This study provides information about the development and implementation of MIS and PPB systems in State education agencies. Data from two questionnaires covered (1) systems planning and development, and (2) administration and organization. Most States have begun to implement information and PPB systems, but they are hindered by lack of both funds and experienced personnel. The author recommends that State agencies place greater emphasis on information and PPB systems development, and that federal agencies provide more assistance to State and local education agencies.
