The purpose of this report is to describe the services of Title I programs currently operating in State institutions for neglected or delinquent youth across the country. Demographic and social characteristics of Title I students and staff, program characteristics, objectives and funding status, and institutional environment are discussed. It is reported that actual per student expenditures are approximately one-half of other State educational expenditures, although in adult institutions, Title I and regular State education funding are almost equal. Title I programs at sample facilities are held to emphasize basic reading and mathematics skills and individualized instruction more than regular classroom programs. Further, Title I programs in custody-oriented institutions place more emphasis on vocational education than do programs in treatment-oriented facilities, while treatment-oriented facilities emphasize academic achievement and affective growth to a greater extent. Problems reported include lack of clarity in Federal guidelines, dissatisfaction with monitoring and evaluation procedures, as expressed by facility personnel, instability of financial support, and inadequate personnel recruitment and inservice education procedures.
