On the release of the report, County Superintendent Garth Lewis states: "This document is not just a collection of data and insights. It serves as a guide to ensure a future of thriving for children and youth. Our vision for the Roadmap to the Future is bold and straightforward: Every child or youth born, cared for, or educated in Yolo County receives an advantage because of the community’s response to their educational and developmental needs."
The Roadmap to the Future Needs Assessment has been released! The document is a foundational component of a multi-year communitywide effort to build on Yolo County's history of collaborating to achieve important goals.
The Yolo County Office of Education with support from Consero Solutions produced the Needs Assessment with WestEd. We encourage the community to actively engage with the document, to reflect on its findings, and to discuss them with your networks. Read the report at ycoe.org/roadmap.
