An Evaluation of the Emergency School Aid Act Nonprofit Organization Program: Volume III, The Role of Community Organizations in Facilitating School Desegregation

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 3, The Role of Community Organizations in Facilitating School Desegregation compares the effectiveness of ESAA-NPOs and non-ESAA community organizations.
