WelcomeSouth Dakota KIDS COUNTMission

South Dakota KIDS COUNT supports the decision-makers, advocates, and the public to act towards the best interest of all of South Dakota’s children.

VisionSouth Dakota KIDS COUNT project will be the primary source for program and policy decisions to ensure all children in South Dakota have the resources they need to be healthy, educated, and safe.

Values• Quality, credible data are necessary to make responsible decisions about policy and resource allocation.

• All South Dakota children, regardless of race or ethnicity, deserve equal access to opportunity. Racial and ethnic outcome disparities are reduced or eliminated.

• The best outcomes for South Dakota’s children are achieved when multiple organizations and groups work together as partners.

Some Cautions for Using the Data Small numbers - Much of the data in the Factbook is calculated based on small

numbers of events i.e., child death rate, infant mortality rate. As the population base becomes smaller, as it does in many South Dakota counties, the number or percent may vary considerably from year to year. Understand the indicator - Rates are not reported for counties when the number

of events are too small to be meaningful. Some indicators are reported in numbers, some as percents and some as rates (rate per 1,000, or rate per 100,000). Read the data sources and definitions found at the beginning of each section. How to Perform Data Calculations is found on page 10. Time period - Data are based on different time intervals (e.g., state fiscal year, five-year

averages). The reader is cautioned to check each indicator. Again, check definitions and data sources to determine the exact time period being reported.

Accessing KIDS COUNT Data Each indicator section and county page can be accessed in portable document format (PDF) on the South Dakota KIDS COUNT website www.sdkidscount.org The Kids Count Data Center provides easy access to state, county, and regional data for indicators in the SD KIDS COUNT Factbook and other indicators not published in the Fatcbook.

South Dakota 2015 National Data Book RankingEconomic Well-Being (6 in the nation)

• Strengths: South Dakota improved in the percentage of children in households that spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing. Twenty percent of children live in such households, which is a significant improvement from 25 percent in 2008. • Challenges and Opportunities: The percentage of children in poverty (19 percent), and the percentage of children whose parents lack secure employment (25 percent) increased. The percentage of teens ages 16 to 19 not attending school and not working remained the same at 6 percent.

Education (32 in the nation)• Strengths: Even though the indicators in the Education domain worsened, South Dakota remained ranked 32nd in the nation. • Challenges and Opportunities: South Dakota had a high number (65 percent) of children ages 3 to 4 not attending preschool, along with 68 percent of fourth graders who scored below the proficient reading level. The number of eighth graders not proficient in math rose to 62 percent, and high school students not graduating on time increased to 17 percent.

Health (20 in the nation)• Strengths: South Dakota’s greatest improvement was in the Health domain, with its ranking moving from 33 to 20 in the last year. Ranked first in the nation, the percentage of teens who abused alcohol or drugs dropped to 5 percent. The state ranked second in the percentage of low-weight babies at 6.3 percent, which is almost 2 percent lower than the nation. The number of children without health insurance dropped from 8 percent to 6 percent. • Challenges and Opportunities: Child and teen deaths in South Dakota worsened slightly from 34 to 35 deaths per 100,000, ranking the state 46th in the nation.

Family and Community (23 in the nation)• Strengths: South Dakota improved in two indicators of the Family and Community domain. The percentage of children living in high-poverty areas dropped from 11 percent to 10 percent. Teen births improved significantly from 39 in 2008 to 29 per 1,000. • Challenges and Opportunities: Seven percent of South Dakota children are in families where the household head lacks a high school diploma. That number remained the same from 2008-2013. The percentage of children in single-parent families is 33 percent, an increase of 3 percentage points since 2008.

Example: Rate=(number in sub-group / number in whole group) x multiplier (number of teen deaths in South Dakota, 2014 [29] / number of children ages 15-19 in South Dakota [57,823]) x multiplier.

29 / 57,823 = 0.0005015 x 100,000 = 50.15 or rounded to 50.2

The teen death rate for South Dakota in 2014 was 50.2 per 100,000 teens ages 15-19.

Rates can also be obtained per month or per day. For 2014 the figures for live births would show:

12,279 births /12 months = 1,023 live births per month in South Dakota

12,279 births / 365 days = 34 live births per day in South Dakota

Percent ChangeChange from one time period to the next can be calculated. This is called the ‘percent change’. It is calculated in the following manner: (newer year number - older year number) / older year number x 100

Example: 2010 population under age 20 in South Dakota = 226,740 (newer number) 2000 population under age 20 in South Dakota = 234,385 (older number)

( 226,740 - 234,385 ) = - 7,645 -7,645 / 234,385 = -.00326 x 100 = - 3.26% or rounded to 3.3%

This figure indicates that between 2000 and the 2010 the number of children under age 20 decreased by about 3%.

