GELF EQUIPS TENNESSEE'S CHILDREN WITH BOOKS AND INNOVATIVE LITERACY TOOLS THAT ENCOURAGE LIFELONG LEARNING FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE. WE DO THIS BY SERVING AS A THOUGHT LEADER, ADVISOR, AND CATALYST TO SUSTAIN EARLY LITERACY PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN ACROSS THE STATE, INCLUDING BIRTH-5 BOOK DELIVERY, K-3 HOME LIBRARIES, CAREGIVER ENGAGEMENT, STORYBOOK TRAILS, BOOK BUSES, AND THE STATEWIDE EARLY LITERACY EDUCATION COLLABORATIVE OF TENNESSEE.WE DO THIS BY SERVING AS A THOUGHT LEADER, ADVISOR, AND CATALYST TO SUSTAIN EARLY LITERACY PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN ACCROSS THE STATE, INCLUSING BIRTH-3 BOOK DELIVERY, K-3 HOME LIBRARIES, CAREGIVER ENGAGEMENT, STORYBOOK TRAILS, BOOK BUSES, AND THE STATEWIDE EARLY LITERACY EDUCATION COLLABORATIVE OF TENNESSEE. 0 0 7413209 25215 3297142 BOOK DELIVERY, THROUGH DOLLY PARTON'S IMAGINATION LIBRARY: THROUGH OUR BIRTH-5 BOOK DELIVERY PROGRAM, WE DELIVER BOOKS EACH MONTH TO CHILDREN FROM BIRTH TO AGE FIVE, THROUGH DOLLY PARTON'S IMAGINATION LIBRARY, TO FOSTER A LOVE OF READING AT AN EARLY AGE. THIS PROGRAM IS A GIFT OF UP TO 60 HIGH-QUALITY, AGE APPROPRIATE BOOKS, SELECTED BY A BLUE REIBBON COMMITTEE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUATION EXPERTS, TO BUILD A CHILD'S HOME LIBRARY BEFORE KINDERGARTON. DOLLY PARTON'S IMAGINATION LIBRARY IS AVAILABLE TO ALL AGE-ELIGIBLE TENNESSEE CHILDREN THROUGH A UNIQUE PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP WITH GELF AND AFFILIATED PROGRAMS IN EACH OF TENNESSEE'S 95 COUNTIES. WITH VITAL FINANCIAL SUPORT FROM THE TENESSEE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, FOUNDATIONS, AND CORPORATE SPONSORS, GELF FUNDS HALF THE COST OF IMAGINATION LIBRARY BOOKS FOR ENROLLED CHILDREN STATEWIDE, SUPPORTING GRASSROOTS ORGANIZERS IN EACH OF TENNESSEE'S 95 COUNTIES AS THEY RAISE THE OTHER HALF OF THE COST OF BOOKS FOR ENROLLED CHILDREN IN THEIR COUNTY. SINCE 2004, WE HAVE MAILED OVER 54 MILLION BOOKS TO CHILDREN STATEWIDE. FROM JULY 1, 2023 TO JUNE 30, 2024, GELF MAILED 3,430,562 BOOKS TO ENROLLED CHILDREN STATEWIDE. DURING THIS PERIOD, 71,682 CHILDREN WERE NEWLY ENROLLED IN THE PROGRAM, AND 71,362 CHILDREN GRADUATED FROM THE PROGRAM AS THEY REACHED THE MAXIMUM PARTICIPATION AGE. ALL 95 TENNESSEE COUNTIES CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN THEIR AFFILATED IMMAGINATION LIBRARY PROGRAMS THROUGH CHILD ENROLLMENT, COMMINITY ENGAGEMENT AND LOCAL FUNDRAISING TO COVER THEIR 50% BOOK AND MAILING COST COMMITMENT OF APPROX. $1.10 PER BOOK. GLEF, NOW IN ITS NINETEENTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR OF SERVICE, CONTINUED TO PROVIDE A GRANT EQUALING THE REMAINING 50% OF THE COST OF THESE IMAGINATION LIBRARY BOOKS FOR EACH COUNTY. THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF GELF'S STATEWIDE PROGRAM FUNDING IS DERIVED FROM ITS STATE-APPROVED ANNUAL APPROPRIATION. THE PROGRAM HAS EXPERIENCED CONTINUED GROWTH SINCE INECPTION, NOW SERVING 69.4% OF THE STATE'S AGE-ELIGIBLE POPULATION MAILING APPROX. 