Extractions: Effective Services for Young Children and Their Families By Mary Ann Demaree Even under the best of circumstances, collaboration among education and service agencies is fraught with difficulties. Scarce resources and time as well as overworked personnel can short-circuit the best intentions. In too many cases, collaborative action on behalf of children remains an ideal, not a reality. Oxford County, Maine, covers 2,078 square miles in western Maine, one of the country's most rural states. The county has no major highways, no public transportation, and no taxi service. Two nonprofit transportation companies provide limited bus service to the elderly and low-income persons requiring medical services. Oxford County agencies share the ideals held by most professionals who serve children. They have the vision to provide the needed education and social services to children and their families and they want their clients to achieve their full potential. While their goal is straightforward, many factors make it difficult to achieve in Maine and around the country. Although prevention is the least expensive and most efficient response, some agencies lack the resources for prevention.

Extractions: PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM: The purpose of the Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities Act of 2001 (SDFSCA), also known as Title IV-A of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is to prevent violence in and around schools and to strengthen programs that prevent the illegal use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. This Title requires parental involvement and coordination with related federal, state, and local efforts and resources; and makes federal assistance available to states, local educational agencies, public and private nonprofit organizations, and institutions of higher education for selected programs, services, and activities. Unlike most other states, the Maine SEA/LEA Program is jointly administered by two agencies, the Department of Education (DOE) and the Office of Substance Abuse (OSA), in accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding. The agreement was necessitated by state legislation that consolidated substance abuse prevention, education, research, and treatment within a single state agency (OSA) which is located in the Department of Behavioral and Developmental Services, and federal legislation authorizing the State Educational Agency (SEA) to apply for program funds while ensuring that all related federal accountability and reporting requirements are fulfilled.