There are numerous computations in this report that involve rates, percentage, and percent change over time. Many of these calculations are similar. The one that is used depends on what one wants to say about the data. Basically, each of these calculations involves dividing one piece of data by another.

Percentage A ‘percentage’ means one part in one hundred. Ten percent means 10 out of 100. To calculate a percent, divide the number in a subgroup (or smaller number) by the number in the total group and multiply by 100.

Example: Percent=(number in subgroup / number in whole group) (number of births to single teens in South Dakota, 2014 [683]) / (number of all live births in South Dakota [12,281] ) x 100.

683 / 12,281 = 0.0556 x 100 = 5.56% About 6% of live births in South Dakota, in 2014, were to single teens (single females under age 20).

Rate A rate is simply the number of things per some other number, usually 100, 1,000 or other multiples of 10. A percentage is a rate - per 100. Depending on the size of the subgroup, a rate greater than 100 is often used. This is the case in health statistics such as infant mortality, child death, etc. To calculate a rate you need three pieces of information: (1) the total group number, (2) the number in the sub group and (3) the ‘per’ number—per 1,000, 10,000, or 100,000. The per number is your multiplier.

Information and limitations of the health data:

Mortality and death rates are calculated by taking the number of deaths in any given category, dividing it by the total number of individuals in that category, and multiplying by 1,000 or 100,000 (whatever number is chosen).

Total death

_____________ x 1,000

Population Base

A percentage is calculated using the same formula only multiplied by 100.

As the population base becomes smaller, as it does in many counties in South Dakota, statistical variation becomes more prominent and more prone to anomalies. For example, let's say a county has 2 infants die out of 85 live births. If we divide 2 by 85 and multiply by 1,000 we get an infant mortality rate of 24 per 1,000. If the next year only 1 infant dies out of 85 live births, the infant mortality rate would be 12. This so-called large decrease is a result of statistical variation and the magnitude of the drop is exaggerated because of the use of a base of 1,000.

Infant deaths x 1,000 2 _____ x 1,000 =0.0235 x 1,000 = 24 per 1,000 Population Base 85

In an attempt to minimize chance variations five-year averages are used. Despite these precautions, in the most sparsely populated counties, using 5 year averages still will not reduce chance variation significantly for some of the indicators due to the small number of events. A rate or percent is not calculated for those counties where the event number is below 3.

How to Interpret Health Data

The standard error (SE) of a rate is used in health statistics when studying or comparing rates. The SE defines a rate's variability and can be used to calculate a confidence interval (CI) to determine the actual variance of a rate 95% of the time. Rates for two different populations are considered significantly different when their confidence intervals do not overlap.

The Fall River County percent of births to single teens was 11% for 2010-14. The 95% confidence interval [CI] is 3.86%. This was based on 31 births to single teens out of 283 total live births in the county. Fall River County's percent of births to single teens is significantly different than the South Dakota rate. This is because the confidence intervals for Fall River County (7.1% to 14.8%) do not overlap the state's (6.5% to 7.0%). In other words, Fall River County's percent of births to single teens falls outside of the state's confidence interval and the percentages are higher than the state's making Fall River County's rate worse than the state's average.

The 95% confidence interval [CI] for Clay County is 1.67%. The percent of low birthweight babies was 5.5%. The percent of low birthweight babies for Clay County (based on 41 low birthweight babies for 2010-14 out of 750 total live births) is not significantly different from South Dakota because the percent of low birthweight babies for Clay County (3.8% to 7.1%) overlap the state's (6.2% to 6.6%). In other words, Clay County's percent of low birthweight babies falls within the state's confidence interval making Clay County's rate the same as the state's average.

The 95% confidence interval [CI] for Bennett County was 2.07%. The percent of low birthweight babies is 3.9%. The percent of low birthweight babies for Bennett County (based on 14 low birthweight babies during 2010-14 out of 355 total live births) is significantly different from South Dakota because the percent of low birthweight babies for Bennett County (1.9% to 6.0%) do not overlap the state (6.2% to 6.6%). In other words, Bennett County's percent of low birthweight babies does not fall within the state's confidence interval and the percentages are lower than the state's making Bennett County's rate better than the state's average.

