Abstract	The New Jersey Department of Education asked Research for Better Schools, Inc., to design and conduct a data-collection process that would generate information about the programs and practices in the school districts participating in the state's Operation School Renewal (OSR) in 1986-87. The primary purpose was to provide descriptive program data for the interim evaluation of the Urban Initiative (Year 3). Data were gathered from sites through interviews with 147 teachers, students, administrators, and counselors in 3 districts. Descriptions that were generated are discussed for five areas that reflect the OSR issues of attendance, achievement, principal effectiveness, disruptive behavior, and youth unemployment. Narratives give the program description, background information, descriptions of needed resources, project-implementation factors, and evidence of program impact. Three figures illustrate program aspects. An appendix contains the interview format. (SLD)
