The 2006 Children’s ScoreCard provides both an opportunity to highlight Los Angeles County’s progress in improving the well-being of children, and an opportunity to reflect on the rich 15-year history of the Children’s Planning Council. We have learned that our attention to data and collaborative planning—at both the systems and community level—has been integral to changing conditions for children and families. We have worked to develop partnerships, engage parents and youth, strengthen relationships, and break out of our silos in order to more effectively impact outcomes for children and families. And while we are proud of our progress, the data clearly tell us we have much more to learn and do. (Authors)
