Education Consolidation and Improvement Act--Chapter 1: Final Evaluation Report, Neglected and Delinquent Program.
Chamberlain, Ed
This report recommends that the Neglected and Delinquent (ND) Program of the Columbus (Ohio) Public Schools, funded by the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act Chapter 1, be continued in the 1988-89 school year because the program provides a needed service to pupils in exceptional circumstances. The ND Program is designed to provide classroom and tutorial services in language development and mathematics for pupils in eligible facilities for the neglected and delinquent. During the 1987-88 school year, there was one full-time ND reading teacher at Rosemont School and 10 part-time tutors providing services in 8 other institutions. Evaluation was based on the number of pupils served and the length of that service. Major findings include the following: (1) a total of 150 pupils were served for an average of 3.5 hours of instruction per week; (2) 17 pupils were in grades 1 through 5, and 133 pupils were in grades 6 through 12; (3) average daily membership was 52.7; (4) average days of enrollment per pupil was 43.2; (5) average days of attendance per pupil was 30.2; (6) pupil mobility was very high due to varying lengths of time assigned to the institutional facilities served; (7) 45 pupils were females, and 105 were males; (8) 83 pupils were non-minority, 63 were Black, two were Hispanic, and two were Oriental; and (9) minorities composed 44.7 percent of the pupils served. Statistical data are included on two tables. A copy of the Pupil Data Form, the data collection instrument, is included in an appendix. (FMW)
