We could work with Americorps and their funds. The Executive Committee should take some action according to the direction from the committees. Each committee recommended two action steps that are listed in the handout. We could see if we could push that closer together in a practical way. If there is an organizing factor there, then we could look at proposed legislation to actually reinforce it.
Education generally looks at the five superintendent's regions.
DCYS has district offices that are usually tied in with the Adult HHS district office, but not always. The thinking is very different in those environments. Some of this work has already been done through the Kids Count project. They actually did overlays at least two books ago and created their own new regions because they couldn't get the old regions to work together. We could look at this data and then determine if there is a strategy or legislation around which we would support new state action.