282,800 BOOKS EACH MONTH. AS A RESULT, WE CONTINUE TO FUNDRAISE PRIVATELY ON BEHALF OF INDIVIDUAL COUNTIES AND TO BUILD CAPACITY FOR OUR STATEWIDE PROGRAM'S CONTINUED GROWTH. BASED UPON OUR DIVERSIFIED STRATEGIES AND METHODS TO INCREASE STATEWIDE ENROLLMENT, COUPLED WITH OUR TARGETED EFFORTS TO ENROLL CHILDREN AS NEWBORNS, WE EXPECT THIS GROWTH PATTERN TO CONTINUE. THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF A CHILD'S LIFE ARE CRITICAL TO LANGUAGE AND VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENT AND HAVING BOOKS IN THE HOME HAS PROVEN TO INCREASE SCHOOL READINESS AND FUTURE EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS. TENNESSEE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT CHILDREN WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE IMAGINATION LIBRARY PROGRAM ENTER KINDERGARTEN MORE PREPARED TO LEARN THAN THEIR NON-PARTICIPATING PEERS AND THAT CHILDREN WHO ARE ENROLLED IN THE PROGRAM FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME ARE MORE LIKELY TO SCORE HIGHER ON ACADEMIC ASSESSMENTS INTO THIRD GRADE. FURTHER, THIS RESEARCH INDICATES STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE INCREASED SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AND LESS LIKELY TO BE SUSPENDED. 6992188 K-3 BOOK DELIVERY: SUMMER: THROUGHT OUR GROWING K-3 HOME LIEBRARY PROGRAM, WE DELIVER QUALITY BOOKS AND LITERACY RESOURCES TO COMBAT SUMMER LEARNING LOSS AND SUPORT STUDENT LEARNING IN THE HOME. IN COLLABORATION WITH SCHOLASTIC EDUCATION, THIS PROGRAM MAILS A PACK OF HIGH-QUALITY BOOKS TO ELEMENTARY STUDENTS AND TEACHERS DURING THE SUMMER, AT NO COST TO FAMILIES OR SCHOOL DISTRICTS. THE PROGRAM LAUNCHED IN JUNE 2020 AND PROVIDED MORE THAN 30,000 RISING FIRST AND THIRD GRADE STUDENTS IN 36 SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITH BOOKS AND RESOURCES DELIVERED DIRECTLY TO THEIR HOMES OVER THE SUMMER. PARTICIPATING SCHOOL DISTRICTS WERE CHOSEN BASED ON THE COUNTY'S DESIGNATION OF "DISTRESSED OR "AT-RISK" BY THE TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. SINCE IT'S LAUNCH, THE K-3 HOME LIBRARY PROGRAM HAS QUICKLY GROWN TO BECOME ONE OF GELF'S KEY PROGRAMS, AND THE FIRST STATEWIDE K-3 BOOK DELIVERY EFFORT IN THE U.S IN 2021. IN AUGUST 2020, GELF PARTNERED WITH THE TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO DELIVER TEN BOOKS TO SUDENTS AND TEACHERS DURING THE FALL WHILE MANY WERE STILL NAVIGATING THE CHALLENGES OF REMOTE LEARNING ALLOWING 570,000 BOOKS TO BE DELIVERED TO 57,000 STUDENTS AND TEACHERS. IN APRIL 2021, THE STATE LEGISLATURE APPROVED FUNDING FOR THE PROGRAM TO BE AVAILABLE STATEWIDE FOR STUDENTS ENTERING FIRST GRADE, ALLOWING THE PRORAM TO SERVE MORE THAN 89,000 STUDENTS AND TEACHERS. FROM JULY 1, 2023 TO JUNE 30, 2024, 1.2 MILLION BOOKS WERE DELIVERED TO OVER 247,383 CHILDREN AND TEACHERS. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT TWO TO THREE MONTHS OF READING PROFICIENCY IS LOST FOR STUDENTS WHO DO NOT READ OVER THE SUMMER, AND DATA SHOWS A DECLINE IN THIRD GRADE READING PROFICIENCY DUE TO INCREADED TIME SPENT OUT OF THE CLASSROOM DURING COVID-19 SCHOOL CLOSURES. RESEARCH SHOWS PLACING BOOKS AND RESOURCES DIRECTLY INTO THE HOMES OF FAMILIES HELPS COMBAT LEARNING LOSS. 2303871 COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS WITH TN DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (TDOE)- DURING 2023 & 2024 GELF HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO