In addition to the monetary allocation by the Budget Committee, RD&E assigned a full-time data collector, four temporary staff members, five University of Oregon practicum students and a portion of the time of three RD&E interns to interview and write to aecomplish this task. The work began when RD&E people listened to tapes of the '75-'76 Budget Committee hearings to determine what questions had gone unanswered. By November 1, 1975, interviews had been conducted with all Budget Committee members except Charles Burrows and Roy McCracken. In addition, Gail Nicholson, who retired from the Board, and Frank Nearing, who was elected to fill her vacancy, were interviewed. Each person was asked what kind of information he/she wanted concerning the programs. Their answers were used to create the format for the descriptors. The format includes categories entitled Law, Client, StaffAdministrators, Objectives and Methods '76-'77, Resources, Significant Change in Program Focus, and Budget. These categories are the prociuct of meetings between University of Oregon people and District 4J staff. Interview Method A four-page form was created for use in interviewing people involved in each program. From a list of program personnel, a non-random selection was made to obtain a cross-section of administrative and certificated personnel from each region. Seven to eight people were intervie;red in each program, all the people in a small program, but
