The purpose of this handbook is to provide suggested guidelines and pertinent information that will be helpful to Wisconsin Agency School Committees in assessing the effectiveness of present school districts, developing effective long-range plans for district organization, and evaluating educational planning in school districts. This volume, in conjunction with its data supplement (see EA 009 931), is an annual publication of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. It provides data on enrollments, school census, school district rezoning, boards of education, school district financial status, and other areas. Statistical data on each Wisconsin Cooperative Educational Service Agency (CESA) is also presented. The guidelines for long-range planning suggest what is necessary for quality educational programs and cover such areas as staff requirements, remedial reading services, instructional materials, and other areas.
