Grants Management in Education: Federal Impact on State Agencies.

This monograph examines the impact of grants management on State education from the perspectives of public administration, public finance, governmental accounting and auditing, and intergovernmental relations. Chapter I depicts the context within which OE grants management takes place. Chapter II describes existing grants management practices and devices, and contains a limited critique thereof. Chapter III describes the State education agency, its place within a statewide educational system, and the impact that USOE grants management has on State education agency management. The final chapter reconsiders what exists, redefines grants management, and makes recommendations for its reconstitution. (RA)
