Abstract	This needs assessment was prepared to aid in budget planning of special/compensatory/remedial programs in the Austin (Texas) Independent School District (AISD). District data and student needs were examined for 1986-87 in 10 categories: prekindergarten classes, limited English proficiency, migrant status, special education, student dropouts, students retained, number of "F" grades given, areas indicated by districtwide achievement test results and by statewide basic/minimum skills assessment results, and discipline data. Schools having a high concentration of students from low income groups and with low achievement test scores were discovered. Availability of special/compensatory programs at each school and areas of overlap among programs were surveyed. Areas in which student needs were not being met were summarized including lack of funds to provide adequate level of compensatory help, district focus on elementary reading improvement to detriment of mathematics improvement, failure of several thousand low achieving students to receive compensatory services, and high levels of unmet needs among grade 9 students. Prekindergarten benefits were found to exceed program costs and program overlap was found to be significant. Figures throughout the text present data; program contact persons are listed. (LFL)