COLLABORATE WITH THE TDOE ON DECODABLE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES. KINDERGARTEN, FIRST AND SECOND GRADE STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES HAD ACCES TO AT-HOME DECODABLE SETS ALONG WITH SPECIFICALLY CHOSEN SCHOLASTIC BOOKS FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE GRADE LEVEL AT NO CHARGE TO THE FAMILY. THESE 7 DECODABLE BOOKLETS IN EACH GRADE LEVEL SET CONTAINED 20+ STORIES FULL OF WORDS AND SOUNDS TO PRACTICE AT HOME AND BUILD PHONIC SKILLS. ORDERS WERE PLACED FROM EVERY COUNTY IN TN WITH 49,932 PACKS DISTRIBUTED ACROSS ALL THREE GRADES. ADDITIONALLY, IN FALL 2023, GELF CREATED A CURATED BOOKSTORE AND SHOPPING EXPERIENCE FOR PREK-5TH GRADE STUDENTS IN 29 PRIORITY SCHOOLS ACROSS TENNESSEE. THIS ONE DAY EVENT AT EACH OF THE DESIGNATED SCHOOLS, OPPORTUNITES WITH LITERACY - OWL FEST, SERVED TO SUPPORT STUDENTS BY BUILDING THEIR HOME LIBRARIES AND FOSTERING THEIR MOTIVATION TO READ. EACH STUDENT SELECTED SIX HIGH-QUALITY, HIGH-INTEREST TITLES TO TAKE HOME AT NO COST. TEACHERS AND LIBRAIRIANS WERE ALSO GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO ORDER ADDITIONAL CLASSROOM LITERACY RESOURCES AT NO COST. THIS PROJECT DELIVERED 54,198 BOOKS TO 9,078 STUDENTS AGES PREK THROUGH 5TH GRADE. SOME 506 EDUCATORS RECEIVED OVER 24,300 CLASSROOM BOOKS AND 1,518 PHONIC KITS/RESOURCES. 725507 WE EQUIP CAREGIVERS TO BE DEEPLY ENGAGED AS A CHILD'S FIRST TEACHER. THIS PROGRAM GIVES FAMILIES THE TOOLS TO TURN CONVERSATIONS INTO LEARNING OPPORTUNITES BY CONNECTING BOOKS WITH EXPERIENCES. RESOURCES, LIKE READING TIPS AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES, ARE SHARED DIGITALLY WITH CAREGIVERS AND MODEL HOW EVERYDAY INTERACTIONS AT HOME CAN BE USED TO BOOST LEARNING. IN JANUARY 2021, GELF AND THE TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (TDOE) PARTNERED TO EXPAND THE CAREGIVER ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM, PROVIDING THOUSANDS OF TENNESSEE FAMILIES WITH READY4K, A RESEARCH-BASED TEXT MESSAGING PROGRAM TO HELP PARENTS SUPPORT THEIR STUDENTS IN LEARNING AT HOME. THIS MARKED THE LARGEST STATEWIDE ROLLOUT OF THE READY4K PROGRAM TO DATE AND WAS MADE AVAILABLE FOR FREE TO PARTICIPATING TENNESSEE SCHOOL DISTRICTS BY GELF AND TDOE. THROUGH THE READY4K PROGRAM, FAMILIES WITH PRE-K THROUGH 3RD GRADE STUDENTS ACROSS TENNESSEE RECEIVE THREE WEEKLY TEXT MESSAGES, MATCHED FOR EACH CHILD'S AGE, WITH EASY TIPS AND SIMPLE ACTIVITIES TO HELP CHILDREN LEARN AND GROW BY BUILDING ON EXISTING DAILY ROUTINES, SUCH AS GETTING DRESSED, BATH TIME OR PREPARING A MEAL. BY JUNE 2021, READY4K WAS SUPPORTING 118,000 UNIQUE CAREGIVERS REPRESENTING MORE THAN 130,000 STUDENTS IN TENNESSEE. FROM JULY 1, 2023 - JUNE 30, 2024, OVER 200,000 CAREGIVERS WERE SEVED DIRECTLY BENEFITTING OVER 244,000 CHILDREN. STATEWIDE SURVEYS SHOW THAT READY4K HAS POSITIVELY IMPACTED HOME LEARNING HABITS AND LITERACY DEVELOPMENT FOR TENNESSEE FAMILIES. 