Julia Steiny: A major data tool for parents and policymakers

Julia Steiny: A major data tool for parents and policymakers

More good news: Rhode Island has built an innovative data tool that is a data junkie’s dream, but also a source of reports and stories that are so easy to click through non-techies will find many information treasures. The goal is to put useful data in the hands of parents, the public and policymakers so they can finally see a landscape of information about kids, combined from different agencies and sources.

    "it would take you forever to find that data another way." “succinct, data-based explanations of key issues.” “a tour-de-force of data integration.” “Policymakers, program planners and grants writers can use the HUB to demonstrate where to target scarce public resources and explain the data-driven rationale behind policy decisions. With the proper clearance, the HUB is a researcher’s paradise.”

    Fabulous IF this can end the whims of corrupt social workers, and support birth family unity.
