This document begins with clarifications of the State and the local responsibility for education. The main body of the report is given over to committee recommendations covering (1) school program and services; (2) professional development for board members, school administrators, teachers, and other noninstructional personnel; (3) educational improvement through assessment at the State and district levels and by educational research and development; (4) post-secondary education; (5) a concept of funding, capital outlays, compensatory education, migrant education, school transportation, a financial accounting system, and property tax assessment; and (6) governance. Five sets of appendixes contain a summary of recommendations, the technical report of the Florida School Finance Study, the technical report analyzing the Governor's Citizens' Committee Survey, a list of additional technical reports, and a list of resource personnel used by the committee.
