In order to develop criteria for site selection, this study gathered data from both a review of the literature and a questionnaire survey of state directors of vocational education. Although wide variations in criteria were discovered, five areas of concern were identified: (1) potential enrollment, (2) finances, (3) local support and initiative, (4) employment of graduates, and (5) the relationship between school location and other services. Separate criteria were developed for four types of area schools in Utah. A bibliography of materials helpful in establishing state criteria is appended. (BH)
