This publication is the second product of a three-part study funded by the Connecticut State Board of Education pertaining to the operation of educational service centers. This booklet is designed to give the citizens of the state an insight into the development of an educational enterprise that delivers to the school districts and children many educational services that would not be available if it were not for the multipurpose, service-oriented centers. The six educational centers in the state are described in terms of their origin, lists of towns that are active members or potential members and the average daily enrollment of students from these towns, governance, finance, membership, program, and services. Maps of the area served by each center are included. Summary charts, the statutes of Connecticut relevant to the centers, and a bibliography of sources conclude the booklet. (Author/MLF)
