- Summary:
-
At the request of the Pennsylvania Department of Education, 17 agencies in the Pittsburgh area began a planning process to form a single administrative body for all adult basic education and literacy programs. This project supported the hiring of a planning consultant, the convening of planning meetings and a retreat, and thorough documentation of the process. The early planning meetings showed that the agencies had a variety of preferences and expectations. Gradually, they began to collaborate and accept the consortium. A great deal of time was spent in determining how the governing board of the consortium would be structured. Guidelines were provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The project led to the incorporation of a new nonprofit organization, the Literacy Consortium of Allegheny County. (Most of this document consists of documentation of the planning process for the formation of the consortium, including letters to agencies, agendas for planning meetings and the retreat, and minutes of meetings. The planning process and questions asked of agency officials thinking about the consortium are included.) (Author/KC)
