Five Promises for Two Generations


2/16

Introduction & Overview As the District makes its final deliberations regarding the proposed closure of KenilworthElementary School and the re-purposing of the site as a co-located recreation center/educationcampus, the DC Promise Neighborhood Initiative (DCPNI) seeks the Administrations approval tomaintain and expand our presence in Kenilworth in the near and long term, to continue to providedirect services and educational supports for Kenilworth-Parkside children and their families.DCPNI is encouraged by the Administrations recognition of the great need for high -qualityeducation and recreation resources in Kenilworth-Parkside. DCPNI can play an instrumental role inhelping you deliver these needed services. In order to fulfill our commitment to the residents andimplement our mission, DCPNI formally requests 10,000 SF of space in the building in 2013 and2014, and an increase in our presence to 21,500 SF by 2015. We propose that re-use plans shoulddraw from successful local campuses such as Webb-Wheatley, and Walker Jones, and other nationalmodels.

Who We AreThe mission of DCPNI is to increase the number of children in Kenilworth-Parkside who completetheir education from cradle to college to career, and enter adulthood as productive participants inthe 21 st century economy and in the civic life of their communities. We accomplish this byimplementing a Two Generation model, which provides for a robust education pipeline for children,aligned with targeted supports for their parents. Our initiative is supported by the collaborativeaction of over forty partners that meet the education and support needs of local students and theirfamilies through data-driven programming. To ensure the quality of our offerings, we measure ourcollective impact on the community through a set of twelve federally mandated indicators. Ourstakeholders include Kenilworth-Parkside residents, schools, technical experts, direct serviceproviders, District government agencies, federal supporters and funders, all of which have a long-term commitment to the Kenilworth-Parkside community. Our efforts support a full continuum of education, afterschool, summertime, health & wellness, and adult education programs providingservices to more than 1000 children and their families annually.

DCPNI was founded in 2009. Since the beginning, our work in Kenilworth-Parkside has beendirectly driven by feedback from community residents and baseline data that illustrates thecommunitys needs. During our planning phase, Ke nilworth-Parkside residents provided input through multiple resident retreats and regular participation in our working groups. We solicit ongoing input from residents through our monthly community engagement activities within theneighborhood, and from our Resident Board Members, who make up 1/3 of the DCPNI board. InJuly of 2012, DCPNI submitted a highly competitive Implementation Grant application to the U.S.Department of Education for nearly $30M in funding over the next five years, to support our effortson behalf of the children and parents in the Kenilworth-Parkside community.

Additionally, DCPNI was the Lead Education Partner on the DC Housing Authoritys (DCHA) ChoiceNeighborhood Implementation Grant application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban

Development. The Choice and Promise Neighborhood programs are sister initiatives built upon theprinciple that successful neighborhood revitalization efforts must transform not only the schoolsfor the children, but also the community resources including adult education, recreation, housing,retail, parkland, and family services. Although DCHA was not awarded an implementation grant thisyear, the Authority was one of nine finalists for the HUD grant and will be using feedback from HUDto improve the application and apply again next year. The Choice grant would be worth $30 millionin federal funds over 5 years for the comprehensive revitalization of Kenilworth Parkside.

DCPNI at Kenilworth Elementary School Currently, DCPNI operates out of three classrooms on the third floor of Kenilworth ElementarySchool. This space, provided to us by DC Public Schools (DCPS), allows DCPNI to have a dailyphysical presence within the community that we serve, a critical element to engaging with localresidents and partner providers.

We currently work with out-of-school time partners such as the Department of Parks andRecreation, the Fishing School, DC Reads, Jumpstart, Save the Children, local sports teams, andothers to ensure that area students have trusted afterschool and summer programming in theirneighborhood. In just this year alone DCPNI and our partners brought in well over $1.5 million inadditional services and supports directly to Kenilworth Elementary School students, teachers, andfamilies. And we are currently recruiting additional partners to fill gaps in services during theevenings, on the weekends, and throughout the summer so that Kenilworth children of all agesbenefit from extended learning time, targeted instructional support and do not suffer summerlearning loss.

