The Arizona Department of Transportation, the Arizona Game & Fish Department and the Arizona State Parks Board are required to conduct a study every three years on watercraft fuel consumption and recreational watercraft usage. The fuel consumption data is collected to determine the allocation of motor vehicle fuel tax to the State Lake Improvement Fund. The information on recreational watercraft usage patterns on Arizona’s lakes and rivers is necessary, in part, to determine the distribution of SLIF funds to applicants.

This Process Analysis Manual is especially prepared as a tool to guide us in understanding data, and to plan, develop, establish and implement appropriate educational services to all of our eleven public school districts in Apache County. We and our school districts use this information to chart our progress in many areas and to help make decisions to guide our educational policies and priorities in the future. It is also a guide for those who are interested in providing the needed services to all the students, school district staff, school administrators, school boards and parents.
