Since 2011, we have held ourselves publicly accountable by measuring and reporting key educational and living wage indicators through our annual Dallas County Scorecard.
This focus expanded with our adoption of the aspirational goal of the Opportunity 2040 Plan: putting 150,000 additional Dallas County students on the path to true economic mobility by 2040. This plan emerged as Commit and the Child Poverty Action Lab (CPAL) recognized the need to accelerate our collective efforts and track additional indicators to ensure successful economic and educational outcomes.
