2015 Ready by 21 State Policy Survey

The 2015 Ready by 21 State Policy Survey: Child and Youth Policy Coordinating Bodies in the U.S. is the nation’s only survey of state child and youth policy coordinating bodies (e.g., children’s cabinets, early childhood councils and P-20/P-16 education councils.) The survey assesses coordinating bodies in the areas of partnerships, goals, data, accomplishments and challenges. This biennial survey was conducted first in 2011 and then again in 2013 and 2015, in hopes that the decisions, lessons and experiences it documents can serve as tools for state leaders and coordinating bodies.
