Connected Editorial:

From Gaye Morris Smith, Executive Director
Family Connection Partnership, Inc.

Welcome to this issue of Connected. We are pleased to announce the recent national data release of the 2003 KIDS COUNT, a national and state-by-state effort to track the status of children in the United States.

The 2003 KIDS COUNT Data Book gives Georgia an overall rank of 41st among 50 states, based on a state-by-state study of 10 measures of child well-being. Over the past decade Georgia has improved in nine out of 10 areas; however, Georgia still ranks very low on many indicators. We must stay diligent in our efforts to see that we don't lose ground in the areas of improvements during the difficult budget years ahead.
