A 55-item questionnaire was distributed to all of the Community School Programs in Michigan which were partially reimbursed by the State in 1975-76. Ninety-eight percent of the questionnaires were returned. Thirteen components existed in over 90% of the programs and are considered to be necessary for a viable Community School Program. The results of the study indicate that the necessary components for all Community Programs are (1) the Board supports community education by opening the school building, (2) the program attracts most segments of the community, (3) program activities are started as soon as possible after needs have been identified, (4) an advisory committee is formed which helps to determine needs, establish goals, and identify community resource, (5) the director regularly attends inservice, (6) the program establishes cooperative efforts with governmental agencies, volunteer and civic service organizations, and other educational institutions, (7) the program has activities in the summer, and (8) evaluation of the program is based to some extent on the data collected on participants. In addition, components which differentiate successful from unsuccessful programs were identified for programs located in rural areas, in urban areas, in existence for three to six years, and in existance for over six years. These components are listed in the report along with recommendations for further research in community education, recommendations for community education programs, and recommendations for the State Department of Education. Appended to the report are (1) prediction models for all programs, for those grouped urban-rural, and for those grouped on length of program and (2) the questionnaire used to gather data. (Author/JT)
