INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF DR. RICHARD IZQUIERDO HEALTH & SCIENCE CHARTER SCHOOL

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health & Science Charter School (the “School”) (a not-for-profit corporation), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2016, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the School’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the School’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the School as of June 30, 2016, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Report on Summarized Comparative Information

We have previously audited the School’s 2015 financial statements, and our report dated September 3, 2015 expressed an unmodified opinion on those audited financial statements. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.

DR. RICHARD IZQUIERDO HEALTH & SCIENCE CHARTER SCHOOL (A Not-For-Profit Corporation)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2016

(with comparative financial information for June 30, 2015)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Organization Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health & Science Charter School (the “School”) is a New York State,

not-for-profit educational corporation that was incorporated to operate a Charter School pursuant to Article 56 of the Education Law of the State of New York. The School was granted a provisional charter on December 15, 2009 valid for a term of five years and renewable upon expiration by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York. During 2016, the Board of Regents extended the School’s charter through June 30, 2019. The School’s mission is to provide its students with a nurturing and challenging educational experience to develop their abilities and address the health and economic disparities in the community. Upon graduation, students will be prepared for the highest levels of college achievement, gainful employment as certified health care professionals, and a commitment to serve others as they pursue rewarding lives and respected careers for themselves. Classes commenced in the South Bronx neighborhood of New York, in September, 2010, and the School provided education to approximately 620 students in grades six through eleven during the 2015-2016 academic year.

The School shares space with a New York City public school. The School is not responsible

for rent, utilities, custodial services, maintenance and school safety services other than the security related to the School’s programs that take place outside the district’s school day.

Food Services

The New York City Department of Education provides free lunches directly to some of the School’s students. Such costs are not included in these financial statements. The School covers the cost of lunches for children not entitled to the free lunches.

Tax Status The School is exempt from Federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue

Code as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) and a similar provision under New York State income tax laws. The School has also been classified as an entity that is not a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(a) and qualifies for deductible contributions as provided in section 170(b)(l)(A)(ii). The School is subject to income taxes only on net unrelated business income. The School did not have any unrelated business income for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

The School’s accounting policy provides that a tax expense or benefit from an uncertain tax

position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. The School has no uncertain tax positions resulting in an accrual of tax expense or benefit.

- 7 -



(with comparative financial information for June 30, 2015) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(Continued) Tax Status (Continued)

IRS forms 990 filed by the School are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service up to three years from the extended due date of each return. Forms 990 filed by the School are no longer subject to examination for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, and prior.

Basis of Presentation The School’s financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial statement presentation follows the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in its Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 958-205 which provides guidance for the classification of net assets. The amounts for each of the three classes of net assets are based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions described as follows:

Unrestricted

Net assets of the School whose use has not been restricted by an outside donor or by law. They are available for any use in carrying out the operations of the School.

Board-designated net assets were established by the Board of Trustees to provide a

reserve for unforeseen facility, personnel, and other issues.

Temporarily Restricted Net assets of the School whose use has been limited by donor-imposed stipulations

that either expire with the passage of time or can be fulfilled and removed by actions of the School. When such stipulations end or are fulfilled, such temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statements of activities, as net assets released from restrictions.

Permanently Restricted

Net assets of the School whose use has been permanently limited by donor-imposed restrictions. Such assets include contributions required to be invested in perpetuity, the income from which is available to support charitable purposes designated by the donors.

The School had no temporarily or permanently restricted net assets as of June 30, 2016 and 2015.

