REVIEW AND COMMENT ON THE FIRST 5 COMMISSION OF SAN DIEGO STRATEGIC PLAN JULY 2025 - JUNE 2030 (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
In November 1998, voters passed the California Children and Families Act (Proposition 10). The First 5 Commission of San Diego (Commission) uses revenue from voter-approved taxes on cigarettes and tobacco products to promote early childhood development for children ages zero to five.
In a public hearing on December 17, 2024, the Commission reviewed and adopted a new Strategic Plan for the time period July 2025 - June 2030. In accordance with the San Diego County Administrative Code Section 84.108(e), the San Diego County Board of Supervisors (Board) is required to review and comment on the new Strategic Plan. Today's action requests the Board to review and comment on the First 5 Commission of San Diego Strategic Plan July 2025 - June 2030.
This item supports the County of San Diego vision of a just, sustainable, and resilient future for all, specifically those communities and populations in San Diego County that have been historically left behind, as well as our ongoing commitment to the regional Live Well San Diego vision of healthy, safe, and thriving communities. This will be accomplished by seeking to improve early childhood health, learning, and development in the San Diego region as well as the Commission's long-term goal to ensure that "all children in San Diego County enter school ready to learn."
