Abstract	This report was developed by Minnesota Planning to help counties measure their progress toward meeting the Minnesota Milestones goals for social and educational services for children. The report card is composed of 21 indicators of children's well-being. Since the 1994 report card was released, Minnesota has made progress in eight areas (1) abused or neglected children; (2) births with no prenatal care; (3) students physically abused or who saw abuse; (4) sexually abused students; (5) family alcohol abuse; (6) sexually active students; (7) students involved in fighting; and (8) children receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children. Negative findings are associated with the following eight indicators: (1) runaways; (2) juvenile apprehensions; (3) children placed out of home; (4) twelfth-grade dropouts; (5) newborns, low birth weight; (6) mothers under 18; (7) students who drink and drive; and (8) students who smoke. There were mixed results for three indicators: (1) student alcohol use; (2) student attempted suicide; and (3) volunteering, and no change for one indicator, infant mortality. Data are currently unavailable for changes in the percentage of children in poverty. Trends between 1994 and 1996 are compared in this summary, and an average composite rank is compiled for each county. In addition, indicators are grouped around common themes for analysis, and the counties with the 10 top and bottom rankings are identified. (AA)
