CARE will pro Because of a lack of funds, many Utahs small rural districts have beon unable to provide the students with the same services that students in large urban districts receive. This year, however, rural districts are acquiring many of the services that they lacked in the past. Banding together, 26 of Utahs rural districts have formed four Regional Service Centers. In this way, the districts are able to share costs on a variety of necessary services. The four centers are conveniently located in different rural sections of the state. The Northeastern Utah Multi District Cooperative Service Center, for instance, is located in Heber and serves nine rural districts in the northeastern part of Utah. The Southeastern Education Center serves four school districts in the Price area. The Southwest Educational Development Center is located in Cedar City. Seven districts benefit from the services of the center. Richfield also hosts one of the centers (the Cooperative Service Agency) which is serving six school districts. While services vary from center to center, depending on the needs of the districts involved, each of the centers employs a Special Education Coordinator. His responsibilities include helping with the funding of special education programs for rural students and providing technical research assistance to district personnel. The centers also employ specialists such as psychologists, speech and hearing specialists, and media personnel. The districts share the services of these specialists such as math and reading. The consultants are then able to visit individual schools in the districts served by the centers to help teachers with specialized problems. Also included in the many services supplied by the Regional Centers is purchasing power. For instance, three of the centers purchase school lunch supplies on a cooperative basis. School supplies and equipment are also bought through the centers. Funding for the four Regional Centers comes from the rural districts involved, state Title III funds, and some from federal sources. Page Three Bangladesh and CARE Set Goals for Emergency Housing An agreement between Bang-ades- h and CARE, the international relief agency, to initiate a $2 million housing program for the devastated nation was announced at a press conference at CARE World headquarters by H.