- 8 -




(Continued)

Revenue and Support Contributions are recognized when the donor makes a promise to give to the School that is, in substance, unconditional. Grants and other contributions of cash are reported as temporarily restricted support if they are received with donor stipulations. Restricted contributions and grants that are made to support the school’s current year activities are recorded as unrestricted revenue. Contributions of assets other than cash are recorded at their estimated fair value. Revenue from the state and local governments resulting from the School’s charter status and based on the number of students enrolled is recorded when services are performed in accordance with the charter agreement. Federal and other state and local funds are recorded when expenditures are incurred and billable to the government agencies.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents The School considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of

three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the School to concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents. The School places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit in what it believes to be highly credited financial institutions. Cash balances may exceed the FDIC insured levels of $250,000 per institution at various times during the year. As of June 30, 2016, cash balances exceeded insured levels by approximately $1,323,000. The School believes that there is little risk in any losses and has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

- 9 -




(Continued) Property and Equipment Purchased property and equipment are recorded at cost. Property and equipment acquired

with certain government funding are recorded as expenses pursuant to the terms of the contract, in which ownership of such property and equipment is retained by the funding source. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is provided on the straight line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:

Computers and equipment 3 and 5 years Furniture and fixtures 7 years Website development 3 years Software 3 years Leasehold improvements Useful life or related lease Restricted Cash Under the provisions of its charter, the School established an escrow account to pay for legal

and audit expenses that would be associated with a dissolution should it occur. Refundable Advances

The School records certain government grants and contracts as refundable advances until the related services are performed, at which time it is recognized as revenue. Comparative Financial Information The accompanying statements of activities and functional expenses are presented with summarized comparative information. Such prior year information is not presented by net asset class in the statements of activities or by functional category in the statements of functional expenses. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the School’s 2015 financial statements from which the summarized information was derived.

NOTE 2 - GRANTS AND CONTRACTS RECEIVABLE

Grants and contracts receivable consists of federal, state, and city entitlements and grants. The School expects to collect these receivables within one year.

- 10 -



(with comparative financial information for June 30, 2015) NOTE 3 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consists of the following as of June 30,:

2016 2015 Computers $ 490,988 $ 349,672 Equipment 560,519 519,503 Furniture and fixtures 300,057 245,859 Website development 37,500 37,500 Software 18,534 11,034 Leasehold improvements 170,989 141,342 1,578,587 1,304,910 Less: Accumulated depreciation and amortization (1,030,709) (724,620) $ 547,878 $ 580,290

During the year ended June 30, 2015, the School disposed of certain assets resulting in a gain of $2,005. The School had no dispositions during the year ended June 30, 2016.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $306,089 and $292,050 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCY

Certain grants and contracts may be subject to audit by the funding sources. Such audits might result in disallowances of costs submitted for reimbursements. Management is of the opinion that such cost disallowances, if any, will not have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. Accordingly, no amounts have been provided in the accompanying financial statements for such potential claims.

NOTE 5 - DONATED SERVICES Donated services are recognized as contributions in accordance with FASB ASC No. 958-

605-25, if the services (a) create or enhance non-financial assets or (b) require specialized skills, are performed by people with those skills, and would otherwise be purchased by the School and (c) are measurable.

One entity provided legal services to the School at no charge. The value of these services meets the criteria for recognition in the financial statements and was recorded at fair value of $-0- and $85 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition, one entity provided professional services to the School at no charge and was recorded at fair value of $-0- and $5,440 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

- 11 -



(with comparative financial information for June 30, 2015) NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS

The School leases office equipment under non-cancelable lease agreements expiring on various dates through July 2020. The future minimum lease payments are as follows:

For the year ending June 30, 2017 $ 40,932 2018 40,932 2019 27,207 2020 16,031 2021 943 $ 126,045

Equipment rental expense was $48,110 and $20,922 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

NOTE 7 - REVENUE CONCENTRATION The School receives a substantial portion of its support and revenue from the New York City

Department of Education. If the charter school laws were modified, reducing or eliminating these revenues, the School’s finances could be materially adversely affected.

NOTE 8 - FUNCTIONAL ALLOCATION OF EXPENSE

Directly identifiable expenses are charged to programs and supporting services. Expenses related to more than one function are charged to programs and supporting services on the basis of periodic time and expense studies. Management and general expense includes those expenses that are not directly identifiable with any other specific function, but provide for the overall support and direction of the School.

