Santa Barbara Strategic Plan (2006-2011)

The proposed strategic plan for 2006-2011 is consistent with the focus and intent of the California Children and Families Act, builds on what has been learned and accomplished locally, and provides a framework for the Commission and the community for how Proposition 10 funds will be invested over the coming 6 years.

The strategic plan is organized by the four focus areas of: Child Health, Early Development & Education, Family Strengthening and Systems Improvement. Within each of these focus areas are the goals and outcomes—what the Commission would like to see happen for children, the strategies for how the Commission proposes to move towards these outcomes and indicators—how progress in achieving these outcomes will be measured. The goals, outcomes, strategies and indicators have been selected based on research, national best practices, local learning and community input. The evidence-based rationale is presented within each of the focus areas.
