The abstracts in this collection describe selected programs operating in public schools during 1972-73. Locally devised and implemented, these programs for grades kindergarten through twelve were selected for their probable general interest and use. The subject areas included are administrative services, art, business, language arts, general elementary and secondary education, handicapped students, industrial arts, mathematics, music, natural sciences, and social studies. A standard format presents an overview, the target population, major purpose, objectives, activities, evaluation strategy and findings, cost, and contact person for each program. (Author/DW)
