The attendees included members of the financial aid community, representatives of the Corporation for National Service, and student employment experts. The following points are summarized comments from participants in the planning meeting. PROPOSED 50% COMMUNITY SERVICE REQUIREMENT Many participants felt that institutions should be encouraged to meet targets through incentives (such as the waiver in matching funds for reading tutors) but should not be forced to meet community service requirements. They suggested that the 50% target should be a goal rather than a requirement. Participants felt that at a minimum, they would need at least a year to get up to the 50% level. Participants described the difficulty of community service agencies providing matching funds. Some participants stated their institutions have large receivables balances from community agencies, and the institutions end up paying the agency's share of student wages. Institutions need to exert a costly administrative effort to deal with off-campus contracts and collections with community agencies. Administrative requirements for off-campus jobs include identifying jobs, recruiting students, training, monitoring payroll, collecting timesheets, visiting the work site, and record keeping. Comment: Some states have a Master Contract that can be used with any community agency. A large percentage of many institutions' students already volunteer. Philosophically, it is difficult to rationalize a student who is volunteering next to a student who is getting paid for community service. Comment: FWS workers are not volunteers. FWS community service jobs are a form of financial aid and a form of service learning. Transportation and availability of community service jobs, especially in rural and residential areas, are obstacles. Comment: Limit community service jobs to a few programs/agencies and then provide a shuttle bus system. Student schedules are another constraint in increasing off-campus jobs. For on-campus jobs, students can put in a couple of hours one day and a couple of hours another day. Off-campus jobs have less flexible schedules. Furthermore, some fast food restaurants pay more than FWS. Comment: Students may be willing to accept a lower wage for a more meaningful job. An increase in FWS students in community service may displace non-profit permanent staff. Suggestion: If a certain percentage of an institution's students volunteer, then the 50% community service requirement should be waived. FWS INCREASE Participating institutions received a wide range of preliminary increases (in terms of dollars and percentages.) Many participants welcomed the FWS increases and thought their institutions could use the increase in funds. However, many expressed reservations about the proposed 50% community service requirement (see above), i.e. they could use the money under the 5% requirement but not under the 50% requirement. Other institutions will not be able to increase staff to levels where they can utilize the entire increase. Some state schools will not be able to use all of their FWS increase because most of their matching requirements are met through state funds, which may not be increased. FWS jobs provide students with valuable experiential education that teaches students work ethic and skills. The increase will allow larger awards, which will allow students to stretch their experiences out. Administrative obstacles for utilizing the FWS increase include limited staff and excessive regulations. Many students find their own jobs where agencies pay their full salary. FWS shouldn't be used for jobs that are already in place. At one institution, the community service office, the FWS people, the transportation department, and academic affairs collaborated to administer community service FWS jobs. Duties were parceled out to the collaborating groups within the institution. Another institution is funding an FWS student to work with the Student Activities Office in identifying community service opportunities. A participant suggested that institution Presidents should get involved because they have the power to convene bipartisan groups. Comment: The financial aid director is still going to be held accountable for any problems with FWS. The financial aid director still has to meet minimum technical requirements for an audit. READING TUTORS Most of the participants welcomed the matching requirement waiver for reading tutors. Participants emphasized that college students need to be trained before they can tutor. Without training, college students may do more harm than good. Comment: FWS students should be able to provide the training to other students. The reading tutor waiver or institutional share requirements should not be limited to preschool and elementary kids, as many adults need reading help too. Many FWS workers at one institution learned English as a second language and may not make the best reading tutors. Another representative from a community college mentioned that elementary schools may not want reading tutors who are themselves taking remedial training. A third institution's students are increasingly taking classes through telecommunications technology. These students cannot participate in local reading tutor programs. It is often difficult to place FWS workers in public schools. Public schools tend to be very selective about skills and schedules. Comment: FWS workers would have the same responsibilities as a regular school district employee. Issues include adequate training, lawsuits from parents, safety of kids, and the amount of time to coordinate FWS workers. Is it fair that a student who wants to work in a soup kitchen can't get a matching fund waiver but a student who wants to tutor reading can? SUGGESTIONS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Post the list of contacts on IFAP for developing community service jobs. Work on state commissions and community service networks. Provide other community service resources. Regulatory relief would be appreciated in the following areas. 1) Over-award of work-study funds 2) Job Location and Development (JLD) requirements 3) Reductions in financial aid because of summer FWS earnings 4) Loss of FWS because of AFDC reforms Create an off-campus work-study kit to provide suggestions on how to go about administering community service FWS jobs. (Some participants in the planning meeting described how they handle the administration of their off-campus FWS jobs). Provide contact persons from elementary school districts for reading tutor programs. Implement a mechanism to make sure all the funds are used, i.e. a negative consequence for institutions who don't return unused funds in time for them to be distributed to other schools. Clearly communicate what is required and what is only recommended before institutions decide to accept the FWS allocation. The word needs to get out now or many institutions may not take the full amount. For many campuses, FWS is dealt with through employment offices. The Department needs to get out the information to the right people. QUESTIONS Participants posed the following questions about the FWS Program. The Department is considering these