Data Source: TANF/SNAP/Medicaid participation are from the South Dakota Department of Social Services. The years are for state fiscal years (July 1 - June 30). Data of 5 or fewer cases are not shown to avoid disclosure of information for particular individuals The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps) benefits are provided to supplement the shopping recipient’s food budget. The amount of benefits a household receives is based on its size, income and allowable expenses.

Child CareInternet site: http://dss.sd.gov/childcare/

Data Source: Child Care Services Assistance Program, Department of Social Services.

Types of Regulated Child Care: Family Child Care Home - Registered: South Dakota law defines a Family Child Care Home as one in which care is given on a regular basis for any part of a 24 hour day to 12 or less children from more than one unrelated family. This includes any children under the age of six who are living in the home. Family child care is a service provided in the provider's home.

Family child care providers are registered rather than licensed. Registration is a voluntary process where the applicants declare their intent to provide family child care and agree to comply with standards that have been established by the Department of Social Services. A registration certificate is in effect for two years. Registration is legally mandated when a provider receives compensation from public funds. Providers who are not receiving reimbursement from public funds and caring for 12 or fewer children are exempt from registration. A registered family child care provider must be at least 18 years old.

Group Family Child Care Home - Licensed: South Dakota law defines a Group Family Child Care Home as a facility providing child care for a part of a day as a supplement to regular parental care for 13 to 20 children from more than one family, including the provider's own children who are under the age of six years. A group family child care home may be located in the provider's own home or in a separate facility. Group family child care homes are mandated by law to be licensed regardless of funding source.

Child Care Center - Licensed: South Dakota law defines a Child Care Center as a facility which provides child care for part of a 24-hour period to 21 or more children from one or more unrelated families, including the provider’s own children under the age of 6 years, regardless of the source of income. A child care center may be located in the provider’s own home or in a separate facility. Child care centers are mandated by law to be licensed regardless of funding source. A child care center may be operated as a nonprofit organization or as an independent, proprietary facility.

Before & After School Care Center: Provides care and supervision before and after school hours for children who are five years of age or older and enrolled in school. Before & After School Care Center providers serve only school-age children and may be providing care for either part of

a day or full-time during school breaks. These centers are required to become licensed regardless of the funding source or location of the program. Centers are inspected each year. The exemption to this requirement is if the after school program is providing educational or recreational activities for children who come and go at their own discretion.

Funding Categories Available for Child Care Assistance: TANF Child Care: Provides payment of child care expenses for TANF families in approved work activities, which includes community service. Families must be receiving cash TANF benefits. No co-payment is required.

Non-TANF Assistance: Available for low-income families who work or work and attend school. Families may earn up to 175% of the federal poverty level and still be eligible. Families must be working or in school a minimum of 80 hours per month or if attending a college, university or technical institute a minimum of 15 semester credit hours is required. No minimum hours are required for high school or GED students. Co-payment is based on family size and adjusted gross family income.

Transitional Child Care (TCC): Provides 12 months of child care payments for families whose TANF case closes because of income. May earn up to 175% of the federal poverty level and still be eligible. Co-payment is based on family size and adjusted gross household income.

The Division of Child Care (CCS) at the South Dakota Department of Social Services has a number of responsibilities that include funding, training and technical assistance for registered and licensed child care providers; child care facility development in response to local community needs. In addition, CCS provides direct child care assistance payments for qualifying families; a statewide training delivery system for child care providers; and the licensing and registration of child care programs as authorized by SDCL 26-6.

Licensing of Child Care Programs: Individuals or corporations who provide child care for more than 12 children are required by South Dakota law to be licensed. South Dakota Codified Law 26-6-9 requires licensure (regulation) of all child welfare agencies (including child care centers, group family child care homes and before-after-school programs) by the Department of Social Services. South Dakota Codified Law 26-6-16 authorized the Department to develop standards of child care to be used for the regulation of these agencies. Child care licensing is a means of reducing the risk of harm to children in child care settings by establishing and enforcing regulations that require maintenance of minimum standards. Licensing is a form of consumer protection. Without licensing to achieve compliance with states regulations children would be at higher risk from fire, unsafe buildings and play equipment, injury, disease, and developmental impairment. In addition to prevention efforts, licensing workers also offer consultation to providers to help them increase quality of care beyond the minimum standards.

