RE: School Assessment

["Jantz, Amy" <AJantz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You may want to look at Sandra Altshuler's paper "From Barriers to
Successful Collaboration: Public Schools and Child Welfare Working
Together." It examines how professionals in public schools and child welfare
agencies can improve collaboration efforts to support educational needs of
children in foster care.  The abstract is available online at

Can someone direct me to a tool that assesses the relationship between a
social
services agency and the education system (Schools).  I know this is very
broad but
my agency hopes to assess whether having the same reporting standards has an
impact
on reported cases of abuse and neglect.
