Abstract	This report on pupil, staff, and parent attitudes toward career education presents data obtained from a January 1972 inventory of sample populations in the six participating Local Education Agencies (LEAs) in the Comprehensive Career Education Model (CCEM) project. These data serve as a baseline for the CCEM installation efforts, and this initial survey is reported to provide more effective program planning information to the CCEM project staff. Findings from the survey showed that pupils (Grades 4-6 and 7-12), staff, and parents all had extremely positive attitudes toward career education, implying that a curriculum change in the direction of career education would probably be welcomed. There was one potential problem in the career education program: the granting of high school course credit for work experience. The survey showed that most of the parents did not approve of course credit for any of the nine job possibilities listed, but high school students wanted credit for two of the jobs and the staff members would grant credit for all nine. However, there was close agreement among the students, their teachers, and their parents about the value of career education and about their generally positive attitudes toward it. A second report will be made after June 1973 to compare the same populations and to identify changes in attitudes toward career education. (MF)
