January 2017 Report of the FEPPP Chief Administrative Officer By Tracy Godat I have been working on the following key projects. Below I will provide a description of work to date: Washington State Financial Education Standards Implementation; facilitator, monitor and update website; individual committee work; finalize database for multiple resources for FEPPP; monitor legislation from Representative Kilduff regarding HB 2662 and miscellaneous operating tasks. Additionally, I met with the new Superintendent Chris Reykdal and the new Chief of Staff, Jamila Thomas to discuss expectations of the partnership with FEPPP. Washington State Financial Education Standards Implementation: Much time was spent in the weeks leading up to the crosswalk work. Travel, lodging and meal arrangements were completed. I drafted talking points for the meeting as well as meeting objectives. I also coordinated with Judge Karen Overstreet to be a special guest speaker at the meeting. This meeting took place in Bellevue February 15 and 16. We assembled around 30 teachers from across the state and 9 OSPI content specialists. Meetings with the Standards Implementation Team have continued. There will be a new phase of work starting after the Crosswalk Committee has finished the first phase of work. Facilitator: I continue meeting with Gina Stark regarding upcoming community forums. Based on the transition of the new administration with the Treasurer s office, the contract process is currently on hold. Gina is able to continue the work as part of her current work assignment. The Treasurer s office has continued to support Gina to include FEPPP and our Community Conversations as part of her work assignment. We expect to have the Interlocal Agreement in place before the Bellingham Community Conversation which is March 21. Budget Reporting: I continue to work with OSPI and the Development Committee on FY 16/17 monthly reports. Individual Committee Work: Executive Committee - I have been facilitating the final legislative report drafts with the committee which included email quorum approval. I continue to prepare for the monthly Executive Committee meetings. I was able to meet with Representative Santos to give her an update on work of this committee. Education Committee We continue to receive curriculum review applications. I will continue to hand them over to the Education Committee for review. The Education Committee chair and I have worked closely with OSPI staff to prepare for the Crosswalk Committee meeting. The first phase of work was a success. We learned many things which will help with future phases of implementation. We recently made the selection for the FEPPP Financial Fellows. The training is March 14 and 15 in the Seattle area. We were unable to fill all ESD positions. We will try to find ways to focus training in those areas where we lacked qualified applicants. Development Committee ongoing updates to the budget reports as well as beginning plans for new Community Conversations. I have been working with Mark and Eric regarding fundraising. We recently received donations from both Harborstone Credit Union and Kitsap County Credit Union. Tracy will work with Julia to arrange for a meeting with Representative Santos to discuss potentially new stakeholders. The first of our westside Community Conversations is March 21. We will go with a more interactive agenda. Pam will attend and give the history of FEPPP. Mark will attend and present an opportunity to participate on committees, as stakeholders or contributors. Gina will close with a call to action. Communications Committee continue to work on web updates, upcoming conferences and newsletter. I will continue to send resource approval to the Communication Committee. I will also continue with the new member welcome emails. New FEPPP Database: Hired a part-time administrative assistant to work after hours building an access database. The database is ready for use. We expect to use this database to house information regarding training presenters, training participants, general members, partners, appointees and resources. We will also be able to see where contributions have come from.
HB 1425 Washington Next Generation Educational Savings Account: I continued to monitor this bill where FEPPP is called to action in section 2 (f) to make financial literacy information available to parents, guardians, and children in the pilot program. Miscellaneous Operating Tasks: Manage the FEPPP part-time administrative support as well as day to day tasks that need to be handled on behalf of FEPPP. I have been asked to continue meetings with Gil Mendoza who is temporarily over seeing CTE. I will also have bi-monthly meetings to update OSPI Chief-of-Staff, Jamila Thomas, on the work of FEPPP.
