NORWALK, Conn. Connecting data to the needs of the community and using it to drive the questions, find the challenges, and enhance new ideas and solutions. That was the main theme of Norwalk ACTS quarterly meeting on Tuesday, which featured the unveiling of two data dashboards one on kindergarten preparedness and another on a breakdown of the Norwalk neighborhoods.
The different dashboards will be useful for all community partners, including the school district and policymakers, who can use the data to highlight needs and areas that need to be addressed, Norwalk ACTS Chief Executive Officer Jennifer Barahona said.