To support our two-generation approach, DCPNI is also currently working with the East RiverFamily Strengthening Collaborative and other partners to re-open a Parent Center in KenilworthElementary School and provide evening and weekend programming that will benefit the parents,adults and seniors of the community. Our plans include running an updated parent resource centerwith computers and Internet access for adult residents and adding full-time support for a careercenter, resource referrals, and parenting trainings. Financial services partners such as Bank on DCare poised to use the space to run targeted financial literacy classes for families that have beenidentified by the DCHA as having difficulty paying their rent in a timely manner. Legal servicespartner DLA Piper/Bread for the City has already begun utilizing the existing space to run pro-bonolegal clinics for Kenilworth- Parkside families. Health & wellness partners such as ChildrensNational Medical Center, the DC Primary Care Association, and Unity Health Care plan to use theParent Center to run health outreach programs, provide educational nutrition classes, and connect directly and regularly to the Kenilworth community. DCPNI is also working in partnership with the

Community College of DC to bring assessment, accreditation, and training programs directly intothe Kenilworth Elementary School facility to more easily reach and serve our residents.

In addition to running our operations and partner programming from the school, we regularly usethe facilities in Kenilworth to host community-wide meetings and community engagement activities. The Kenilworth community relies on the facility as a polling location and emergencyevacuation center. There is no other available indoor space in the Kenilworth community to gatherlarge groups of residents for community celebrations, educational sessions, town hall meetings, orother civic engagement events.

Re-Use Proposal DCPNI is a one of many Promise Neighborhoods around the country building a cradle to college to

career education pipeline. One key characteristic of the most successful Promise Neighborhoodsand education-centered community revitalization efforts is access to a physical space within theheart of the community that can serve as a hub for providing services, programming and resourcesto all residents. Some of the most notable examples include:

The Harlem Childrens Zone, the original model for the federal Promise Neighborhoodprogram, serves families from a 100 city block area of Harlem through their system of elementary, middle and high school charter schools, and their own HCZ recreation center.They make additional use of their facilities by turning their schools into community centers


4/16

in the afternoons, evenings, on the weekends, and during the summers. Through theirfacilities they are able to provide educational and recreational programming to every childin their community regardless of where they go to school.

East Lake in Atlanta, GA is a Purpose Built Community that has an educational campusanchored by the Drew Charter School (PK 8), a co-located YMCA, an early learning facility,and a complete golf course. These facilities allow the East Lake Foundation to serve not onlythe students of their top performing charter school, but also the entire East Lakecommunity and the greater public. The YMCA and the golf course support sportsprogramming and physical activity efforts in the schools and in the community, while alsoproviding additional revenu e toward the East Lake Foundations goals.

The Webb Wheatley Education Campus at 1299 Neal Street NE in Washington D.C. is abrand new, facility for students pre-K through 8th grade with state-of-the-art technologyand facilities. These include a new gym, computer lab, mobile laptop lab, and wirelesscomputer access to the Internet in every. The school offers free aftercare options, tutoring,homework help, dance, and music enrichment, and brings in outside partners to provideadditional services for children and their parents. Attached to the Campus is the Joseph H.Cole Community Center, operated by the Department of Parks and Recreation. This newfacility has a computer lab, game room, basketball courts, artificial turf playing field,playgrounds and seasonal splash park .

The Walker Jones Education Campus located at New Jersey Avenue and Pierce Street NW isa brand new 125,000 square foot facility with capacity to accommodate 850 students. It includes a 100,000 square foot K-8 school, a 20,000 square foot community recreationcenter, a 5,000 square foot library and new athletic fields and playgrounds. The schoolboasts a farm, beehives, and innovative programming and supports for students.

