This paper presents the sum of both individual research and the five papers specially prepared for the Upper Midwestern Region Interstate Project Constracting Conference (Minneapolis, Minnesota, May 9-10, 1972.) In particular, the various sections that comprise the publication speak to those aspects of performance contracting suggested for the continuation study under a Minnesota-Wisconsin contractual agreement. This paper marks the completion of the continuation study. The major topics covered are a (1) status assessment of Performance Contracting, (2) Review and Analysis of Subjective Reports, (3) Review and Analysis of Rand Evaluation Reports, (4) Local School District Evaluation Reports, (5) Review and Analysis of Office of Economic Opportunity Evaluation Report, (6) Legal Implications and Complications in Performance Contracting, and (7) the Role of the State Educational Agency. The five conference papers and a 50-item bibliography conclude the presentation. (Author/EA)
