The data for the study were drawn from field research focusing particularly on partnerships formed between K-12 public schools and private and/or non-profit organizations in the United States. The most frequently cited difficulties associated with accountability in partnerships were the availability of and access to information, sectoral and personal differences, and frequent changes in personnel, resources, and partners. - Reproduced.  aEducation - United States  aAccountability - United States  aAccountability  aRobertson, Peter J.  aInternational Review of Administrative Sciences
