-We’ve seen higher increases in category 2 and 3 (not category 1)
-Rate of children placed in out-of-home care due to abuse or neglect down by 31%.
-Young children are at a higher risk of abuse/neglect and also of entering foster care.
-About half of children end up back home with their families—services are important
-As we saw earlier, nearly 30% of mothers are receiving less than adequate care, which directly impacts the rate of low-birthweight babies and infant mortalities
-No progress in low-birthweight babiessignificant disparities for African-American babies
-Progress in infant mortalities and somewhat closing of the gap for African-American infant mortalities, but still very significant gap and troubling signs for Hispanic babies
-Ingham 3 and 4-year olds in preschool: 43.5%
-Ingham ISD: 38.7% of 4-year olds are served by GSRP
-M-STEP reading scores peak in 3rd grade, still only 50% proficient.
-All other grades fell below 50% for ELA proficiency and declining math scores from less than 50% proficient down as the grade level increased
Adequately fund public schools targeting resources in high need areas;
Increase access to early developmental screenings and services, such as Early On;
Provide early interventions to improve third-grade reading;
-Ingham overall: 48.1% not proficient in third-grade reading (51.9% proficient)
