This evaluation attempts to measure the extent and effectiveness of ESEA Title I programs designed to meet the needs of disadvantaged children and apprizes the public and the legislature of program outcomes. This report is based on the individual evaluations prepared by 40 local education agencies operating Title I programs. During 1970-71, 15,993 children participated in Title I projects in the State at an expenditure per student of $230.81. Data included in the report include those on basic State statistics on enrollment and expenditures; grade placement, racial characteristics, and nonpublic school enrollment of the children served by the programs; program characteristics; and an evaluation of the reading program. In addition to the conclusions drawn, recommendations are made for future programs. Related documents are ED 053 468 and ED 054 283. (MLF)
