Chapter 2 Formula provides federal funds to the states through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 as amended in 1988. Chapter 2 funds can support programs that meet the educational needs of students with special needs; acquire curricular materials; improve schools through innovative programs; train staff; enhance student achievement through instruction and community service; or provide early childhood education, gifted and talented education, technology education, community education, and/or youth suicide prevention programs. AISD received $531,021 and in addition, $106,208 was rolled forward from 1988-89 for a grand total of $637,229. Funds have been allocated to the following programs and services: (1) the Academic Decathlon; (2) Blanton Wicat Computer Lab; (3) Bridge Computer Lab at Webb; (4) Comprehensive Competencies Program at Johnston; (5) extracurricular transportation; (6) library resources (dictionaries); (7) middle schools training; (8) pre-kindergaretn supplements; (9) private school programs; (10) Project ASSIST; (11) Rainbow Kits; (12) school-community liaison augmentation; (13) secondary remediation support; (14) administration and management activities; and (15) evaluation services. This report provides descriptions, discussions of implementation, salient characteristics, and evaluation methods and results of the various programs and services, as appropriate. Based largely on AISD districtwide staff surveys administered in January and February of 1990, 100% of the respondents rated the private school programs as effective, 29% rated Project ASSIST as effective, and between 41% and 89% of the respondents rating the remaining programs as effective.
