Using information from relevant literature and recent surveys and interviews with administrators of many of Rhode Island's smaller school districts, the report identifies options/strategies which may be useful in counteracting the potential adverse effects that low, or significantly declining, enrollments may have on the comprehensiveness of a district's high school program. The options are grouped into four tables which include the perceived advantages/disadvantages of each approach and comments relevant to Rhode Island schools. Table 1 outlines nine "in-house" options for maintaining a broad curriculum: expanded grade range, combined related courses, alternate-year offerings, multiple certification of teachers, interdisciplinary courses, increased student course load, innovative instructional delivery, independent study, and flexible minimum enrollment policies. Table 2 presents five options for using business, cultural, and postsecondary education resources to maintain a broad curriculum: use of community resources, correspondence courses, expanded school mission, concurrent high school and postsecondary enrollment, and early college enrollment. Table 3 describes seven inter-district cooperative strategies and regionalization as curriculum maintaining methods: cross-registration, joint program offerings, specialized regional schools/agencies, itinerant teachers, tuition/voucher arrangements, support function cooperation, and consolidation/regionalization. Table 4 covers application of three new technologies to maintain a broad curriculum: taped or"over-air" instructional television, computer-assisted instruction, and interactive telecommunications.
