The purpose of this study was to provide vocational and special education personnel baseline data for determining policy research needs. The major objectives of the study were to (a) develop a survey instrument and technique for identifying the policy-related problems confronting state directors of vocational, special, and vocational special needs education and to (b) identify the major policy-related problem areas and problems. The state directors from each of the 50 states, District of Columbia, and surrounding territories identified eight problem areas: interagency cooperation and agreements; funding and fiscal policy; service delivery and program alternatives; personnel preparation; state legislation, plans, and policies; federal legislation and regulations; program evaluation and improvement; and attitudes.
