This annual report summarizes recent activities provided in Ohio through Chapter 1 of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act. Information presented includes statistics for fiscal 1988, including the 1987-88 school year and the following summer, participation trends, instructional impact, expenditure and staffing patterns, parent involvement, and 5-year trends. The first section of the report explains the basic Chapter 1 services provided by Ohio's school districts. Statistics for 1988 and 5-year trends clearly indicate that the program helps children become successful learners. The second section describes the special Chapter 1 services provided for the children of migratory agricultural workers and handicapped, neglected, or delinquent children in state agency schools. The statistics indicate the beneficial impact of the supplemental services provided through federal aid to education. At the end of the report, services of the Ohio Department of Education to local districts and to state agency schools are described, and the program's 5-year financial and human impact is summarized.
