SparkPoint Schools:
Bringing Family Economic Success to
Community Schools
Two-Generation Approaches to Community Transformation
Nicole Harden, Program Specialist, SparkPoint– United Way of the Bay Area
Tifanie Morataya, Program Coordinator, Dover Elementary, SparkPoint Contra Costa
In 2010, our Board declared a bold goal.
To create pathways out of poverty, families need basic
needs, education, and jobs.
How does a poverty leader address education?
Community Schools
Community schools provide services and support to struggling families
so children can focus on school instead of troubles at home.

Poverty + Academic Performance
If poverty
would academic performance
?
There is very little existing research around this, except:
Negative Income Tax Experiments (1968-1982): Elementary school children
whose families enjoyed a 50% boost in family income from the program
exhibited higher levels of early academic achievement and school attendance
than children who did not.
Earned Income Tax Credit (1993-1997): A $1,000 increase in income raises
combined math and reading test scores by 6% of a standard deviation in the
short run. Test gains are larger for children from disadvantaged families.
2012 Bay Area Scan of Community schools
What we found:
Most community schools did not offer economic supports
for families (with the exception of one-off workshops, some
public benefits screening, VITA sites)