81% OF PARENTS REPORTING DOING AT LEAST ONE READY4K ACTIVITY PER WEEK. 92% OF PARENTS SAID THAT READY4K ACTIVITIES HELPED CHILDREN GROWN THEIR LITEARCY SKILLS. EIGHTY-NINE PERCENT OF PARENTS EXPERIENCED AN INCREASE IN THEIR CONFIDENCE TO SUPPORT THEIR CHILDREN'S LEARNING BECAUSE OF READY4K. 96% OF PARENTS SAID THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR CHILDREN WERE STRONGER AFTER DOING READY4K ACTIVITIES. CHILDREN BEGIN LEARNING AT HOME BEFORE THEY EVER REACH THE CLASSROOM, BUT MANY FAMILIES FACE BARRIERS TO PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY EARLY LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT PROMOTING HOME LEARNING ACTIVITIES AND EFFECTIVE TEACHING STRATEGIES CAN FOSTER EARLY LEARNING AND IMPROVE SCHOOL READINESS. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, WE HOPE TO PROVIDE FAMILIES WITH SIMPLE, EVERYDAY TOOLS TO HELP CHILDREN STRENGTHEN EARLY LITERACY SKILLS. 216000 THROUGH OUR BOOK BUS PROGRAM, WE PARTNER WITH LOCAL SCHOOL SYSTEMS TO ESTABLISH MOBILE LIBRARIES THAT PROVIDE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WITH ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY LITERACY RESOURCES. PARTNERING SCHOOL SYSTEMS RETROFIT DECOMMISSIONED SCHOOL BUSES WITH SEATING AND SHELVING TO HOUSE BOOKS AND LITERACY RESOURCES CREATING A LEARNING SPACE FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES TO ENJOY. MANY OF THE BOOK BUSES ARE FOCUSED ON SERVING CHILDREN IN AREAS THAT FACE CHALLENGES TO ACCESSING BOOKS, SUCH AS LIBRARY DESERTS, LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES, OR RURAL AREAS WHERE TRANSPORTATION TO A BOOKSTORE OR LIBRARY IS DIFFICULT. SOME BOOK BUSES OPERATE YEAR-ROUND, WHILE OTHERS PRIORITZE SERVICE OVER THE SUMMER, WORKING TO PREVENT SUMMER LEARNING LOSS. MANY ALSO PARTNER WITH LOCAL FOOD PROGRAMS AND HEALTH-CARE PROVIDERS, PROVIDING A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO OFFER WRAP-AROUND SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. DURING THE STOPS, EDUCATORS ON THE BUS READ ALOUD TO THE CHILDREN, LEAD READING WORKSHIPS TO PROVIDE FAMILIES WITH THE TOOLS TO HELP CHILDREN STRENGTHEN EARLY LITERACY SKILLS, AND GIVE AWAY BOOKS. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT TWO TO THREE MONTHS OF READING PROFICIENCY IS LOST FOR STUDENTS WHO DO NOT READ OVER THE SUMMER, CAUSING A STUDENT TO BE BEHIND IN ACHIEVEMENT GAINS FOR THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR. READING FOUR TO SIX BOOKS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO MITIGATE, STOP OR EVEN REVERSE "SUMMER SLIDE." BOOKS BUSSES FOSTER EARLY LITERACY AND WORK TO PREVENT THE "SUMMER SLIDE" IN STUDENTS. THE PROGRAM WAS LAUNCED IN 2018. FROM JULY 1, 2023- JUNE 30,2024, 122 SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE BEING SERVED BY 43 BOOK BUSES TRAVELING 10,000+ MILES AND DELIVERING OVER 250,000+ BOOKS TO FAMILIES. 187958 LAUNCHED IN 2021, THE SELECT PROGRAM AIMS TO BREAKDOWN SILOS, BUILD CONNECTIONS AND INCREASE VISIBILITY WITHIN THE EARLY LITEARCY LANSCAPE IN TN BY BRINGING TOGETHER THE STATE'S EARLY LITERACY LEADERS FOR A COLLABORATIVE CONVERSATION TO LEARN, CONNECT AND BUILD AWARENESS AROUND A SHARED VISION. THIS INITIATIVE AIMS TO BUILD BRIDGES BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH NETWORKING, LEARNING OPPORTUNITES AND RESOURCE-SHARING. THIS PRIVATELY FUNDED INITIATIVE HAD 130+ PARTNERS AS OF JUNE 2024. 