when completing the budget template, see the Special Supplement to Financial Accounting and Reporting, Nonprofit Charter School Chart of Accounts, which can be/ound at http;//www.feastate.tx.us/index4.aspx?id=1222. and the instructions provided in the budget worksheets. 210of461 Be advised that funding is only earned for a maximum of 180 days per school year. The budget for the first five years of operation must include the period after the date that the proposed charter school will begin operations. The budget must identify all sources of funding and anticipated expenses. Open-enrollment charter schools may offer either a half- day or full-day prekindergarten program; however,foundationfunding for each prekindergarten student is based on half-day eligibility (the student must be scheduledfor at least 120 minutes daily to be eligible for half-day prekindergarten). Please see the Student Attendance Accounting Handbookfor additional information. The handbook is available at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2 .aspx?id= 7739&menu~id=645&menu_id2= 789. Charters may offer either a half-day or full-day (120 minutes of instruction per day for half- day eligibility or 240 minutes of instruction per day for full-day eligibility) kindergarten program. If students are enrolled in a full-day program (240 minutes of instruction per day), the charter is entitled to full-day funding. Charters offering half-day programs may not count students who attend both the morning and afternoon half-day sessions for eligible full-day attendance. The private or local sources offunding must be supported by the documentation included in Attachment N. State and federal sources offunding must be supported with a written statement or schedule indicating how the amounts were derived. The expenses for each entry in the template must be supported with written calculations indicating how the amounts were derived. (For example, 3 teachers @ $30,000 annual salary = $90,000 salaries or wages entered to line 6119.) It is important to budget conservatively and to consider that charter schools often have lower than anticipated attendance rates in the first five years of operation. Therefore~ a reasonable planning estimate is $5~086 per student~ which accounts for a daily attendance rate of 80%. However, a higher daily ADA and/or attendance estimate percentage may be used in the budget ifan explanationfor the additional funding, with written calculations, is included. A useful source for calculating additional funding can be found under State Funding Worksheets located at the following TEA website: http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=7721&menu_id=645. See Attachment P, which is a budget for the fIrst fIve years of operation. Any and all private or local sources of funding must be supported by the documentation included in Attachment N. r) Submit, as Attachment Q~ a combinedfive-year budget that summarizes revenues and expenses. The combinedfive years also contain cumulative amounts and percentages. The electronic version of the five-year budget template can be found at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index.aspx?id=3475. All written calculations should be included in the application following the completed 211of461 budget template for the corresponding year.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization The iWin Foundation (the Organization) is incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas as a nonprofit corporation. The Organization is exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3), as well as state income taxes. The Organization is organized to educate, train, and prepare individuals to function well in society and to provide education opportunities and experiences. The Organization shall seek to own and operate an Open-EnroIIment Charter School as provided under the Texas Education Code for the benefit of students in Texas, providing such students with education opportunity and programs as it deems appropriate in furtherance of their tax exempt purpose. The Organization plans to submit its application for an Open-Enrollment Charter School to the Texas Education Agency in February 2013. As of August 3], 2012 and 2011, and for the years then ended, the Organization had no assets or liabilities. The activities of the Organization were restricted to those necessary for the formation of the Organization and the preparation of the Organization to pursue an Open Enrollment Charter pursuant to the Texas Education Code. Accordingly, the revenue and expenses of the Organization were comprised of noncash donations and expenses incurred during the fomation of the Organization. Support for the Organization was provided by other nonprofit organizations in the form of non-cash contributions and contributed services. Basis of Accounting The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and follow the reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASe) 958, Not-for-Profit Entities. Under ASC 958, the Organization is required to report information regarding its financial position and activ:ities according to the following 1bree classes of net assets: Unrestricted Net Assets -- Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed restrictions. Temporarily Restricted Net Assets - Net assets whose use by the Organization is subject to donor-imposed restrictions that either expire by passage of time or can be fulfilled and removed by actions of the Organization. The Organization did not have any temporarily restricted net assets at August 31, 2012 or 2011. Permanently Restricted Net Assets -- Net assets whose use by the Organization is subject to don(jr-impos~d restrictions that cannot be removed by the passage of time Of actions of the Organization. Th~ Organization did not have any permanently restricted net assets at August 31, 2012 or 2011. Contributions The Organization reports gifts of cash and other assets as restricted support if they are received with donor stipulations limiting the use of the donated assets. A donor restriction expires when a stipulated time restriction ends or a purpose restriction is accomplished. At that time temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted llet assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. 338 of 461 PageS of6 The iWin Foundation Notes to Financial Statements Noncash Donations Donated property and equipment and certain services are reflected as contributions at their estimated fair values on the date of receipt and are recorded in the appropriate asset or expense account. Services are recorded jf they create or enhance nonfinancial assets or require specialized skills, are provided by individuals possessing those ski11s and would typically need to be purchased if not provided by donation. Subseguent Events The Organization has evaluated subsequent events through February 20, 2013, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. In Januruy of2013 the Organization opened a checking account at a local bank. AdvertiSing Costs The Organization charges advertising costs to operations in the year the expense was incurred. 2. CONTINGENCY Should the Organization's application for an open~nrollment charter from the Texas Department of Education be denied, the Organization's ability to acheive its tax exempt purpose and continue operations would be severely impaired. 339 of 461 Page 60f6 Attachment Credit Report 340 of 461 Attachment K: Credit Report Excerpt from page 26 prompt letter (h): "Submit, as Attachment K, a credit report of the sponsoring entity.lfthe sponsoring entity was incorporated after January 1,2011, it is not required to provide a credit report and may instead provide a statement that, 'No documents are being provided because the sponsoring entity was incorporated after January 1, 2011 '.

