The E-Accountability Foundation announces the

'A for Accountability' Award

to those who are willing to whistleblow unjust, misleading, or false actions and claims of the politico-educational complex in order to bring about educational reform in favor of children of all races, intellectual ability and economic status. They ask questions that need to be asked, such as "where is the money?" and "Why does it have to be this way?" and they never give up. These people have withstood adversity and have held those who seem not to believe in honesty, integrity and compassion accountable for their actions. The winners of our "A" work to expose wrong-doing not for themselves, but for others - total strangers - for the "Greater Good"of the community and, by their actions, exemplify courage and self-less passion. They are parent advocates. We salute you.

Winners of the "A":

Johnnie Mae Allen
David Possner
Dee Alpert
Aaron Carr
Harris Lirtzman
Hipolito Colon
Larry Fisher
The Giraffe Project and Giraffe Heroes' Program

Overview
LINK

In 1993, Texas KIDS COUNT began as an effort to evaluate child well-being in our state and explore the collective impact of policy change on Texas' children over time. Recognizing the necessity of quality information for sound policy making, we have assembled a comprehensive dataset across a wide range of topics relevant to Texas children and youth.

This site presents The State of Texas Children 2006, the latest in our annual series of reports detailing the status of Texas' children overall and in each county in the state. Each year these updated profiles accompany the release of the data book. The county profiles include every indicator maintained by the Texas KIDS COUNT project. The data profiles display values, ranks, and change over time, and provide users with a single-year snapshot of child well-being for Texas overall, and for each of Texas' 254 counties. To view a profile for Texas or a specific county, go to County Profiles.

To view a sample section from The State of Texas Children 2006, or to order the complete report, go to State Data Book.

To view data for a specific indicator over several years, go to the Community-Level Information on Kids (CLIKS) Interactive Database. Supported by the Annie E. Casey Foundation and maintained by Texas KIDS COUNT, CLIKS allows more targeted data queries about specific indicators, counties, or years from the Texas KIDS COUNT database. Using this powerful data tool, you can generate profiles for specific years, graphs of data over time, maps, or comparative rankings for the most current year of data for Texas or any individual county.

For more details about Texas KIDS COUNT data and other information resources, go to Help.

Thank you for your interest in the well-being of Texas' children. We hope you find The State of Texas Children 2006 report and this website to be indispensable resources for your work in supporting the children and families of Texas.
