# Coordination With Other Agencies

The Department of Education (ED) recognizes the importance of unlocking
the potential for more effectively achieving and sustaining our goals by
coordinating with other agencies and organizations. The Government
Accounting Office (GAO) has noted that we are making strides to improve
interagency coordination (July 1999). However, GAO also notes that the
Department needs "to continue to improve its coordination with the other
agencies that provide educational services and engage in cross-cutting
efforts" (January 1999). We have initiated a dual-level strategy for
increasing our coordination. At the office level within ED, we encourage
staff to develop collaborations by asking them to report annually on
their collaboration efforts in this report and in their performance
reviews. At the agency level, we are beginning to identify long-term
strategic opportunities for coordination with agencies, such as Health
and Human Services (HHS), that provide services to the same citizens we
do and often measure similar outcomes. We are working to strengthen our
coordination in three areas:

-   State governments

-   Nongovernmental organizations and businesses

-   Other Federal agencies

Each of these areas has the potential to improve and increase the number
of available services to citizens, reduce redundancies and
inefficiencies in the provision of Federal services, improve DQ, and
increase the long-term achievement of goals.

**Coordination with state governments.** State departments of education
often share the same objectives and outcome data requirements as the
Federal Department of Education. ED is looking for new ways to
coordinate with states in these domains. Two strategies ED has adopted
are (1) to decrease regulations while increasing accountability for
results and (2) to target areas for data coordination and data
harvesting.

The Education Flexibility (Ed-Flex) Partnership Demonstration Program is
an example of ED\'s efforts to reduce regulations and increase
accountability. Ed-Flex was established by the Goals 2000: Educate
America Act and provides greater state and local flexibility in using
Federal education funds to support locally designed, comprehensive
school improvement efforts. Ed-Flex gives partnership states the power
to waive requirements of certain Federal education programs, including
the Title I program and the Eisenhower Professional Development program.
Specifically, Ed-Flex allows the Secretary of Education to delegate, to
a maximum of 12 states, the authority to waive certain Federal statutory
or regulatory requirements affecting the state and local school
districts and schools. A state that has developed a comprehensive school
improvement plan that has been approved by the Secretary may apply for
Ed-Flex. In addition, a state applying for Ed-Flex must have the
authority to waive its own statutory or regulatory requirements, while
holding districts and schools affected by the waivers accountable for
the academic performance of their students.

Ed-Flex can help participating states and local school districts use
Federal funds in ways that provide maximum support for effective school
reform based on challenging academic standards for all students. Ed-Flex
partnership states named to date include Colorado, Kansas, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, and Vermont. For
example, the Fort Worth, Texas, School District received a waiver
allowing it to target an extra portion of its Title I dollars to four
high-poverty inner-city elementary schools. The schools were chosen for
a complete overhaul on the basis of low achievement on the Texas
Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) and other factors. Each school uses
Title I funds to improve instruction for all its students; they are
reorganizing staff, lengthening the school year, enhancing instruction
in reading and math, providing extensive teacher training, and
strengthening links to the community.

ED also recognizes the great potential to increase DQ while reducing
redundancy and state data burden by coordinating state and Federal data
collection efforts. Several efforts are under way to coordinate data
collection efforts, the largest of which is the IPBS. The goal of the
system is to reduce paperwork and streamline the Federal education
program reporting system in a way that provides the Federal government,
states, districts, school boards, and parents with accurate, comparable
information about how Federal programs work. This system is described as
a long-term strategy in the section "Improving Our Data and Information
Systems" in this volume.

**Coordination with non-governmental organizations.** Research has shown
that community involvement contributes to improving student outcomes.
The Department realizes that this is true on a national level as well,
and it has made recent moves to increase its partnerships. We are now
working with numerous non-governmental organizations to achieve mutual
goals. Two prominent program examples are our Partnership for Family
Involvement in Education (PFIE) and the 21^st^ Century Community
Learning Centers (CLC) program.

Since parents\' participation in children\'s learning is influenced
increasingly by work schedules and other time constraints, it is crucial
that businesses, community and religious organizations, families, and
schools support parental and employee involvement in education. To
encourage such support, we established the Partnership for Family
Involvement in Education in 1994. The Partnership now has over 4,400
members and offers resources, ideas, funding, and conferences relevant
to family involvement. Partners commit to increasing family
participation in children\'s learning through various activities,
including student- and family-friendly policies at the workplace,
before- and after-school programs, tutoring and mentoring initiatives,
and donations of facilities and technologies. For example, this past
year the Partnership published *The Compact for Reading* to help
families and schools develop written agreements on how they can work to
improve student reading. Published with the support of the *Los Angeles
Times* \"Reading by 9\" campaign, the Compact provides hundreds of
activities to link the family at home with the classroom curriculum.
Other PFIE partners include the Children's Defense Fund, the Girl
Scouts, Chase Manhattan Bank, GTE Corporation, the Southern Baptist
Convention, and B\'nai B\'rith International.

