FOREWORD
With accelerated interest in the nongraded school,increasing numbers of teachers and administrators want tovisit schools with such programs. Unfortunately, no readylisting has been available. This directory of schoolswith nongraded programs will fill part of this void.
However, a work of this type, by its very nature,must be partial. Each year new schools can be added tothe roster of those which have adopted nongraded programa.Moreover, some schoolo who once had nongraded programshave discontinued them in favor of other organizationalpatterns. The directory must be uped with this limitationclearly in mind.
Developing a directory of thia size it) a conciaerableundertaking and involves the work of many people. Chiefamong the contributora is the New York State EducationDepartment. Their 7,eneroup support of the larger investi-gation of the nongraded school at St. John's Universityfacilitated the present work. If the work of one personhad to be singled out for recognition, that peroon wouldbe Mrs. Dorothy Jeopop for ohe, more than any Dingleindividual, carried the responaibility for identifyingand classifying schools with nongraded programa. To herI express my thanks. Alpo, the care and patience of Mra.Frances Termine cannot go unrecognized. The difficultiesinherent in preparing this work are apparent. Mrs. Terminecompleted this arduous job without complaint.
Space limitations demand that the list of contributorsbe kept at a minimum. There are many who contributed tothis undertaking whoce namea do not appear in the list ofcredits, but their contribution ia nonetheless deeplyappreciated. Without their efforta the directory wouldnever have been completed.
