Inyo County California

In November 1998, California voters passed Proposition 10, the "Children and Families Act of 1998." Its intent was to facilitate the creation and implementation of an integrated, comprehensive, and collaborative system of information and services to enhance optimal early child development, and to ensure that children are ready to enter school and reach their full potential.

The Inyo County Children and Families Commission was created in 1999 by the Inyo County Board of Supervisors to carry out the work of Proposition 10 in the county.
