The 2020 legislative session is well underway. Keeping abreast of legislation that affects the issues you care about can be daunting. Both Voices for Utah Children and United Way are excellent sources of legislation trackers for issues affecting early childhood. The Early Childhood Alliance is also tracking several bills this year and our Advocacy and Community Outreach Task Force is meeting next Wednesday, February 26 at 4 p.m. in room 101 of the Park City Library.

Come join us and help advocate for early childhood. Speak up for those who can’t speak for themselves.

Increasing school readiness is one of the primary goals of the Early Childhood Alliance. Recent data provided by the Utah State Board of Education show that there are opportunities to improve literacy and numeracy proficiency in the Park City, South Summit, North Summit, and Wasatch school districts, particularly for minority, low-income, and English language learner students.

The graphics above display the percent of students proficient in Literacy and Numeracy on the School Year 2019 KEEP Exit disaggregated by student groups. Students at Park City, North Summit, South Summit, and Wasatch School District were examined. USBE does not release an n-size group less than 10 so North & South Summit District were combined to form a large enough group of Low Income and Minority Students. Wasatch District students were added to the English Language Learner group to provide a large enough n-size for this demographic.
