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. The Commission recently completed and approved its year-end report, providing a summary of the Commission's activities for Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-21. Today, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors is requested to receive the First 5 Commission of San Diego Annual Report for FY 2020-21.
This item supports the County of San Diego's 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 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."
