Touching Minds, Shaping Futures (TMSF) XXIV
After School Program Staff Development Rockstars...Don't Stop Believing
 Touching Minds, Shaping Futures (TMSF) is a free, bi-annual professional development conference for before and after school program line staff, site supervisors, teachers and administrators. TMSF was coordinated to help meet the training needs of the San Diego after school community. TMSF XXIV “After School Program Rockstars…Don’t Stop Believing” was held on Saturday, November 19, 2011 at Horace Mann Middle School. This unique one day conference is designed to improve the quality of elementary, middle and high school before and after school programs in San Diego County.
 Respected and experienced presenters from the Becker Institute, CalSAC, Harmonium, Inc., !Mpact People, Jewish Family Services, MADD, Network for a Healthy California, SDCOE, SAY San Diego and the YMCA, conducted more than 25 individual workshops focusing on academics, educational and recreational enrichment, health/fitness/nutrition, gang prevention & awareness, program development/management and behavior management. A special site supervisor track was offered to share information about enhancing program development, maximizing staff leadership and establishing a positive climate for staff and students.
 In spite of cool temperatures and showers, more than 300 before and after school rockstars gathered together and joined in the eventful, interactive day. Throughout the day, staff received helpful programming resources, learned best practices, increased their skills set and knowledge base and learned easy to implement activities to share with their students.

2009
San Diego County Report Card on
Children and Families
The 2009 edition of the Report Card was released by the County Board of Supervisors on February 9, 2010. Supervisors Diane Jacob and Greg Cox introduced the agenda item releasing the Report Card to the Board. This new Report Card provides trend and comparative data illustrating the health and well-being of our children and families in the domains of health, education, welfare, and economic support. This Report Card will contain two new economic indicators added to better reflect the economic welfare of our county: use of Food Stamps and Poverty at 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. In addition we assess progress on previous recommendations for change, showing local successes. In response to community requests, the maps show data in more specific local detail.
The 2009 Report Card shows that progress was made for 14 indicators, including health coverage, oral health, school achievement, Food Stamps, child abuse, domestic violence and injuries. San Diego County performance is better than both California and the nation for rates of infant mortality, child mortality, breastfeeding, immunization, enrollment in early care and education, health coverage, and poverty. The Report Card also points out the need for increased efforts to reduce youth substance abuse, youth drinking and driving, and to increase rates of prenatal care.

Director, Paula Ingrum.
