Start here
Two questions, then a written answer with the next step and a person to reach. Every answer on this page was written for one kind of visitor, so nobody has to translate a general one into their own situation.
If you need Idaho numbers I can cite
The Idaho Needs Assessment Report is the statewide picture of what families and children need, and the 2024 Annual Report carries the year’s program and financial detail. Both are published documents you can quote directly rather than a summary of a summary.
If you need to see the work in my district
The collaboratives are organized by region and named for their towns, so you can point to the one in your district by name. Several publish their own strategic action plans, which show what local partners decided to do with what they had.
Next step
If you need a person to call
Sheralynn Bauder is Director of External Relations and is the right first call for legislative questions. Early Learning Day at the Capitol is the annual occasion when advocates and partners come to the Statehouse, and it is the easiest place to meet several collaboratives at once.
If none of that fit
The search box at the top of every page covers each program, collaborative, event, published report, and staff listing on this site. A question typed into it gets an answer with the sources under it.
