The
Making it real: Engaging the community and getting results The Local Investment Commission (LINC), located in Kansas City, Missouri, exemplifies many of the ideas being discussed by the federal government and forward‐looking, innovative state governments.
Key points about LINC:
• Local citizens have a voice in how federal and state funds for Social Services are spent
• Successful operation for 17 years
• Over 2,100 volunteers
• Revenue‐neutral – uses existing money
• A LINC in each city would allow local citizens to see to it that money for those in need will be spent wisely and desired results will be achieved
• Dollars spent on LINC act as multipliers – every $1 spent leverages $8 in other state, federal and private funding
Government needs new ways to accomplish agreed‐upon public policy ends.
Our work represents an effective approach to delivering federal and state‐funded social services emphasizing development of community schools (caring for the whole child).
LINC carries out four critical functions:
1. Engaging, convening and supporting diverse groups and communities
2. Establishing quality standards and promoting accountability
3. Brokering and leveraging resources 4. Promoting effective policy measures and changes
LINC’s innovative approach to community‐level governance builds the skill and will necessary to make sustainable changes without requiring major new dollars.

We serve as an advisory group for Spanish-speaking families in the Independence School District, desiring to partner with others for the support of families and children. Our Vision Hispanic families in Independence schools are connected to resources and actively engaged in activities for the success of their children’s education. Our Mission We accomplish the vision through advocacy, education, resource connection, and programming.
Hispanic Advisory Council Independence School District
The Numbers. In Independence, MO, the Hispanic/Latino population has grown from 2% to 8% of the total population since 1990.
In the Independence School District, Hispanics comprise 12.3%
of students. In some schools, they comprise more than 23%.
549 students receive English Language Learning (ELL) services, a 275% increase since 2000.
More than 700 families receive translation services; 320 of the families are in the western schools.
What’s important to us? Our children’s safety and education How do we enjoy spending our time? Being with our families What do we want the community to know? We are here and ready to help. Let us know how; show us the way. What services do we use already? Language interpreters, Before & After School programs, student tutoring, Rosetta Stone, FAST, Neighborhood Networks, and more
Ground Rules 1. Start on time. End on time. 2. Have a “kitchen table” conver-
sation. Everyone participates. No one dominates.
3. Keep an open mind. Listen carefully to understand the views of those who disagree with you.
4. Help keep the discussion on track. Stick to the topic; try not to ramble.
5. It is okay to disagree, but not to be disagreeable. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
6. Have fun.
