This publication presents in summary form the development of the two end products of the Trenton Title III project: (1) an educational planning system called STEP (System for Tranton's Educational Planning) and (2) a new planning office, the Division of Research, Planning, and Evaluation. Included is the outline of the planning cycle, a discussion of the Indicators of Quality, and a description of various activities of the planning office. This publication should be a useful guide for reviewing the merits of a comprehensive systems approach to planning and the organizational structure needed to operate the system and its related functions.