DCPNI seeks to build on lessons learned from these successful models and creatively leverage

available space within the community to provide supports to children and their families, both inand outside of the classroom. For many families in our community, DCPS proposed closure of Kenilworth Elementary School and the demolition of the Kenilworth-Parkside Recreation Center in2009 stir feelings of disenfranchisement, frustration and concern. For these families, the closure of Kenilworth Elementary School means that the prospect of a high performing school within walkingdistance is even more remote. A report provided to DCPNI by the Urban Institute in 2012, showsthat nearly 70% of the school aged children in this footprint, attend over 150 different schoolsthroughout the DMV. For DCPNI, these closures mean that we are faced with an even greaterchallenge of reaching DCPNI students who will be increasingly scattered across the Washingtonmetro area as they leave Kenilworth-Parkside in search of education options.

However, DCPNI sees the repurposing of the Kenilworth Elementary School as a recreation

center/educational campus and community hub as an extraordinary opportunity to ensure aholistic approach is implemented to provide residents access to missing social, recreational andeducational services specifically within this Promise community. DCPNI envisions that the long-term re-use of the Kenilworth Elementary School facility and surrounding land would serve threedistinct needs in the Kenilworth-Parkside community:


5/16

An early learning center for infants and toddlers to meet current demands; A high quality neighborhood serving school with an education campus, similar to the

Walker Jones and Webb-Wheatley models; A DCPNI central office to serve as a hub for DCPNI partners, community-wide events and

service delivery access to educational, health, wellness and other familyresources/programming;

DCPNI proposes to maintain its offices in the building, and collaborate with the Department of Parks and Recreation to run complementary key partner programming in the facility. Because aneffective repurposing of the Kenilworth Elementary School will take time, DCPNI proposes atransition to a re-purposed facility in two stages:

STAGE 1: DCPNI Offices and Hub Temporary Use In order to accommodate our needs, DCPNI is requesting 10,000 SF of dedicated space in thebuilding. Upon your approval and a fully executed lease agreement, DCPNI will make immediateuse of the Kenilworth Elementary School building beginning in June of 2013 to ensure that there isno disruption in the services and programming DCPNI and our partners provide to the Kenilworth-Parkside neighborhood. We propose to continue to maintain our offices in the building, movingDCPNI to the first floor of the building for safety and logistical reasons and to provide easier accessfor young children and people with disabilities. Additionally, DCPNI will provide space for severalof our key implementation partners to co-locate with us in the facility. We will continue to delivereducational programs, community engagement activities, and support out-of-school-time activitiesfor children and their families throughout the summer and the school year.

Additionally, DCPNI is in the process of increasing our staff from the current six employees toapproximately twelve by the Spring of 2013. If awarded the $30 million federal PromiseNeighborhood implementation grant (likely to be announced by January 2013,) DCPNI willimmediately seek to increase our staff from the current six employees to approximately 30employees by the end of 2013. Even if we are not awarded the federal grant, DCPNI will continue to

operate with a budget of over $1M (funding comes from corporations, foundations and individuals)with over $30M in leveraged partner programming and resources to serve the entire footprint. Wewill continue to work with national and local partners, including Americas Promise Alliance, LISC,and Georgetown University, and over 25 others that have signed MOUs with DCPNI to providecontinuing services and support.

Our commitments from donors and partners are strong, and we will be expanding ourprogramming and data collection and analysis efforts with or without federal funding. (For acomplete list of partners, funders, programming and indicators, see Appendix A.) Through theserobust relationships, DCPNI will remain a sustainable, consistent source of support for the childrenand families of the Kenilworth-Parkside community.

DCPNI envisions that under our partnership and through our assets, the building will become acommunity hub where residents can access information and services. The focus of ourprogramming will be in keeping with our Two Generation approach: robust education and out-of-school learning supports spanning early education up through college and career, augmented byour Parent Center and additional financial literacy and continuing education options foradults. DCPNIs staff and that of our partners will be available on site to direct families to neededservices, and to continue dialogue with the community so that we can identify and fill gaps inprogramming. Our physical location and additional space within the community will allow us to


6/16

continue to attract evidenced - based education and data-driven support partners, and to provideongoing opportunities for children and parents in the heart of the community.

