DETAILED STATISTICAL AND PROCEDURAL INFORMATION IS PRESENTED ON (1) 1966 TITLE I PROJECTS IN NEW ENGLAND (INCLUDING PROJECTS OPERATED BY INSTITUTIONS FOR HANDICAPPED CHILDREN), (2) THE DISTRIBUTION AND EXPENDITURE OF TITLE I FUNDS, AND (3) DATA COLLECTING AND PROCESSING PROCEDURES FOR THE EVALUATION OF THE PROJECTS. IT IS FELT THAT THE OFFICE OF EDUCATION DATA COLLECTION FORM IS INADEQUATE FOR OBTAINING CERTAIN DATA NECESSARY FOR PROGRAM EVALUATION AND THAT THE EVALUATIVE INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY THE SCHOOLS IS ULTIMATELY UNRELIABLE. ALSO, INSTEAD OF COMBINING EVALUATION REPORTS FROM INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS, AS IS DONE IN THIS REPORT, A MORE RELIABLE EVALUATION METHOD WOULD BE TO SYSTEMATICALLY MEASURE A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF PROJECTS IN TERMS OF CERTAIN COMMON OBJECTIVES. AT PRESENT, BECAUSE THE STIPULATIONS FOR THE USE OF PROJECT FUNDS ARE AMBIGUOUS, NO SPECIFICALLY MEASURABLE GOALS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED WHICH ARE COMMON TO ALL PROJECTS. COMPUTER PROGRAMS FOR PROJECT DATA PROCESSING ARE APPENDED TO THIS REPORT, AND SUPPLEMENTARY STATISTICAL DATA ARE PRESENTED IN THREE SEPARATE VOLUMES. (LB)
