An Evaluation of the Emergency School Aid Act Nonprofit Organization Program: Volume I, An Analysis of Federal Program Implementation and Funding Procedures

摘要

The Emergency School Aid Act (ESAA) of 1972 authorizes grants or contracts to nonprofit organizations (NPOs) and local education agencies (LEAs) to support the LEAs' efforts to desegregate or to reduce minority group isolation or its effects. The NPO program is a small component of ESAA which provides financial assistance to community organizations to support the LEAs' efforts. NPOs are funded on the assumption that certain activities related to school desegregation can be effectively performed by organizations outside the regular school district structure. Volume 1 examines the legislative and programmatic history of the ESAA-NPO program and analyzes the grant awards process for NPOs.
