In response, The Wallace Foundation sponsored an initiative to help five cities increase collaboration, access, quality, information sharing, and sustainability in their OST systems. In many cities that provide financial support for OST, funding is funneled through a variety of youth- serving agencies that lack basic information about the programs they fund. The second in this three-volume series describes how the grantees and three other cities used management information systems to collect and use data on OST programs, including enrollment, attendance, and student outcomes. Cities' use of management information systems to collect and report data on OST programs is relatively new, so the experiences of the case-study cities offer valuable lessons for the field. For example, management information systems are capable of supporting OST system improvement but require careful planning, the use of data from these systems can lead to additional funding and support, the customization of web-based systems encourages their use, providing high-quality training to providers increases the use of the systems, and many providers are overburdened by requirements to use multiple management information systems, so eliminating redundancies and coordinating data requirements can ensure more efficient program provision and reporting. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 After-school programs|zUnited States|vCase studies. 650 0 School improvement programs|zUnited States|vCase studies. 650 0 Summer schools|zUnited States|vCase studies. 650 0 Education. 650 7 EDUCATION|xStudents & Student Life.|2bisacsh 650 7 EDUCATION|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 After-school programs.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01736854 650 7 School improvement programs.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01107461 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Case studies.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423765 700 1 McCombs, Jennifer Sloan,|d1970- 700 1 Orr, Nate. 700 1 Bodilly, Susan J. 700 1 Naftel, Scott,|d1952- 700 1 Constant, Louay. 700 1 Scherer, Ethan. 700 1 Gershwin, Daniel. 710 2 Rand Education (Institute) 710 2 Rand Corporation. 710 2 Wallace Foundation. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tHours of opportunity Volume 2, The power of data to improve after-school programs citywide.|dSanta Monica, CA : RAND, 2010|z9780833050496|w(OCoLC)693751450 914 ocn705028806 994 93|bGTK
