Chapter 1 activities in Ohio for 1986-87 are summarized. The basic programs are described with emphasis on the following components: (1) student participation; (2) instructional areas; (3) impact of reading instruction; (4) impact of math instruction; (5) expenditure patterns; (6) staff positions; (7) inservice teacher education; (8) parent involvement and advisory councils; and (9) program successes. These basic programs were in 99 per cent of Ohio's school districts with a concentration on students in grades one through four. The program was successful in providing instructional services, assessing needs, and involving parents. Through special provisions of Chapter 1, funding came for special programs for children of migratory agricultural workers. The emphasis in these programs is on helping young children gain English language skills. A summer program allows most of this population to receive year round instruction. A Migrant Student Record Transfer System sends and receives educational and demographic information about the students in this program. Other special Chapter 1 programs are targeted for handicapped, neglected, and delinquent children. The booklet contains numerous photographs. Tables provide data on expenditures, participating students, teachers, and service organizations, and program descriptions and outcomes. (VM)
