DEEO staff located in four OE regional offices and in Washington, 16 university school desegregation assistance centers, and 25 State education agency units< responded to more than 6,400 requests for technical assistance from over 1,300 different school systems. Title IV program funds supported training for an estimated 17,500 teachers and other school personnel in the university institutes and local school district inservice programs. Approximately 75 percent of program funds were allocated for activities to assist schools in the 17 Southern and border States.
