Educational needs of Mexican-Americans in the Fresno City Unified School District are assessed as part of PROJECT DESIGN, funded under ESEA Title III. Representative cross-sections of both the Mexican-American and non-Mexican-American populations of Fresno were contacted. Individuals interviewed in groups and individually totalled 153. The sample of Mexican-Americans included children, young adults, parents, professionals, and organizations. The non-Mexican-American population was composed of citizens, teachers, principals, school managers, and administrators in city agencies involved with Mexican-Americans. A classification matrix established for all the reports of PROJECT DESIGN is used to organize the data and recommendations. The major conclusion is that a negative self-image exists among Mexican-American students and that negative school conditions surround them. Recommended changes in the attitudes of educators and educational procedures are outlines. Related documents are EA 002 841, EA 002 843, and EA 002 845. (MF)
