New Report on Helping Black Children Thrive in Wisconsin

by | October 28, 2014

Home 9 Early Care and Education 9 New Report on Helping Black Children Thrive in Wisconsin ( Page 9 )

A new publication, Being Black is Not a Risk Factor, has been published by the Milwaukee Black Child Development Institute (BCDI).

Here is a summary from BCDI’s press release:
“Similar to the national report, the goal of the Wisconsin report is to provide data-rich information on how our children are doing, and to address the needs of state policymakers, principals, teachers, parents and others by highlighting successful programs and policies; identifying cutting-edge research about Black children’s strengths; and developing recommendations for a future research and policy agenda.”
I was pleased to provide one of the essays in the reports, focusing on the positive efforts of YoungStar and Milwaukee Succeeds.

The four proposals leave everyday families even further behind because none of these tax proposals effectively target families who are struggling to make ends meet.
