This report presents the results of Phase I of an evaluation of the Murphy School District (MSD)-Department of Economic Security (DES) collaborative effort, one of the first interagency partnerships in the state of Arizona that attempts to address the needs of students and their families more effectively. The primary purposes of the evaluation are to: (1) document and describe implementation of the MSD-DES collaborative project; and (2) assess the outcomes of the collaboration on the service delivery system, and on students and their families. Early findings indicate that many of the collaborative's early goals have been accomplished; however, there are several challenges that must be overcome. The study also found that familiarity with, and ties to, the community among personnel is a strength of this collaborative. The school as the hub for services in the community is key to the initiation of this collaborative effort, but a view of the collaboration as a spider web may help to sustain collaborative efforts. The report also makes recommendations for next steps for the program and the evaluation. Appendices include sampling information, interview protocols, description of data sources, and a list of the types of services provided by community workers. (JE)