Our plan is to continue to work closely with DPR as they construct a new $12M state-of-the art 15,000-20,000 SF facility directly adjacent to the school building, providing much-neededrecreation space for the community. These two facilities, side by side, will become a focal point where the community can come together for education, recreation and collaboration.

STAGE 2: DCPNI Office and Hub Integrated into Permanent Space Plans Currently, students in the DCPNI footprint attend 152 different schools throughout the DMV, and,based on projections, we anticipate an increase in the number of school-aged children in thefootprint over the next five years because of the redevelopment of Kenilworth Courts, and otherneighborhood renovations. Our vision, aligned with that of the District, is that there will be anadequate number of high quality slots within the community to provide meaningful options for allthose children wishing to attend neighborhood schools. Therefore, we propose that, within thenext five, DCPNI will work in tandem with DCPS to identify a suitable PK-8 school model (public orcharter) with an early learning component to join us and our partners in the KenilworthElementary School facility. The facility will then serve not only as DCPNIs hub, but also as aneducation anchor in the community. DCPNI proposes to work with DPR and DCPS to convene aworking group of resident, developers, and education experts to upgrade the Kenilworth building,and incorporate use of the new Recreation Center to deliver a community campus that will becomea safe focal point for early learning and PK-8 education, in addition to the DCPNI headquarters, thehub for our partners, and a space for out-of school and adult learning, and community recreationand supports. DCPNI currently works with City Interests and other developers through ourpartnership with DCHAs Choice initiative, and is dedicated to collaborating with other groups that may wish to be a part of the process to assist us with design and space logistics. In addition, DCPNIwill leverage our close working relationship with Purpose Built Communities in Atlanta to build onbest practices and lessons learned from their highly successful model in which they co-located ahigh performing K-8 school with a YMCA and early learning academy.

As DCPNI continues to scale up, create a hub in the footprint and maximize programming, wellcomplement the new recreation center and education campus through our full operation, partnersand community programs. In order to achieve this, we are requesting the following necessaryspace for our long term use plans:

DCPNI Staff Office Space: 6,800 sq ft Large Conference Room 1,000 sq ft (40 person) Small Breakout Rooms (4) 1,600 sq ft Reception: 300 sq ft Kitchenette: 200 sq ft Storage Space: 300 sq ft

Program Space: 3,000 sq ft Partner Work Space/Community Engagement Room: 5,000 sq ft Child Care Space: 2,500 sq ft Parent Resource Center 1,000 sq ft Total Requested DCPNI Programming Space: 21,700 square feet

Conclusion

Kenilworth Elementary School is a valued resource for the Kenilworth-Parkside community. DCPNIfully supports the reuse of the facility and site as a multipurpose community center and educationalcampus with an adjacent Recreation Center, successfully modeled after Webb-Wheatley, andWalker Jones. With the Districts support, DCPNI seeks to maintain and expand our presence inKenilworth Elementary School to continue to provide direct services and education supports for thechildren and families of Kenilworth-Parkside. Within five years, DCPNI envisions the re-purposingof the Kenilworth grounds as a multipurpose campus with a Recreation Center, high-performing,neighborhood serving school, and DCPNI headquarters - through a solid public-private partnershipbuilt on the foundation serving the needs of this community. We are prepared to immediatelybegin working collaboratively with the District government and the Kenilworth-Parksidecommunity to create a community hub that will support the children and families of Kenilworth-Parkside to drive improved education outcomes and neighborhood stability. DCPNI appreciatesyour full consideration of this initial proposal and looks forward to the opportunity to further vet with you and the community the programming use and design possibilities for the KenilworthSchool and lot to achieve the Administrations goals.
