This document summarizes a related set of educational objectives and performance requirements for Fresno, California, developed by PROJECT DESIGN, a program funded under ESEA Title III. In the first section, tentative needs identified by project participants and listed in Conclusions From Needs Assessment Publications (EA 002 846) are arranged under the following 12 topical categories: (1) objectives, planning, and evaluation; (2) adult education; (3) vocational education; (4) curriculum; (5) instructional methodology; (6) staff and staffing patterns; (7) inservice training; (8) guidance and counseling; (9) ethnic minorities; (10) internal and external communications; (11) facilities; and (12) finance. Each tentative need statement was considered valid if significant discrepancies between value and fact were found by a select committee of educators. These validated needs are presented in the second section by topic. The final section translates validated needs into specific problem-solving activities (mission objectives) and into related criteria for solutions (performance requirements). (JH)
