Our data collection is now complete! The results of our EDI data have been received and we are currently scheduling meetings with our local schools to report on EDI results.

Integrated report is in development! Our full report, one that integrates the EDI results and the results of the PIDACS, is currently in development. The results of this report will help our community in planning services and programs to more effectively support young children and their families. Check back regularly for more details about our report release date.