Therefore, no documents are being provided because the sponsoring entity was incorporated after January 1,201 L 341 of 461 Attachment IRS 990 Filing 342 of 461 The iWin Foundation PO Box 2192 Terrell, Texas 75160 February 4, 2013 Purpose of Letter: Letter of Explanation for Attachment L. IRS 990 Filing Re:IWIN Foundation FEIN: 45-3154437 Year End: August 31 Recently, our non-profit entity attempted to file a 990N postcard filing for the first year of the organization. The organization was formed on September 6,2011 and had its first year-end on August 31, 2012. The epostcard.form990.org website lists the year as 111112 to 12/31112 as if this was not the first year. There is no way to edit this information online. We called the Internal Revenue Service on January 22, 2013 and verified on the phone with an agent that no 990N report has ever been filed for this entity. It is unclear what has caused the 12/31112 yearend to be displayed on the website for filing 990~ forms. The instructions on the website are to notify the Internal Revenue Service at this address if the year end changes. There is also a phone number for "contact us" on the website. After calling that number, we were informed that it will take 6-8 weeks for the correction to process. The year-end has not changed and has always been 8/31. Form 1023 reported a year-end of August on page 12 on the final application to the IRS. The first report is due on January 31,2013, but we are not able to file with the incorrect information entered on the website. It is our understanding from speaking with the Internal Revenue Service agent that there will be no penalty for filing past the due date and the non-profit status will remain in place even though we will most likely file the report after the due date because of this website information error and the amount of time that it will take for the Internal Revenue Service to process this request. As the entity has a start date of9/6/11, if the entity files a return for the period 111112 to 12/31112 as stated in error on the IRS website, then the first four months of the entity will not be considered in the report. If it were possible to file for 9/6/11 to 12/31111 first that might be a viable solution, but IRS' error does not allow for that scenario either. The IRS has instructed that since they have made this error, the entity should write a letter as attached requesting the IRS to fix the error on their website. If the entity files a 990 on time after the entity has requested the IRS to fix the date, this will complicate the filing data and make it very difficult to get untangled. Also, if the entity files with the wrong date, it is confirming that the entity accepts the date as correct. 343 of 461 The iWin Foundation PO Box 2192 Terrell, Texas 75160 The iWin Foundation board contends that since the IRS set the fiscal year end date up incorrectly on it's website, and requests the IRS to fix it so that the filing can be correct from the beginning. The iWin Foundation board has asked the Internal Revenue Service to change the year end displaying online to August 31 so that we may file the 990N report for 2011 as quickly as possible. OUf board will submit the Form 990 as instructed by the IRS immediately when have received notice that the IRS has corrected the information on their website, and will provide this information when the Texas Education Agency requests the Fonn 990. If this board can answer any questions for the Generation 18 Charter Application Review team, please call me at 972-965-3290.

Consider the following requirements and guidance in preparing the budget. The following list is not all inclusive. (a) (b) The budget must adhere to Texas Education Code (TEC), ?44.004. The effectiveness of the budget as a financial control tool depends on adherence to the following basic principles; > Ensure that revenues are closely linked to expenses for consistent assumptions, and explain the assumptions used, as applicable. > The estimated revenUe projections have been tested using suggested techniques that current Charter School financial professionals use. Anytime the estimated expenses could be linked to the revenue estimates the two were. > Avoid overly optimistic revenue and expense projections (use conservative projections). > Overly optimistic projections for revenue and expenses were avoided while developing the budget. > Use a budget process that provides periodiC (monthly or quarterly) comparisons of budget to actual results so that differences can be acted on in a timely manner when necessary. Include in the periodic review processes to adjust for changes such as those related to inventories, bad debt expense, etc. > Monthly comparitive reports of budget to actual will come from the financial software. These reports will be reviewed by the Superintendent and the Board. Timely changes will come from the reviews and will be made as needed. > Put in place a reasonable process to allow the charter school to modify its budget. > Mom:hly monitoring will be established by the Superintendent that will cover the different comparative reports of budg_et to actual revenues and expenses. 399 of 461 Application for an Open-Enrollment Charter School - Eighteenth Generation Estimated Revenues and Expenses - Years 1-5 Budget Projections Instructions to Complete Budget Worksheet and Templates PleQ$e print instructions.