Direct Child Care Assistance: South Dakota families with incomes below 175% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), families receiving TANF benefits and those transitioning off TANF may apply for financial assistance to help pay their child care costs. Eligibility for the program is based on household size and gross monthly income. A sliding fee scale is used to determine the amount of reimbursement and co-payments for each family. Families receiving child care assistance generally choose a provider who is licensed or registered (regulated) by the state. If a family chooses a provider who is unregulated by the state, certain criteria must be met, such as TB testing, screening for child abuse and neglect, and basic training. Unregulated providers can be a close relative, a family friend, or someone who provides care in the home of the family requesting assistance. Unregulated providers are limited in the number of children they

may care for and the amount of reimbursement they can receive. All providers must be 18 years old.

Training and Education-Early Childhood Enrichment (ECE): This program was established in 1998, to meet the growing need for early childhood and out-of-school-time (OST) training and to assist CCS in efforts to recruit and retain quality child care providers across South Dakota. Five ECE sites are located throughout the state to offer a variety of accessible services that support child care providers, teachers, parents and others involved in the care and education of children. ECE programs offer provide ongoing training, education, technical assistance and coaching opportunities to help licensed or registered child care providers meet mandated training requirements and to improve overall program quality. Registered family child care homes are required to obtain 6 hours of training each year; licensed group child care facilities are required to obtain 10 hours of training each year; licensed child care centers are required to obtain 20 hours of training each year. By offering this unique blend of direct services and expertise, the ECE system helps to ensure children receive quality care in an enriched learning environment.

Safety Indicators

Juvenile Offense Referrals Internet site: http://ujs.sd.gov/ Data Source: Court Services Department of the South Dakota Unified Judicial System.

Definitions: The figures represent the number of youth under 18 years of age who are referred to the Unified Judicial System (UJS) by the states attorneys. Numbers are for the county in which apprehension took place and represent the number of cases rather than individuals. In other words, if a child was referred to UJS for several different offenses, he or she would be counted several different times. Juvenile informational complaints may be filed with the states attorney by law enforcement officials, parents, court services officers (alleged probation violations), and others. The states attorney may decide to file a formal petition, refer the case to a court services department for a 90-day informal adjustment, refer the case to a private agency approved by the court, or take no action.

Commitments to Department of CorrectionsInternet site: http://ujs.sd.gov/Data Source: Court Services Department of the South Dakota Unified Judicial System.

Definition: The total number of juveniles committed to the Department of Corrections during the reporting period. The figure includes youth who have had multiple petitions committing them to the Department of Corrections with separate dispositional dates during the reporting period. Figures are by county, which means the county of record in which the judge conducted the adjudication and dispositional proceedings. It can be county of residence or the county where the offense occurred.

Child Abuse & Neglect Internet site: http://dss.sd.gov/childprotection/Data Source: Department of Social Services, Child Protection Services. Child Protection Services is a division of the South Dakota Department of Social Services which: 1) Completes safety assessments of children who arereported as abused and neglected;2) Assures provision of services to the children andfamilies when safety of the children is a concern;3) Provides reunification services to children andfamilies when out-of-home placements of the childrenare necessary; and4) Provides services to develop permanent placementsfor children in out-of-home placement when efforts toreturn the children to their family are not successful. Child Protection Services responds to reports of suspected child abuse or neglect involving a parent, guardian or custodian through a process referred to as an Initial Family Assessment. An Initial Family Assessment is a neutral approach to gathering information and a thorough family centered evaluation of child maltreatment and family functioning. Upon the completion of the Initial Family Assessment, Child Protection Services must determine whether abuse or neglect has occurred and whether the child is safe or unsafe in the home due to the existence of threats to child safety. Threats to child safety may exist in a family situation even if abuse and neglect has not yet occurred. When threats to child safety require court ordered out-of-home placement, the first goal considered is

reunification of the child with the parents. Child Protection Services provides services to improve the ability of the parent to safely care for their child. Child Protection Services has responsibility for developing a permanent placement if the court determines the parents are not able to make the changes necessary to safely provide for their child making reunification with the parents no longer an option,. Those p ermanent placement options are adoption, guardianship with a relative or non-relative family or other permanent living arrangement.

Admission to Drug orAlcohol Treatment Programs Internet site: http://dss.sd.gov/behavioralhealth

Data Source: The South Dakota Department of Social Services, Behavioral Health Services.

Definition: Admissions include youth under 18 years of age who received state accredited alcohol and drug services ranging from crisis intervention to structured treatment programs. The p erson i s c ounted o nce f or every program in which the client participated. However, if a person was admitted to the same program more than once, he or she is only counted once. Admissions include both residential and outpatient treatment programs. Admission totals may include juveniles who are counted more than once if they received services at different programs. The reason for this is because the system does not track clients by a common identifier but by facility. Although the possibility of a client being counted more than once exists, it is probably uncommon.
