Abstract	The Rural Education Program (REP) is funded to develop a strategy--the Rural Futures Development (RFD) Strategy--that encourages local initiative and participation in educational change. The strategy was installed in the San Juan School District in southeastern Utah (Site "A") from August 1974 to June 1976 and represented the first installation of the integrated strategy. Site A is a remote, large, and sparsely-populated area containing two distinct language and cultural groups--Navajo and Anglo. Strategy installation involved selecting four process facilitators and a local RFD coordinator, forming three school-community groups, conducting needs assessments, and initiating numerous training and planning activities. The evaluation of Site A was designed to monitor the RFD Strategy at the local school district level and to assist REP in defining and refining the strategy. A survey questionnaire was used to assess community members' perceptions of change over RFD's 2-year installation period. Sample size was 331; response rate was 41%. Most respondents perceived an improvement in educational quality; two-thirds felt the work done by school-community groups and school staff had improved the quality of educational decisions in their community. This report includes detailed reviews of evaluation procedures and results, the evaluation instruments, and data describing the local school district. (JHZ)
