Good morning, Council members.

It's great to see all of you.

I'm Jillian Jordan with City Education Partners.

I know you're discussing opportunity youth today, data specifically, and how visual visualization can help our community better understand and act on that information.

I wanted to make sure that you're aware of a resource we recently released with a similar goal for San Antonio's K through 12 landscape.

Yesterday we launched the San Antonio School Quality Explorer, a new interactive tool that makes school quality data easier to access, understand, and explore.

It brings the state's latest A through F accountability data into one place.

It allows users to look beyond a single letter grade to see how schools in our city are performing over time across systems and within different parts of our city, including your own districts.

That matters to the broader conversation happening here today.

The outcomes we see for young people are directly connected to how schools are performing over time, and connected to the educational experiences and opportunities available to them.

We provided a QR code, I'll pass that shortly that will take you directly to the explorer.

We hope you and your teams will spend time with data.

I'll save some more findings for tomorrow when our team plans to be back before the full council to share more about the momentum we're seeing across San Antonio.

Examples that demonstrate straight school turnaround is possible and where significant work remains.

Our goal is for this data not just to be published, but to be useful to both you and the constituents that you serve.

As this committee continues its work to better understand and respond to the opportunities and challenges facing our young people, City Education Partners looks forward to being a partner and resource in that work.

Thank you so much.

All right.

Thank you so much.

Really appreciate the comments and very excited to look at that data and see how we can make sure we collaborate in some way.

Thank you so much.

All right.

Moving to item number two, the Opportunity Youth Visualization Prototype.

And we'll go with Alice Lupin.

Thank you, Chair.

And I really want to appreciate all the staff that's here.

Um, the request was made that as we were reviewing different programs within the city of San Antonio, there was a lot of data that was being presented to the committee.

And the request was to see if there was a way that we could align and and um represent that data visually in a way that um showed maybe where there was opportunities where there was alignment with um specific populations where there was perhaps gaps.

And so that's the exercise that we've gone on.

Um as a reminder, also the first set of data that we were asked to really uh dive deeper into was opportunity youth.

So um again, the definition is just those individuals 16 to 24 years of age that are disconnected from both the workforce and from the formal education system.

And so on the next slide is that first map that we showed of where this population lives in relation to Bear County.
