For 37 years, the Kids Count Date Book has been measuring the state of kids, including everything from how they’re doing in things like math and reading to their economic well-being.

Ivy Smith-Walker is a policy associate with Idaho Voices for Children, and she joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the report.
