The three Federal agencies
collaborating on the Initiative share an expectation that LEAs and
communities nationwide will benefit from the documented experiences
of the grantees. A letter to introduce the National Evaluation Team
(NET) was mailed to all grantees from the Director of the Division
of Prevention, Traumatic Stress and Special Programs at SAMHSA. The
NET has developed instruments to collect detailed quantitative and
qualitative data on the grant activities and the local
collaborative process. These instruments all apply to the local
Project Director of the grant, the local project evaluator, one
representative of each local organization that formally partners in
the administration of the grant activities, one representative of
each school receiving services through this grant, and
instructional and administrative staff at targeted
schools.
