As of year end, NAFSCE had no unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions in its information return that would qualify for either recognition or disclosure in its financial statements. NAFSCEs policy would be to recognize interest and penalties on tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. Through year end, there have been no matters that would have resulted in an accrual for interest and/or penalties.Generally, the tax years before 2019 are no longer subject to examination by federal, state, or local taxing authorities.

Over the spring and summer of 2021, NAFSCE co-hosted with the US Department of Education webinars focused on reopening schools, first to the FSCE field (5/21), followed by the USDEs largest webinar to parents (7/21) securing more than 4,000 registrants. In 2022, NAFSCE advanced policy priorities for establishing a federal Office of Family Engagement, as well as the establishment of a National Parents and Families Engagement Council, both housed at the US Department of Education. NAFSCE is a member of advisory groups to both the US Department of Education, as well as the US Department of Health and Human Services - Administration for Children and Families. In 2022, NAFSCE also advanced what it has entitled the Healing the Growing Divide initiative to constructively address the current national and politically motivated narrative that it states misrepresents family engagement.

Not only does FSCE lead to improved student achievement, it strengthens our schools and communities. Yet the current climate of school reform continues to de-prioritize, if not disregard the importance of engaging families and community. Professionals responsible for this important work frequently are isolated and wear multiple hats. Teachers, who bear a primary responsibility for contact with families, reveal that reaching families is their number one challenge and the area where they feel least prepared. Few national organizations have FSCE as a priority, and those that do, are not designed or positioned to build and strengthen the field.Despite the obstacles, FSCE is increasingly recognized as an essential element of child development programs and a significant lever for school improvement and efforts to reduce the achievement gap. Taking the next step to broad acceptance and implementation, however, requires a coordinated effort dedicated to transforming the conversation of FSCE, as well as linking and supporting various stakeholders, including parents, teachers, administrators, researchers, and policymakers who are committed to developing effective policies, programs, and practices. The National Association for Family, School, and Community Engagement (NAFSCE), founded in September 2014, provides the necessary platform for advancing high impact practices, promoting evidence-based policies, building capacity and leadership in the field, and upholding family, school and community engagement as a core strategy for supporting child development, student achievement, and school improvement. It achieves its goals through a professional membership program, a member online community, various Communities of Practice, 15 webinars annually, robust websites (nafsce.org, famengage.org and family math.org), a resource center containing best practices and policies, as well as virtual and on-site special events including its new annual conference entitled the National Assembly for Family Engagement in Education. NAFSCE also convenes various stakeholder groups to advance initiatives in educator preparation, family math, parent voice and father engagement, as well as within the planning of its National Assembly. In 2021, NAFSCE established its national Center for Family Math.Based on its 2017-2023 Strategic Framework, NAFSCE is pursuing strategic initiatives that address the systemic obstacles to the advancement of FSCE policy and practice. These strategic initiatives partner with some of the premier national education organizations. NAFSCEs State Capacity Building Initiative in partnership with the Council for Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), supported 18 State Education Agencies (SEAs) in the development of birth through grade 12 family engagement frameworks, including establishment of statewide coalitions to support and sustain the effort. NAFSCE has advanced educator preparation in family engagement through first establishing national education association partnerships with the National Education Association (NEA), Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP), American Association for Colleges of Teacher Education (AACTE) and MAEC. Together they convened SEAs and Educator Preparation Programs which resulted in the development and launch of an Educator Preparation Framework for Family and Community Partnerships, followed by a grant initiative nationally to implement and innovate select strands within the framework. NAFSCE developed and advances a narrative focused on aligning experts, policy makers, practitioners and the general public around effectively communicating the essence of FSCE, through conducting research with FrameWorks Institute regarding current messaging, as well as providing recommendations for new messaging that supports better understanding by the general public leading to policy advancement. In advancing this work, in 2019 NAFSCE established the National Alliance for Family Engagement, comprised of 22 national organizations with a focus on advancing family engagement. In 2020 it began conducting Reframing Institutes, primarily within states and in 2021 developed and currently implements online Reframing Academies for states, communities, and its members, to build capacity of stakeholders around effective FSCE messaging. NAFSCE advances Family Math (FM) thru its 2020 establishment of its national Center for Family Math (CFM). It hired its inaugural Director in 2021, completed a strategic plan and branding for the center in 2022 and has convened new stakeholder groups including its FM National Alliance, FM Parent Advisory Committee, FM Research Consortium and FM Fellows Network. Through all of these programs and initiatives, NAFSCE has made significant progress in its goal for sustained impact and growth as a young organization now approaching its tenth year (in September 2024). Over these past years, NAFSCE officially spun off as a not-for-profit association, completed a comprehensive planning and stakeholder engagement initiative resulting in a strategic plan and aligned business plan, raised more than $13 million, secured over 3,000 paid individual and organizational members, and as mentioned above, is implementing strategic and systemic initiatives to transform FSCE policy and practice. The association continues to make marked progress in diversifying its revenue through foundation grants, contracts, corporate sponsorships, conference fees and member dues. NAFSCE continues to build the capacity of its organization through a staff totaling eight full-time positions: Vito Borrello- Executive Director (9/14); Reyna Hernandez- Senior Director of Research and Policy Development (6/18); Sherri Wilson- Senior Director of Engagement and State Partnerships (9/19); Fred Ji- Senior Manager of Communications (5/21); Shawn Harris- Director of Finance and Operations (5/22); Shanice Johnson- Program and Operations Coordinator (12/22); Dr. Holly Kreider- Director of Family Math (10/23); and Michelle Booth- Director of Strategic Communications (12/23). It is currently recruiting for two additional positions as follows: Research and Policy Associate, and Manager of Programs, both expected to be hired by summer 2024. The Association also engages consultants, including Margaret Caspe- Senior Research Consultant, who provides expertise in advancing NAFSCEs work in Educator Preparation and Credentialing. Additionally, NAFSCE hosts paid graduate student-level fellows and paid interns annually.NAFSCE has greatly enhanced engagement in its programs and services by members and the broader field. Its online NAFSCE newsletter has a reach of over 30,000 within the field and readership approaching 50% or 15,000 readers per month. Its webinars regularly achieve average registration exceeding 1,000 per webinar. NAFSCE has also increased its policy presence over its nine-plus years as an association. In 2015-2016, it provided feedback, testimony and a field-wide webinar regarding the USDE/HHS Interagency Policy Board Family Engagement Statement from the Early Years through the Early Grades. The Association provided written comments on the Head Start Program Performance Standards in summer 2015. NAFSCE also provided a strong presence regarding the advancement of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), through presenting at a USDE Regional Conference in Washington, DC (January 2016), through written feedback regarding non-regulatory guidance for the legislation (January 2016), followed by an April 2016 webinar explaining the potential impact of this legislation to family engagement. In 2018, NAFSCE advocated for increased Afterschool Program funding, federal appropriations for Statewide Family Engagement Centers (SFECs), followed by providing feedback to the US Department of Education in support of language to be provided in SFEC requests for proposals. Since late 2018, it has provided technical assistance through subcontracts with several of the SFECs and through a Professional Development Series to all SFECs (in collaboration with the National Center for Families Learning). In August 2020, NAFSCE released recommendations on School Re-opening in addressing COVID-19 and in May 2021 released a report on the effectiveness of Statewide Family Engagement Centers, as a tool to advance narrative for increasing federal resources to enable an SFEC in every state. Over the spring and summer of 2021, NAFSCE co-hosted with the US Department of Education webinars focused on reopening schools, first to the FSCE field (5/21), followed by the USDEs largest webinar to parents (7/21) securing more than 4,000 registrants.
