Services to Indian Head Start Grantees Under a Special Program (Office of Child Development, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare). Report of the Comptroller General of the United States.
Comptroller General of the U.S., Washington, DC.
The Indian and Migrant Programs Division awarded a grant to an Indian-owned corporation to develop and help put into nationwide operation its specialized program of training and technical assistance. Due to congressional requests based on a constituent's complaint, a review was conducted to determine: the type of services provided to the projects; how project personnel felt about the benefits of the services to the projects; whether project personnel felt other services were needed; the role of local Head Start project officials in determining the types of services to be provided; and how the Division evaluated the corporation's performance. The review included: discussions with officials of the corporation, the Division, and the Office of Indian Child Services in Billings, Montana; an examination of their records; and interviews with project directors, facilitator/trainers, other personnel, and representatives of the Offices of Indian Child Services in South Dakota, Washington, Minnesota, and Illinois. Findings included: the majority of the project directors were satisfied with the corporation's services and believed that they were needed and usable; a major criticism was the lack of local input; and the main criticism by local projects appeared to be that they could not control and utilize available funding resources to solve local problems.
