The 2006 Children’s ScoreCard provides both an op-portunity to highlight Los Angeles County’s progress inimproving the well-being o children, and an opportunity to reect on the rich 15-year history o the Children’sPlanning Council. We have learned that our attention todata and collaborative planning—at both the systems andcommunity level—has been integral to changing condi-tions or children and amilies. We have worked to de-velop partnerships, engage parents and youth, strengthenrelationships, and break out o our silos in order to moreeectively impact outcomes or children and amilies. And while we are proud o our progress, the data clearly tell us we have much more to learn and do.In all our eorts to improve the lives o children, our mostimportant lesson has been that communities—parents,residents, and youth—have the best knowledge, inorma-tion, and capacity to make long-term sustainable change.Through the powerul work o the CPC Service Planning Area Councils—all o which are engaged in community-building eorts—and the 64 community orums held dur-ing the summer o 2005, we learned that parents and youthare ready to partner with government; that L.A. County government is ready to embrace community partnerships;and that community groups are poised to act, to improveneighborhood conditions, and to serve as leaders and advo-cates or children and amilies.To build on our commitment to listen to the voices o community, in this anniversary edition o the ScoreCard we capture the knowledge and experiences o parents, resi-dents, and youth with available quantitative data to high-light two undamental prerequisites o child well-being:strong amilies and supportive communities. Indeed, it isonly in the context o the amily, and the amily in thecontext o community, that children can succeed. Specif-cally, we look at the supports that amilies need rom theircommunities in order to help their children live, learn,and grow optimally.•Where children LIVE illustrates the economic challengesacing amilies and the particular impact o housing con-ditions in the County.•How children LEARN ocuses on gaps and challenges with respect to early childhood opportunities and studentachievement, and the vital partnership between amiliesand schools necessary to close those gaps.•How children GROW describes how amilies provide so-cial and emotional oundations at home; the crucial im-portance o amilies having time and space to read, play,interact, and bond with their children; and the essentialsupports that communities oer so that amilies can suc-ceed in raising their children.In honor o CPC’s anniversary, we include in each section spe-cial mention o our accomplishments over the past 15 years. Asyou will read, we have LIVED in times o progress and timeso challenges; we have LEARNED tremendously through ourpartners and collaborators; and we have GROWN both per-sonally and organizationally in spirit and knowledge. As we look toward the next 15 years, we know we must beeven more strategic and ocused in our eorts to strengthenamilies and communities so that all children in Los AngelesCounty have the opportunity to live, learn, and grow toreach their highest potential. We hope you will join us.Honorable Zev Yaroslavsky Chair Yolie Flores AguilarChie Executive Ofcer
