Administrative Utility Analysis: Study Summary.

This document summarizes the recommendations made as a result of a study on administrative utility analysis and vocational education programs for Puerto Rico.

Included are general guidelines with regard to the internal management structure and operating methods for the individual vocational programs. Organization structures are presented for specific area programs in industrial arts, health occupations, industrial and technical education, vocational agriculture education, home economics education, business education, distribution and marketing education, vocation guidance, and special programs. Other recommendations were made for restructuring the AVTE regional organization, planning and budgeting operations, and all internal systems and procedures.