51570 THROUGH OUR STORYBOOK TRAIL PROGRAM, GELF COLLABORATES WITH TENNESSEE STATE PARKS CONSERVANCY AND LOCAL PARKS TO CREATE OUTDOOR READING EXPERIENCE WHERE FAMILIES INTERACT THROUGH LITERACY AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. THIS PROGRAM PRESENTS A CHILDREN'S STORYBOOK ON CHILD-HEIGHT PANELS ALONG A SHORT TRAIL TO PROMOTE ADULT-CHILD INTERACTION AROUND BOOKS AND NATURE. EACH PANEL FEATURES A READING TIP TO ENCOURAGE FAMILY ENGAGEMENT BY BRINGING THE BOOK TO LIFE FOR CHILDREN. GELF'S STORYBOOK TRAIL PROGRAM NOW INCLUDE 64 TRAILS IN 47 TENNESSEE COUNTIES, INCLUDING LOCATIONS AT 24 STATE PARKS, 29 CITY PARKS, 10 LIBRARIES AND ONE BOTANICAL GARDEN AND ESTATE. 1181035 17890303 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 21 0 1 16 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 TN X X X DEAN HOSKINS 6153516184 710 JAMES ROBERTSON PARKWAY ANDREW NASHVILLE TN 37243 BRANDON GIBSON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DANIELLE BARNES SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DENNIE TORR BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DEBORAH REED BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER COLQUITT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 NANCY DISHNER CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 NICOLE WATSON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRYAN JONES BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES NICHOLSON VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JEFF BALLARD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 WILLIAM FRANKLIN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAKE BYNUM BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMIE WILDMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES POND PRESIDENT 37.50 X 188560 0 44816 DEAN HOSKINS VICE PRESIDENT 37.50 X 149293 0 30280 337853 0 75096 2 0 1 0 0 17459182 763644 18222826 1091835 1091835 9088133 9044386 43747 43747 43747 COUNTY REIMBURSEMENT 900099 3297142 3297142 3297142 22655550 3297142 0 1135582 25215 25215 579038 89260 188189 301589 772951 405780 140093 227078 36958 30846 1899 4213 86608 33407 20463 32738 95150 57090 38060 19954 19954 70061 70061 594478 317825 276653 29662 4034 21594 4034 110327 36408 37511 36408 63314 63314 137156 109725 6858 20573 76847 76847 9771 9771 81632 37265 23536 20831 READING PROGRAMS 7717695 7717695 BOOKS AND MAILING 7413209 7413209 EMPLOYEE-RELATED EXPENS 1261824 1261824 WORKSHOP EXPENSE 256735 256735 243683 93985 67855 81843 19682268 17890303 786005 1005960 11899493 10370145 142551 533520 22186 50062 7160 210 63094 41127 26926 21967 8805914 8537301 283225 316228 21187455 19829433 7212329 3910774 2125691 277187 9338020 4187961 X 0 0 26926 21967 11822509 15619505 11849435 15641472 21187455 19829433 2973282 818755 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 5149982 8983822 11373935 21144073 18222826 64874638 5149982 8983822 11373935 21144073 18222826 64874638 64874638 253130 170218 197119 477749 1091835 2190051 3453874 3498752 3087801 3254870 3297142 16592439 83657128 0.77550 0.74000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 63094 41127 21967 21967 DEFERRED INFLOWS RELATED TO PENSION 1427 DEFERRED CONTRIBUTIONS 259028 NET PENSION ASSET 16732 277187 23474306 818755 1 818756 22655550 0 22655550 19682271 3 3 19682268 0 19682268 PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: ROUNDING 1.
