Public Education Reform

CHILDREN AT RISK (C@R) works to improve the quality of public education as Texas continues to fall behind other states in key indicators such as student achievement and high school graduation rates. C@R strives to draw immense public attention to the successes and failures within our public education system and reach over 1 million individuals through the publication of its annual Public School Rankings Report. We continue to educate the community by attracting prominent media attention to pressing issues through press conferences, news stories, articles and editorials. Annual education reform conferences aim to inform public officials, leaders in the academic community, education agencies and practictioners, and community stakeholders about the need for educational reform and available solutions. By promoting best practices, C@R hopes to improve conditions within our public education system and ensure the academic success of our our children.

Center for Parenting and Family Well-Being

The Center for Parenting and Family Well-Being (CPFWB) advocates to change the way parent education and child abuse prevention is approached. The CPFWB believes that organizations should come together to create a framework that strives to provide all parents in our community with effective and accessible parent education. The CPFWB collaborates with and supports organizations that provide parent education courses to ensure that the infrastructure, policies, and partnerships are in place to improve availability. Using the design and curriculum of the Positive Parenting Program (Triple P), our approach targets all families, not just high-risk ones. Triple P has an established record of success on improving the parentsâ€™ mental health as well as decreasing rates of social, behavioral, and emotional disorders in children. This program is a multi-tiered approach, providing parents with necessary levels of support through group classes and/or individuals consultations.

Center to End The Trafficking and Exploitation of Children

An estimated one out of every three children that run away from home is lured into sex trafficking within 48 hours of leaving home. CHILDREN AT RISK has led the fight to change state policy around the modern day form of slavery known as human trafficking. Having passed key pieces of legislation, including two omnibus bills, CHILDREN AT RISK has worked hard to identify specific solutions to help victims escape their life of exploitation and abuse. CHILDREN AT RISK is committed to raising awareness and educating the community on this heinous crime through media outreach, continuing legal education conferences for attorneys/judges and policy luncheons across Texas, and human trafficking summits. Additionally, we publish, The State of Human Trafficking in Texas, a comprehensive publication including data on the scope of trafficking, services available for victims, and legal remedies for child trafficking in Texas.

Center for Child Health Research and Policy

The Center for Child Health Research and Policy (CCHRP) is a collaboration among CHILDREN AT RISK (C@R), Doctors for Change, and Rice Universityâ€™s Kinder Institute. The CCHRP strives to improve the health of children through a three-pronged approach: research, advocacy, and community outreach. This approach focuses on access to healthy food, obesity prevention, and access to care. In 2013, C@R successfully advocated for and helped pass SB 376, which requires schools with populations of â‰¥80% economically disadvantaged students to provide Universal School Breakfast (USB). Since our work with this initiative began, C@R has guided 22 school districts to offer USB to more than 629,000 students. Public awareness increases participation rates to ensure that more students start their day nourished and ready to learn. In 2014, the CCHRP will be conducting studies on school health, creating a positive environment for physical activity, and hosting frequent educational events for the community.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

C@R does not provide direct services. Instead, we focus on the whole child and work to improve the quality of life for children through our research, collaboration, and advocacy initiatives.

C@R fulfills the holistic needs of children throughout Texas by focusing on three main issue areas that improve the quality of life for children.

- Education: The majority of students in Texas public schools come from economically disadvantaged communities. Quality early learning systems and K-12 public education programs can pull children out of poverty and close opportunity gaps.

- Health: Too many Texas children lack access to quality healthcare and nutrition. Hunger or poor health early in life can cause challenges for children in the classroom and well into adulthood. Every child deserves a healthy start.

- Opportunity and Resiliency: Every child deserves the chance to grow up safe, stable, and supported, and develop to their full potential. C@R works to expand equitable opportunity, prevent exploitation, and strengthen the resiliency of the most vulnerable children in Texas.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

CHILDREN AT RISK works toward the focus areas through research and advocacy. CHILDREN AT RISK also uses prominent media attention to bring attention to important issues. CHILDREN AT RISK advocates through regular meetings with public officials.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

CHILDREN AT RISK has a dedicated Center for Social Measurement and Evaluation team that works hard to research and publish school rankings data. There is also a dedicated public policy team that has extensive experience and a great working relationship with elected officials.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

CHILDREN AT RISK has been involved in supporting and lobbying for several successful legislation. These bills cover all of our focus areas. CHILDREN AT RISK's focus areas present ongoing issues for which the organization will continue to work to improve.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
