| Summary: | This report discusses the objectives of an exemplary project in sparsely populated southwestern South Dakota which involved nine schools' efforts in the past three years (1974-76) in bringing a variety of vocational education courses to students that none of the districts would have been able to undertake individually, because limited financial resources and the small number of students in each would not have made such educational opportunities feasible. The publication is designed to show the degree to which project objectives have been achieved, and also to provide information which other schools in sparsely populated areas might use in implementing a program of vocational education opportunities through use of relocatable, self-contained facilities. Discussion specifically covers project initiation, general and specific purposes, multi-district inception, activities preceding application for project, the program in operation, course codes, advisory committees, rotation schedules of mobile units, the multidistrict curriculum philosophy, multidistrict staffing, governance, finance and budgeting, and project appraisal. Detailed course descriptions are provided for the areas of General Metals, Building Trades, Electricity/Electronics, Auto Mechanics, Agricultural Technology I (Plant and Soil Science), Quantity Food Occupations, Health Occupations, Sales and Distribution, and Agricultural Technology II (Animal Science and Range Management).
