This book describes the process by which different agencies with common objectives can be effectively brought together to share resources in a cooperative effort. Emphasis of the discussion is on cooperative processes rather than on case studies of particular cooperative programs, although the author does describe numerous examples of interagency cooperation in the course of his discussion. Separate chapters focus in turn on the need for interagency partnerships, formation of partnerships, initiation of interagency relationships, community involvement, establishment of a community/school, needs assessment, interagency services, legal considerations, financial arrangements, management models, plant planning, facility implications, staffing implications, and construction period activities.