NOTE 9 - RETIREMENT PLAN

The School maintains a retirement plan qualified under Internal Revenue Code 403(b) for the benefit of its eligible employees. Beginning with the 2014-2015 plan year, the School matched employee contributions up to 3% of eligible compensation. The amount charged for matching contributions to this plan was $129,213 and $101,492 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The School has evaluated its subsequent events through October 18, 2016, the date that the accompanying financial statements were available to be issued. The School has no material events requiring disclosure.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF DR. RICHARD IZQUIERDO HEALTH & SCIENCE CHARTER SCHOOL

We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health & Science Charter School (the “School”), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2016, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated October 18, 2016.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered The School’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of The School’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the School’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the School’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. We did identify a deficiency in internal control, described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses as item 2016-001 that we considered to be a significant deficiency.

- 13 -

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF DR. RICHARD IZQUIERDO HEALTH & SCIENCE CHARTER SCHOOL

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the School’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

The School’s Response to Findings

The School’s response to the findings identified in our audit is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and responses. The School’s response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

Purpose of this Report

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the School’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the School’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

DR. RICHARD IZQUIERDO HEALTH & SCIENCE CHARTER SCHOOL SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND RESPONSES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 FINDINGS - FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY 2016-001- Maintenance of Student Records Criteria The School bills the New York City Department of Education (“NYCDOE”) on a bi-monthly basis a total per-pupil amount based on a Full Time Equivalent (“FTE”) student enrollment for general and special education. Condition During our 2016 audit, we noted one instance where a student appeared on the roster twice and another instance where the student was no longer at the School, but appeared on the roster. Student enrollment is used to calculate per-pupil revenue. Cause The NYCDOE Automate the Schools (“ATS”) roster was correct; however, the NYCDOE per pupil roster was not correct. In the first instance, a student had two different identification numbers and their last names were not the same. In the second instance, the pupil was not on the ATS roster but was still on the per pupil roster. The person reviewing the data was under the impression that both rosters were the same and therefore did not reconcile the two rosters against each other. Effect Inaccurate attendance records resulted in incorrect billing to the NYCDOE throughout the academic year. The School, upon being made aware of the error, adjusted the FTE amount when they completed the year end reconciliation for the 2015-2016 academic year. Recommendation We recommend that a formal review process be put in place to assure timely and accurate reconciliation of the two pupil rosters. Management’s Response A protocol has been developed and implemented whereby the ATS roster is reconciled with the per pupil roster on a quarterly basis.

� October 18, 2016 To the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health & Science Charter School

We have audited the financial statements of Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health & Science Charter School (the “School”) for the year ended June 30, 2016, and have issued our report thereon dated October 18, 2016. Professional standards require that we provide you with the following information related to our audit.

Our Responsibilities under U.S. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards and Government Auditing Standards

As stated in our engagement letter dated March 10, 2016, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to express an opinion about whether the financial statements prepared by management with your oversight are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your responsibilities.

As part of our audit, we will consider the internal control of the School. Such considerations are solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control.

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we will perform tests of the School’s compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants. However, the objective of our tests is not to provide an opinion on compliance with such provisions.

Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit

We performed our audit according to the plan previously communicated to you prior to commencement of our audit field work.

Auditor Independence

Fruchter Rosen & Company, P.C. have complied with all relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.

Significant Audit Findings

Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the School are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the year ended June 30, 2016. We noted no transactions entered into by the School during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.

Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health & Science Charter School October 18, 2016 Page 2

Significant Accounting Estimates Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the financial statements are as follows:

x Collectability of grants and contracts receivables

x Useful lives of fixed assets

x Allocation of costs for the statements of functional expenses

We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the above estimates in determining that it was reasonable in relation to the financial statement taken as a whole. The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.

Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.

Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements Professional standards require us to accumulate all misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. In addition, we are required to communicate with those charged with governance uncorrected misstatements and the effect that they may have on the opinion in the auditors’ report, and request their correction. None of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Disagreements with Management For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditors’ report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.

Management Representations We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated October 18, 2016.

Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the School’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditors’ opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.

Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health & Science Charter School October 18, 2016 Page 3

Other Audit Findings or Issues We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the School’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMMUNICATION OF INTERNAL CONTROL MATTERS

JUNE 30, 2016



_________

TEL: (212) 957-3600 FAX: (212) 957-3696

October 18, 2016 To the Board of Trustees and Management of Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health & Science Charter School 800 Home Street Bronx, NY 10456 In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health & Science Charter School (the “School”) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, we considered the School’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the School’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the School’s internal control.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and, therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. However as discussed below, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be significant deficiencies.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the School’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.

A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Exhibit I accompanying this letter summarizes an observation for the year ended June 30, 2016 that we consider to be a significant deficiency. Management’s response to the observation has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

This communication is intended solely for the information and use of management, Board of Trustees, federal, state and local awarding agencies, The Department of Education of the City of New York, The State Education Department of the State University of New York, and others within the School, and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.

We appreciate your cooperation and the assistance we received during the course of our audit.

EXHIBIT I – CURRENT YEAR OBSERVATION A. MAINTENANCE OF STUDENT RECORDS

Observation The School bills the New York City Department of Education (“NYCDOE”) on a bi-monthly basis a total per-pupil amount based on a Full Time Equivalent (“FTE”) student enrollment for general and special education. During our 2016 audit, we noted one instance where a student appeared on the roster twice and another instance where the student was no longer at the School, but appeared on the roster. Student enrollment is used to calculate per-pupil revenue. The NYCDOE Automate the Schools (“ATS”) roster was correct; however, the NYCDOE per pupil roster was not correct. In the first instance, a student had two different identification numbers and their last names were not the same. In the second instance, the pupil was not on the ATS roster but was still on the per pupil roster. The person reviewing the data was under the impression that both rosters were the same and therefore did not reconcile the two rosters against each other. Inaccurate attendance records resulted in incorrect billing to the NYCDOE throughout the academic year. The School, upon being made aware of the error, adjusted the FTE amount when they completed the year end reconciliation for the 2015-2016 academic year.

Recommendation We recommend that a formal review process be put in place to assure timely and accurate reconciliation of the two pupil rosters.

Management’s Response

A protocol has been developed and implemented whereby the ATS roster is reconciled with the per pupil roster on a quarterly basis.

Enrollment and Retention Targets for FRL, ELL and SWD:

DRIHSCS strives to increase enrollment and retention targets. The following table highlights the comparison of DRIHSCS enrollment for these special populations in each year of school operations thus far and for the surrounding district for the years data is publicly available for CSD 12.1

Percentage Enrollment of At-Risk Groups at DRIHSCS and CSD 122

SWD 17.5% 13.4% 22% 12% 22% 17% NA 17%

Our vigilance in increasing numbers for At-Risk Groups at DIRHSCS is moving forward. The 2015-2016 FRL data exceeds previous years CSD 12 data. Enrollment data for the 2015-2016 year shows an increase of ELL data from 10% to 14%. Besides the continuation of previous strategies to increase at-risk groups, the Board of Directors has approved a modification of the lottery system for adding new admits to offer preference to ELL.

DRIHSCS has been challenged in enrolling comparable percentages of ELLs with that of the district. The School has consistently had a percentage of ELLs that is approximately one-half the percentage of ELLS in CSD 12. Although DRIHSCS’ student population does not reflect the same proportion of ELLs in the surrounding district, it is noteworthy that over 50% of the School’s total student body reside in homes where English is not the first language. Three-quarters of these families indicate Spanish is their home language with the remaining 25% having a home language of one of a diverse range of languages from countries in Africa and the Middle East.

