San Diego County will release its own report card on the health and well-being of children and families who live here during the Board of Supervisors’ regular meeting at 9 a.m. today.

The report, produced in conjunction with the county by a local nonprofit called The Children’s Initiative, grades the county on 26 indicators measured over time. They include trends on topics like:

  • Mothers receiving prenatal care
  • Children living in poverty
  • School attendance rates
  • Obesity
  • Youth DUI arrests

The meeting will be in Room 310 at 1600 Pacific Highway. We’ll have more from the report after the meeting.
