Commissioner of Education Arch Ford Education Building Little Rock, Arkansas 72207

Dear Dr. Ford:

The Pine Bluff School District No. 3 submits the enclosed proposal for an Operational Grant under Public Law 89-10, Title III, ent itle d

"Region VII Special Education Services Center."

The proposed project will serve the eight (8) counties, as defined by the state plan for administering Title III Projects. Funds requested for operation for the proposed project will make possible special services for handicapped children within Region VII which, at present, are inadequate and far short of meeting the needs within the region. The program design proposes to reach a far greater number of exceptional children and will offer a greater variety of services to both students and teachers of the service area. The thirty-six (36) school districts and the several private schools within Region VII will have the opportunity to participate in a unique concept through the establishment of the proposed regional education center.

The utilization of experiences and research gained through the programs developed by the Jenkins Memorial Children's Center during the past three years can now be implemented at a larger scope if funding of this proposal is granted.

The planners of this proposal have used all available resources in the funding designed for the purpose of providing maximum services to those children of school age generally denied appropriate training and educational experiences due to the nature of their handicap.

I sincerely encourage your consideration for a favorable review of this application and the approval necessary to continue this innovative and exemplary project.

Sincerely yours,

CBG:mg

C. B. Garrison

Superintendent
