- Summary:
-
This is the first report of research results in the study of Title I intra-district allocation mandated by Congress in the Education Amendments of 1974. It has two major parts. The first describes in detail the changes in allocation policy planned by the 13 participating Local Education Agencies (LEAs). The second part describes the research plan for studying the effects of these allocation policies on program delivery and associated costs, student composition, student experiences, and community response. Documenting the deliberate changes made by each of the demonstration districts in the various stages of the allocation process is the first objective of the research portion of the demonstration studies. The second objective is to examine the impact of those changes on a number of dependent variables including program offerings and associated costs, student characteristics, and others as listed above. The exploration of the relationships between these variables is designed to assess the generalizability of various allocation options for various types of districts and to identify more or less successful approaches to the planning process. Although data are collected from a variety of sources, the primary sampling unit in the research design is the student. The student sample is drawn from up to four school types within each of the demonstration districts. The basic design is a pre-post analysis, with baseline data collected in 1975-76 under standard allocation procedures to be compared with change data collected in 1976-77 and again in 1977-78. Data are collected at all levels within the district, from district administrators by informal interview, from parents by structured interview, and from principals, homeroom teachers and instructional specialists by self administered questionnaires.
