I have been looking forward to posting this message for many months, forty-two in fact. Since the adoption of this measure in January of 2011, performance has increased by 40.3%, which equates to an overall performance improvement of 80.1%. 

This month, for the first time, I was able to present data in C-Stat that we have reached our goal of ensuring that 90% of all child abuse or neglect assessments throughout Colorado are closed within 60 days. This week, performance increased for the third consecutive week to an all-time high of 90.9% with 45 counties exceeding the goal. 
I want to thank all of our county partners and their staff for your tireless effort to protect Colorado's kids.  As you can see below, we've come so far!

This week Huerfano, Larimer, Montrose, and Pueblo counties noticeably improved on the measure:    
  • Huerfano improved from 87.5% last week to 100% this week;
  • Larimer improved from 78.6% last week to 82.4% this week;
  • Montrose continues to improve, improving from 80.0% last week to 100% this week;
  • Pueblo improved from 90.0% last week to 93.2% this week.
While our backlog of overdue assessments increased to 4.0% (a +0.8% change), several counties noticeably decreased their backlogs, including: Boulder (-6.6%) and Montezuma (-7.5%).
