Abstract	Hollister Elementary School was one of several schools in its district to adopt a reform agenda initiated by the new district superintendent in 1995. This report tells the story of the school's adoption, implementation, and funding of the Success for All reading and Math Wings programs. The salient point is that the staff at the school managed to implement one of the most expensive comprehensive school designs with very little additional funding on top of already limited funding. Reform was accomplished because the superintendent set and supported the school on a course for change. He made it clear that to receive Title I funds, schools had to choose a research-based school design that specifically addressed the problems revealed in the needs assessment each school performed. He gave schools in need control over the majority of their school budget. At Hollister, the principal was able to reallocate some resources to the needs of the reform. Funds for former Title I positions allocated by the district plus additional Title I funding allowed payment for the majority of the Success for All and Math Wings programs. Initial student achievement results from both programs are promising. (RT)
