Noting evidence that many American children and youth are
at risk, this report suggests ways to build effective
communities through effective partnerships and services
that are coordinated across systems and aligned across
levels of government. The report discusses the efforts of
the Working Group formed to consider how federal, state,
and local governments can improve results for preschool
and school-aged children and their families. Also
discussed are the steps necessary to achieve these
partnership goals, including: (1) assessing conditions,
assets, and resources to assist in setting priorities for
resource allocation and accountability; (2) developing
compatible goals and coordinated plans for improving
results; (3) ensuring shared accountability for equity
and results; (4) reviewing and aligning policies and
allocating all available resources to positively affect
the highest priorities in a community; and (5) designing
and reconfiguring programs, services, supports, and
infrastructure to help families, children, and
communities grow stronger. The first part of the report
is a general discussion of issues relating to at-risk
youths, such as fragmentation and failure to resolve
problems. This part introduces measures to meet the
community's needs and allocate resources, and discusses
the roles of the federal and state governments. The
second part of the report discusses strategies for
developing local flexibility in implementing
comprehensive services focused on young children and
their families. This part touches upon topics such as
finance, decision making, and state and federal
collaboration issues and their solutions, and provides a
table of key steps for achieving better results for
children and families. A list of the members of the
Working Group concludes the report. (MOK)
