THE EVALUATION METHOD CONSISTED OF A REVIEW OF RELEVANT PROGRAM REPORTS AND AN ONSITE VISIT TO THE PROGRAM. DURING THE ONSITE PHASE OF THE EVALUATION, THE EVALUATORS ATTENDED A MEETING OF THE TURTLE MOUNTAIN DELINQUENCY PREVENTION COMMISSION, INTERVIEWED THE PROJECT COUNSELOR, HOUSE PARENTS, AND YOUTH, AND INTERVIEWED REPRESENTATIVES OF THE COMMISSION, THE TRIBAL COURT, SCHOOL OFFICIALS, AND SOCIAL SERVICE WORKERS. THE COMMISSION MEETING WAS FOUND LACKING IN DIRECTION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROCEDURAL IMPROVEMENTS ARE PROVIDED. PHYSICAL CONDITIONS AT THE HOME ITSELF WERE ALSO FOUND TO BE SOMEWHAT UNSATISFACTORY. THE EVALUATORS OFFER SUGGESTIONS ON IMPROVING THE SAFETY, AND SECURITY OF THE HOME. A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS WERE NOTED WITH RESPECT TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE HOUSE PARENTS, AND THE EVALUATORS SUGGEST THAT GREATER CONTROL OVER THE STAFF BE EXERCISED BY THE COMMISSION. INTAKE PROCEDURES WERE FOUND TO BE UNSATISFACTORY AS WELL. FINANCIAL DATA ON THE PROJECT WAS INCOMPLETE, AND THE EVALUATIONS FOUND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TRACE COSTS WITH THE DATA PROVIDED. A SERIES OF RECOMMENDATIONS TO PROMOTE IMPROVED FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AT THE GROUP HOME ARE INCLUDED.
