Evaluations and other major projects of the Austin (Texas) Independent School District (AISD) Office of Research and Evaluation for 1991-92 will focus on: (1) externally funded programs; (2) system-wide achievement testing; and (3) system-wide evaluation. Eight evaluations will assess the impact of programs and grants funded by federal or state resources beyond the local district budget, largely in the areas of compensatory education (Chapter 1) and teacher education. Testing programs mandated by the state will be coordinated and administered, and the system-wide testing staff will provide a scoring and reporting service for some of the tests. Databases concerning student, employee, and other district information will be maintained and used to monitor local policies and mandates. Budget constraints have resulted in reduced staff, but outcome evaluation will remain strong. This document presents all 22 programs and requests for 1991-92. Many other research and evaluation activities not addressed by plans at this time will be conducted, as evaluation in the AISD responds to budget implications, identification of exemplary school practices, and indicators of success. An attached table displays the agenda-setting process. (SLD)
