text: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
  
      This Act may be cited as the ``Full-Service Schools Act''.
  
  SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
  
      (a) Congressional Findings.--The Congress finds that--
              (1) one in five children entering school in 1993 lives in 
          poverty;
              (2) students from poor families are three times more likely 
          to drop out of school than students from more advantaged homes;
              (3) nearly 40 percent of the females who drop out of school 
          do so as a result of pregnancy;
              (4) in the past two decades, the percentage of women with 
          children under the age of six who are working or seeking 
          employment outside the home has nearly doubled;
              (5) more than 8 million children in this country have no 
          form of health insurance which may lead to untreated 
          conditions, unnecessary diseases and death;
              (6) more than 70 percent of the children who need 
          psychiatric treatment do not receive services;
              (7) children who are victims of child abuse, poverty, 
          malnutrition, lack of health care, alcohol and drug abuse are 
          at risk for failure;
              (8) without health and social intervention, at-risk 
          children are often unable to improve academic performance; and
              (9) to obtain improvements in the educational system, an 
          integrated system which includes comprehensive health and human 
          services for at-risk children and their families is necessary.
      (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act--
              (1) to integrate service delivery systems to provide 
          comprehensive public education, training, health and human 
          services to at-risk children at locations accessible to and 
          utilized by such children and their families;
              (2) to achieve systemic reform at the Federal, State, and 
          local levels and to restructure service delivery at the local 
          level; and
              (3) to improve the educational performance of at-risk 
          children.
  
  SEC. 3. ESTABLISHMENT OF FEDERAL INTERAGENCY WORK GROUP.
  
      (a) In General.--There is established the Federal Interagency Work 
  Group composed of the Secretaries of Education, Health and Human 
  Services, and Labor and funded equally by the departments of the 
  representative Secretaries to facilitate collaboration between agencies 
  and to mobilize Federal policy to achieve systemic reform to meet the 
  comprehensive needs of at-risk children and to provide grants to the 
  States and local entities to develop similar programs at the State and 
  local levels.
      (b) Duties.--The Group shall--
              (1) assist Federal, State, and local agencies in 
          developing, implementing, and evaluating service integration 
          programs under this Act;
              (2) to the greatest extent possible, coordinate agency 
          resources and funding allowing for the consolidation of Federal 
          categorical programs, when requests for such waivers are made;
              (3) establish and maintain a national data base that 
          includes the collaborative efforts of the Government, the 
          States, local entities, and private entities to serve at-risk 
          children;
              (4) make grants to the States to develop an interagency 
          work group and fund local efforts to integrate services for at-
          risk youth and their families;
              (5) determine the amounts of each grant by considering how 
          many local project sites the State interagency group can 
          reasonably target with not more than $200,000 allocated to a 
          site; and
              (6) waive certain Federal requirements that impede 
          collaborative efforts if such waivers will result in a more 
          efficient use of resources.
      (c) Fiscal Agent.--The Secretary of Education shall act as the 
  fiscal agent for the Group.

              (2) develop preservice and inservice training that assists 
          staff members to understand the communities in which they work 
          and the full array of resources that are available to help at-
          risk children and their families;

          used as models and that information regarding program successes 
          are disseminated throughout the State; and
