Abstract | A cluster of schools in Montgomery County, Maryland, is working to meet the changing educational needs of its student population. The state of Maryland has developed partnerships with business and local service providers to improve school performance. House Bill 874 provided for Challenge School funds to help local schools reach Maryland's Schools for Success Goals by the year 2000. This paper presents an interim evaluation design that supported school-improvement plan (SIP) implementation, identified program-related activities and strategies, documented Challenge Schools' progress, and identified SIP outcomes. The Challenge School funding plan was implemented in 1993-94 in five elementary, one middle, and one high school. Quantitative and qualitative data collected at the school sites indicate that the program resulted in increased parent involvement and improved school/agency responsiveness to children and families. The role of the State Department of Education is expected to change from one of advisor/monitor to observer as schools take greater responsibility for self-evaluation. (LMI) |