Another example of coordination with non-governmental organizations is
what is happening in the 21^st^ Century CLC program. The CLC program is
an out-of-school time program and a key component of the
Administration\'s efforts to keep children safe, encourage academic
enrichment, and provide recreational and enrichment opportunities. About
1,600 rural and inner-city public schools in 471 communities\--in
collaboration with other public and nonprofit agencies, organizations,
local businesses, postsecondary institutions, and scientific/cultural
and other community entities\--are now participating as 21st Century
CLCs. On top of this coordination at the local level, the Charles
Stewart Mott Foundation is contributing up to \$55 million in technical
assistance for the grantees, and the foundation coordinates at least
three conferences each year with the CLC program office. In addition,
the Afterschool Alliance is an emerging alliance of public, private, and
nonprofit groups committed to raising awareness and expanding resources
for after-school programs that grew out of the Mott-ED partnership.
Initial partners of this emerging alliance are the Charles Stewart Mott
Foundation, ED, JCPenney, The Entertainment Industry Foundation, *People
Magazine*, Creative Artists Agency Foundation, and the Advertising
Council.

**Coordination within the Federal government.** Our strategies for
building interagency collaboration include the following:

-   Identifying **common goals.**

-   Developing **common definitions and measures.**

-   Combining or streamlining **similar services.**

-   Introducing **performance partnerships.**

For example, we know that HHS and ED share family health and development
goals, while the Department of Justice (DOJ) and ED share goals of
reducing youth crime and violence. Having identified these common goals,
we are looking for opportunities for common indicators. (An example of
how this process works with HHS is outlined in the next paragraph.) At
the same time, we are looking for opportunities to combine or streamline
similar services, such as the coordination occurring in the Safe
Schools, Healthy Students Grant Initiative, through which ED, HHS, and
DOJ have begun to provide grants for local coordination of schools,
police departments, mental health agencies, and others to promote school
safety. Finally, we are increasingly using performance partnerships to
raise expectations and performance of ED and our partners.

A specific example of indicator alignment is currently occurring with
HHS. ED and HHS are working to coordinate their program indicators
across two programs: Even Start (ED) and Head Start (HHS). Our Even
Start program is a relatively small program that offers low-income
children early learning opportunities. HHS's Head Start program is a
much larger program that offers healthy preschool services to low-income
families. Both of these programs have indicators that assess family and
child development, including literacy, health, and preparedness for
school. Examples of each program's indicators appear in Exhibit 9. By
aligning the indicators for the programs, we hope to be able to make
comparisons and aggregate data, where in the past we could not. Over
time, we anticipate that this alignment will decrease the burden and
redundancies for the service providers and data collectors, who
currently are required to fill out two different reports with different
data requirements and definitions.

**Exhibit 9**

Our next steps for the coordination of these two programs are (1) to
continue to build leadership support, (2) to set up a coordination
committee, (3) to begin to align the wording of objectives, and (4) to
look for opportunities to merge data collection to increase the power of
the data and reduce the burden on individual sites.

In this year's plan, ED cites coordination activities with other Federal
agencies. A summary of these coordination efforts appears in Exhibit 10.
For example, we have coordinated with the DOJin recently producing
*Early Warning, Timely Response*, a guide for schools on how to
recognize possible precursors to violence and how to address them
immediately. Based on the success of that document, the team is working
on a follow-up guide. ED and DOJ also partnered on producing the *Annual
Report on School Safety*.

**Next Steps.** We plan to continue to focus our attention on
identifying, seeking out, and building coordination within the Federal
government and beyond. Specifically, over the next year, we are focusing
on four coordination strategies:

-   Providing leadership in ED to push program offices to seek active
    partnerships with other programs, agencies, organizations, and
    business that may have similar goals.

-   Using the Data Quality (DQ) attestation process to highlight
    opportunities for greater collaboration within ED and with other
    agencies.

-   Continuing to develop the data collection and alignment with states
    and existing state and Federal data sources.

-   Building partnerships with nongovernmental organizations and
    business by actively recruiting them around our common goals.

In addition to these strategies, we will nurture the relationships we
already have. As we have seen with PFIE and the CLC program, people will
notice that we are doing something right, and they will want to get
involved.
