Family and Community Support: Coordinated Education, Health and Human Services. The Commissioner's Critical Issue Analysis Series Number 2.
Texas Education Agency, Austin.
This report provides an overview of existing research, issues, programs, and initiatives that relate to coordinated education, health, and human services, with an emphasis on implications for Texas and the implementation of the America 2000 National Education Goals initiative. It discusses the often fragmented and uncoordinated nature of current service provision, examines the history of school-based and school-linked programs, reviews the effectiveness of these programs, and explores the barriers to implementing school-based and school-linked programs. It argues that the successful coordination of education, health, and human services must provide for: (1) systemic change; (2) clients' needs; (3) adequate funding; (4) proper evaluation; (5) leadership at the state and federal level; and (6) alternatives to school-linked services. The report then profiles numerous national and state initiatives in integrating and coordinating education, health, and human services. An annotated list of important organizations and publications related to the topic are included. An appendix lists the America 2000 National Education Goals. Contains 88 references. (MDM)
