INTER-ORGANIZATIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY
To strengthen fidelity to the community schools collaborative model and capacity among site partners (particularly principals, non-profit lead agencies, and site coordinators), SUN developed an inter-organizational accountability checklist. The checklist emerged as an idea from the SUN Districts Council, an operations-level group that includes representatives of affected school systems, the city of Portland, and Multnomah County. As intermediary for SUN, the county designed the tool by drawing from existing partnership agreements and partner input. Such a tool has proven valuable in keeping the work of the SUN collaboration at all levels on track, ensuring progress toward its broader vision. The checklist focused on items such as vision, operational structures, leadership integration, and communication.