The School continues to make good faith efforts to reach out to families who represent these three at-risk segments of the community. DRIHSCS’ recruitment efforts leverage existing community resources which serve predominantly low-income to poverty-level families with middle school children. The School has developed relationships with churches, mosques, libraries, feeder schools (with a focus on schools with high FRL, SWD and ELL populations) and community-based organizations (including the School’s partner, UHP, which promotes the School to its healthcare clients). These relationships help DRIHSCS inform a wide swath of the community about the educational opportunities available for middle school children in the School. The School places notices about upcoming School open houses and information sessions at these venues and the School’s applications are made available at their physical locations. Beginning in January, School staff conducts walk-throughs in the community distributing applications and notices to high trafficked locations (supermarkets, Laundromats, bodegas and other commercial businesses) to cast as wide a net as possible. The School has been successful in tying its own marketing and recruitment efforts to larger neighborhood events to reach families who come out for these community celebrations. The School also conducts a mass mailing of its applications to targeted zip codes using the services of Vanguard.

1 District data compiled from New York State District Report Card for CSD available on the NYSED website

00 HOME STREET, BRONX, NY 10456 x TEL: 718-378-0490 x WWW.HEALTHSCIENCESCHOOL.ORG

e

The School’s partner, UHP, is a critical resource for DRIHSCS given its access to low-income families and families from the Latino community and other immigrant communities, a significant segment of their healthcare clientele. The School hosts information and student recruitment sessions at UHP specifically targeting the immigrant families that receive medical care there. In addition, the DRIHSCS application is available on the School’s website in English and Spanish and copies of the English and Spanish version of the application are available at the School, UHP and other community organizations that serve immigrant families. DRIHSCS also participates in the Common Charter Application process with the New York Charter Center which provides the application in a number of languages other than English.

A challenge for DRIHSCS in recruiting immigrant families, many of which have children who may be designated as ELLs, has been its physical location which is not in close proximity to the neighborhoods in CSD 12 with large concentrations of Latino or other immigrant residents. The immediate surrounding community of the School is predominantly African-American. While students typically travel outside their neighborhoods and CSDs to attend high school, families of middle school students—the School’s major point of student intake—typically still look at options for their children that are in close proximity to their homes. This is particularly true for families new to America who are much more protective of their children and less likely to explore a school where their children would have a longer commute. Because of this, DRIHSCS recognizes it must do more work to market the School to Latino and other immigrant parents as a highly desirable option for their children and one that will provide them with the supports they need to become English proficient and thus be able to share in the School’s mission of preparing them well academically, socially and emotionally for success in college and future health careers. DRIHSCS must demonstrate successfully to these parents the tremendous value that it can offer their children in order to convince them to seriously explore an option that might be well outside their neighborhood.

Specifically, DRIHSCS continues to assess whether its marketing and recruitment materials and efforts are targeting the immigrant population as effectively as they can. It looks to better describe the instructional supports, especially the ESL instructional staff focused on ensuring ELLs gain English proficiency both in it written literature as well as oral presentations. Likewise, it is important that its recruitment materials and information sessions discuss its inclusive program, particularly the supports available for SWD and Title I children. Parents must be assured that their children can be effectively served by the School and that their children and they will be an integral part of DRIHSCS’ welcoming and diverse community.

Once in the school, DRIHSCS does ensure that non-English speaking parents are engaged in the community to support the retention of their children. Based on its current language demographics, all DRIHSCS-specific school handouts are provided in English and Spanish. For Parent Teacher Conferences, DRIHSCS ensures that a translator is available when the parent does not speak English and this need has been mainly for the School’s Latino families. Should it be aware of parents who need a translator who speaks a language other than Spanish or materials translated in a language other than English or Spanish, it would secure those materials or services.

Evidence of the best faith efforts it has made to ensure enrollment and retention of special populations can be found on site and include recruitment materials, mailing lists of organizations that receive School recruitment materials, invoices for the mass mailings carried out by Vanguard, copies of School specific handouts in Spanish, among other documentation.
