Short Description:In the face of budget cuts that threaten to erode crucial supports for children and youth, some state agencies have found a promising mechanism for increasing efficiency while maintaining or even improving supports for young people: Children’s Cabinets (also known as councils or commissions).
Annotation:In the face of budget cuts that threaten to erode crucial supports for children and youth, some state agencies have found a promising mechanism for increasing efficiency while maintaining or even improving supports for young people: Children’s Cabinets. Children’s Cabinets are particularly important in lean fiscal years. States with a high-performing Children’s Cabinet and strong state agency leaders can eliminate duplication and ensure that every dollar designated for kids is well spent. Children’s Cabinets, sometimes known as councils or commissions, typically consist of the heads of state government agencies that support child- and youth-serving programs, including human service agencies. Children’s Cabinets are often established through executive order or statute. Members meet on a regular basis to coordinate services, develop a common set of outcomes, and collaboratively decide on and implement plans to foster the well-being of young people in their state. P-20 and P-16 Councils, as well as Early Childhood Councils, coordinate policy in a similar fashion.
