Solano rates poorly for education in statewide scorecard – Daily Republic

By Todd R. Hansen

Solano County rates poorly in the education of its children, and only slightly better in the categories of health and of child welfare and economic well-being, according to an Oakland-based research and advocacy group.

“Leaders across California need to take a hard look at the scorecard data and work together on policy solutions to improve the well-being of children,” Ted Lampert, president of Children Now, said in a statement released with the report Tuesday.

“We need to invest more in quality early childhood programs, increase access to the health screenings and quality mental, oral and physical health supports that children need, and make sure that all kids, especially kids of color, have access to excellent schools and teachers from the very start,” Lampert said.
