Abstract: The Department of Education's Office of Innovation and Improvement under section 5210(1) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended requests a data collection to collaborate with non-chartered public schools and non-chartered local educational agencies (LEAs) to share and transfer best educational and operational practices at the elementary and secondary school levels; and to disseminate information about these collaborations across the Nation. The Collaboration Awards competition is a discretionary grant designed to encourage charter schools and non-chartered public schools or non-chartered LEAs to share resources and responsibilities, build trust and teamwork, boost academic excellence in charter schools and non-chartered public schools alike, and provide students and their parents with a range of effective educational options.
