Hello all.
I am the Coordinator of the Blue Gargoyle Family Learning Project, a family 
literacy program in a community-based social-service agency on the South Side 
of Chicago.  This is our 3rd year of programming, funded by the Illinois 
Secretary of State Literacy Office as well as private grants.  Now, for the 
first time, we are applying for an Even Start grant.

My question:

HOW DOES A PROGRAM FIND AND ENGAGE "AN INDEPENDENT EVALUATOR"?  Can graduate 
students in a related field of study at a local university be used for this 
purpose? We have always self-evaluated and been evaluated by grant 
monitors--never by an independent evaluator.  ANY ADVICE OR SUGGESTIONS, ESP 
FROM CHICAGO-AREA PROVIDERS, WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!
