-
This Congressional report focuses on how States are implementing the largest of the Federal elementary and secondary grant programs, Chapter 1 of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act (ECIA). Much of the information provided in the report, which consists of eight chapters, was derived from interviews with State Chapter 1 directors. Chapter 1 gives a brief history of TItle I and of some of the events that led to the passage of ECIA. Chapter 2 describes changes that have occurred under ECIA in the division of responsibility between the Department of Education and the States. Chapter 3 examines how school districts select schools and children to serve under the program. Chapter 4 looks at States' enforcement of the provisions in Chapter 1 that ensure that Federal funds are spent on the children for whom they are intended. Chapter 5 provides a brief examination of States' and school districts' evaluation practices. Chapter 6 focuses on State monitoring of Chapter 1 projects and State technical assistance to districts to improve program quality. Chapter 7 examines the decline in parent involvement that has occurred in many States and discusses practical ways of increasing that involvement. The end of each of these chapters presents a summary of recommendations. Finally, Chapter 8 discusses conclusions and presents recommendations. It argues against proposals to freeze Chapter 1; calls for increased Federal guidance; recommends funding efforts to improve program quality; and proposes strengthening Chapter 1's parent involvement provisions. Two appendices present the study questionnaire for State Chapter 1 directors and a list of interviews with the directors. (KH)
