New child data dashboard launched

Community Information Now (CI:Now)   (San Antonio)

October 2015

The United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County's Children's Issue Council child data dashboard has just been released!   You can find it at ReadyKidSA, a San Antonio coalition that builds on successful child and family programs to create a comprehensive early childhood system that promotes the social, emotional, physical and cognitive development of children 0-8 and provide parents and caregivers with the tools and resources to better support their families. 

The Children's Issue Council asked CI:Now to develop the dashboard to support area providers with data for use in planning, fundraising, and monitoring local progress. Council members themselves developed the “wish list” of indicators and asked that the dashboard appear online with ongoing updates rather than released annually as a print report. New data points – and possibly indicators as well – will be added as local data becomes available.
