Project Communicate began to set up an educational information system to introduce new instructional practices in Kansas public schools. Twelve school districts started the project. A project director, several education specialists, and an information specialist were part of this program. Field agents were sent to instruct educators to use the innovative instructional materials. Brochures were sent to school personnel introducing them to information retrieval systems. During the developmental phase searches averaged 91.4 each month. Requests came from 64 percent of teachers and 41 percent of administrators. Seventy-five percent of the clients evaluated the project. During the transition phase maintaining and expanding services to rural districts was undertaken. Change from federal funds to local and state funding occurred. From the transition phase to the implementation phase the project saw a greater expansion of the information systems to 95 school districts, 14 colleges and universities. Kansas National Educational Association and five adult education centers were also added. Expansion of services, regional workshops, utilization of a statewide information system and assisting school districts are plans for the future. (AP)