questions and would appreciate your comments. Some institutions will not be able to use all of the FWS increase. Can these institutions reallocate money to nearby schools or other schools in the State? Will training sessions for FWS students to tutor reading skills count toward wages? Does an FWS worker who trains others to be reading tutors qualify for the matching fund waiver? Americorps vouchers don't count toward determining student need? Can community service FWS also be excluded? If an institution underutilizes its award, can it be carried over to the next award year? How are penalty statutes going to be handled for returning FWS funds? *************************************************** ATTACHMENT 3 CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL SERVICE 1201 New York Ave. NW Washington DC 20525 (202) 606-5000 December 2, 1996 Dear Financial Aid Administrators, Many colleges and universities recently received notice that they could potentially receive major increases in Federal Work-Study funds. As you may be aware, the President has stated that he would like at least half of these increases to be committed to community service -- with an emphasis on deploying 100,000 work-study students as reading tutors. The Department of Education recently took a dramatic step to make such a goal more attainable: any work-study slots dedicated to providing reading tutors to pre-K through elementary school children would be exempt from the institutional local match requirements. I want to offer the assistance of the Corporation for National Service as you develop plans for using these new work-study positions. We view this as a historic opportunity to strengthen community service and to demonstrate that work-study can help to achieve an important national goal. For those of you don't know us, the Corporation for National Service was created in 1993 to administer several federal grant national service programs: Learn and Serve America, AmeriCorps* State and National, AmeriCorps*VISTA, the National Civilian Community Corps, the Retired Senior Volunteer Program, Foster Grandparents and Senior Companions. We now have a strong network of community service organizations that run well-design, structured, effective service programs. These networks can serve as a resource for you. A few possible ways the national service network can help Financial Aid Administrators are: National Service programs can incorporate work-study students into existing, structured volunteer efforts. In October the Corporation for National Service contacted all of its grantees urging them to think creatively about how they would be able to coordinate with the Financial Aid Offices to assist in filling these positions. You should anticipate that some of them may contact you. They will be able to assist you in building partnerships with community-based organizations and to think through some of the complexities of placing students off-campus. All of our grantees have gone through a rigorous review process to receive a grant. Therefore, colleges and universities should be confident that if they place a student in a Corporation-approved program that the program is a high-quality program that will provide the necessary training for the students and work effectively to solve transportation and monitoring problems. And that if they commit themselves to pay a match, they will do so. Two examples of how some service programs already make good use of work-study students: Jumpstart AmeriCorps Program, Boston, MA and New Haven, CT -- The Jumpstart AmeriCorps program engages college students to work one-on-one during the school year with young children who are struggling in preschool. During the summer, corps members teach in teams with a mentor teacher in preschool classrooms. More than half of Jumpstart's 150 corps members are work-study students. They will spend 900 hours over the next 20 months working with children to improve reading skills. Jumpstart members come from 13 colleges and universities in Boston and New Haven. Ohio Wesleyan University, OH -- Ohio Wesleyan University uses work-study students as part of their "Columbus Initiative" that helps local elementary, middle, and high school. Based on the "I Have a Dream" model, this program sends work-study students to mentor and tutor children from one of the areas most high-need communities. These children are then made a basic offer: stay in school, stay off drugs, and keep a B average and you'll get admitted to Ohio Wesleyan with a full-financial aid package that will meet your financial needs. This program has significantly improved the relationship between the university and the neighborhoods of Columbus. State Commissions for National and Community Service can link colleges and universities with service programs. Enclosed is a list of all the State Commissions for National and Community Service. A Commission appointed by Governors exists in all but two states to oversee national service programs. The Commissions can help match you with service programs in the area that are likely to be interested in utilizing work-study students from your institutions. Campus Compacts can share information about how other colleges and universities are using work-study for community service. The Campus Compact is a national coalition of 550 college and university presidents committed to increasing public service opportunities for their students and to working with communities to address local needs. The Compact has produced a useful document regarding federal work-study and community service. You can obtain a copy by calling the Compact office at (401) 863-1119. College-Based Community Service Organizations can help manage placement and oversight of work-study students. An increasing number of college and university campuses now support community service centers that help to identify community service opportunities for students. In several cases, such as at Brown University, the community service center and the financial aid office have developed partnerships to administer the community work-study funds. Often the community service centers have more extensive contacts with non-profit organizations in the community and can help to broker placements for work-study eligible students. In addition, the work-study placement might be at the centers, similarly to the campus library or other campus offices. The community service center can then help you insure that the students are trained and supervised and the necessary paperwork is completed. We encourage you to explore similar partnerships with the community service center on your campus. This new federal work-study money can have a powerful effect. Students benefit from the challenge of working on critical social issues. Colleges and universities benefit from improved relations with the surrounding communities. And communities benefit from the skills and energy of college students. Again, I urge you to contact the Commission for National and Community Service in your state. We look forward to working with you to think creatively about how to seize this opportunity so that this work-study increase benefits students, colleges, schools and communities.
