Abstract | Located on the U.S.-Mexico border, the Rio Grande Valley is a place of rich culture and possibilities. However, on many indicators of children's health, education and financial security, the Valley is not doing as well as Texas overall, revealing a pattern of disinvestment in children's futures. In order to "raise the bar" in child well-being for all Rio Grande Valley area kids, Rio Grande Valley has to "close the gaps" in outcomes between children. Doing this means intentionally breaking down obstacles and creating equitable opportunities for good health, an excellent education, and economic security for every child. This is the only way to ensure the Rio Grande Valley's economic future is strong for both businesses and families. This Rio Grande Valley report is part of a larger series of reports in the Texas Kids Count project that focuses on equity in child well-being across Texas and in several of its major metro areas. [Texas Kids Count is a project of the Center for Public Policy Priorities. For the 2016 report, see ED582932.] (ERIC). |
