This is the first of six reports on compensatory education services. The purpose of this report is to describe the compensatory education services provided by a cross section of the 14,000 school districts that receive Elementary Secondary Education Act Title I funds. It provides a factual background for the other reports in this series. This volume focuses on the actions of school districts, those ultimately responsible for identifying students in need and selecting and delivering services. These are some of the findings: Ninety per cent of America's school districts receive Title I funds. Title I services go primarily to elementary school students in public schools and 20% of the elementary school students in Title I districts receive compensatory education services. School districts exercise considerable flexibility in identifying students to receive Title I services. Because of limitations in Title I funding, few districts can serve all of the students judged to be in need. Because the needs of students vary from one school district to another, local educational agencies design and operate their own compensatory education programs. The quality of compensatory instructional services is reflected in the four factors of class size, time spent in instruction, teacher characteristics, and individualization. Variation among school districts in their compensatory instructional programs are strongly related to the size of the districts' Title I grants and to the staffing patterns they select. In contrast to the strong emphasis on compensatory instruction, auxiliary services represent a very small part of the overall Title I effort. Title I instructional services appear to make a distinct contribution to the learning experiences of students. (Author/AM)
