Local Schkol DistrictsSi
During the past several decades, the number of school districts (local basic administra nits), has
been reduced as a result of reorganization, consolidation, and annexation of smaller u nd mostnonoperating school districts have been eliminated. Between fall 1975 and fall 1979, the number ofdisbicts decreased by 2 7 percent The number of school districts decrgased from 16,014 in fall 1978 to15,929 in fall' 1979a decrease of 145 percent .=he net degrease included decreases-of 26 inNebraska, 22 in \Colorado, and 17 in Cregon (table 2) /

Califoviajlinois, Nebraska, and Texas each have more than 1,000 schooltistrictsrepresenting 26 5percent of all the districts in the Nation (table 2) Delaware reported the smallest number of disbicts-(16) The District of alum*, Hawaii, and the six outlying areas are alrgingle-school-district iurisdivLions
Staff
Administrators

Official administrators of local public school systert include superintendents, assistant superintendents,and other officials (those persons who develop and execute management activities for the local educa-tion agencies) 'These administrators represent 50,207 (approximately 1.2 percent) -of the total staffemployed in the public schodl systems (table 3a) Since some officials hold other assignments, the dataare collected as the equivalent of full-time assignments to the individual positions.
'Public school superintendents represent approximately 26 percent, or 13,272 of the total official ad-ministrators, and represent less than 1 percent of total staff The States having the largest number of
, superintendents are Texas-1,016, Illinois-958; Califomia 882; Ohio-734, Nqw York,714; andMichigan-533 With the exception of single-school districts, the smallest number of sugfrintendentswere reported in Delaware-16, Nevada-17, Maryland-24; and Rhode Islan'd-38. For the remain-ing States, the number of superinte9ents ranged from 40 to less than 500 (table 3a)

In previous years' reports, an attempt was made to compile data on official administrators by sex, butmuch of this information was unavailable from State eduCation agencies. However,, most States wereable to provide these data by fall 1979, and based on the information furnished, the following can beconstrued: approximately 2 percent of the superintendents and about. 28 percent of Tither ad-ministrators wereofemale, as reported by 43 States and -the District of Columbia In summary, 21 per-cent of personnel employed as official administrators in public school systes were female
Principals and Assistant PrincipalsPrincipals and assistant principals, represented approximately 106,000 (about 3 percent) of all staffreported in public school systems Table 3b includes separate figures for principals and assistant prin-cipals, except for Alabama, Montana, and Oregon which could not separate the two In 4005tates andthe District of Cdlumbia, females comprised 14 percent of all principals and 21 percent of assistant prin-cipals Ten States were unable to furnish sex, data, therefore, about 18 percent of the principals andassistant principals were not identified by sex. -
Professional Education and Other ProfessionalStaffProfessional education ptrsonnel represented 2 3 million (57 4 percent? of all staff employed by public
school systems (table 3) Included in this category are classroern leachers, curricultm specialists,librarytarnedia specialists, guidanCe and counseling staff, and other teachers, e g , radio/TV, etc
Classroom teachers made up 2,1801604 (approximately 93.percent) of the professional educationalstaff 1 (table 3a) Guidance and counseling staff represent about 3 percent, libraryXmedia specialistsabout 2 percent, and curriculum specialists about 1 percent Other types of teachers represented lessthan 1 percent of the professional staff
Other staff members who have professional status, such ps psycho! ical personnel, accountants, COM-*
'puter systems analysts, df 'cians, etc , constituted 89,280 /Nix- ximately 2 percent) of the publicschool staff (table 3a) When he 1979 4ata on professional staff is compared with the'1978 data, it gip-pears that the number of professional staff personpel increased However, the difference is probablydu4 to how the Stales ortfed this data
Classroom, eachersThe number of classroom teachers increased each ,year since 1954 (the f st year for which these data
were collected), except in the years 1976 and 1979 (table 8) in the fat 1979, there were 2,180,504full-time and part-time classroom teacher; in the public school sy em, -a decrease of 26,109 (1 2percent) from the number in fall 1978 (table 9). Since marty States have modified their reportingsystems, this variance may be caused by 'underestimates submitted by some States or because someStates did not report data for those 2 years
'Even though classroom teachers comprise the largest proportion of eduivonal personnel, included In this number are a s all
number of curriculum and Weary/media specialists and/ other teachers, ho the reporting iurisjdictions were unable to cla sIfy
separately, thereby slightly increasing the number of ct m teachers reported

Figure 1 shows the trend of increase of classroom teeters over five-year intervals. During the 1954-59period, teachers inc by approximately 27 percent, for the periods 1959-64 and 1964-69, the ex,pansion remaine stable with an increase of 22 percent far both periods. However, the increase ofclassroom teachers- has been much smaller during the 970'i.

Grades 7 and 8 Membership by OrganizationalLevel.Grades 7 and 8 may be either part of a traditional elementary school or a part of a secondary school,depending upon the organizational level, of individual State's public school system However, many,Stateshaye been organizing their school levels to include 7th and 8th graders in their elementary schoolsystem Therefore, the number of reporting jurisdictions that classify 7th and 8th graders as secondarypupils is declining.
Table 7 shows the proportion of pupils enrolled in grades 7 and 8 in both elementary and secondaryschOols as reported by.19 States for fall 1979. This group of States comprise 31 7 percent of the Na-tion's total membership, with 68 4 percent of their 7th grade pupils and 70 3 percent of their 8th gradepupils in secondary schools
Pupil / Teacher RatioExcept in fall 1976 and 1979, teaching staff has increased slightly while enrollment has declined Con-sequently, the pupil-teacher ratio for the Nation decreased from 20 4 pupils per teacher in 1975 to 19 fin 1979 (table 1)
74.
The pupil/teacher ratio is the ratio of average daily attendance and the number of teachers (full-timeequivalent) It should not be equated with class size because many teachers are not permanently as-signed to a classroom and studenti are not necessarily in classes of equal size during a -single day orweek ..(for example, music or special education teachers may not be assigned to a specific classroom)Also, the number of ?hidents that are members of a school may be larger than the average daily attend-
ance at that school-
High School GradtiatesAbout 2 8-million students graduated from regular public high schools for thvpchool year 1978-1979, adecrease of approximately 7,400 students from the previous school year (table 10) Female graduatescontinued to outnumber male graduates by 2 percent
High school equivalency certificates were awarded to a little over 375,000 s, an increase of 'ap-tproxiinately 91,000 (32 percent) over the reported number graduated in 1977-78) This increase ismarl* due to more States reporting high school equivalency certificates for the year4978-79 Gradualtion from other public school programs (such as evening schools and adult education programs) was37,397, as reported by 15 States and the Diktrict of Columbia. The remaining 34 Stites were unable to
fr provide these data

grade enrollment. Public high school classes gradually lose students from year to year resulting in a
gradyation class that is approximately three-fourth's the size of the ninth grade class 4 years earlier.
Several outside factors contributed to the changes In the size of the ninth grade cohort such as, migra-
tion into the United States, shifts between public and private schools, ,enrollment in college prior to high
school graduation, dropping behind one gradelkind leaving high school without graduating However,
dropping out of school is the dominant reason for the decline in cohort iize.
Public Elementary and SecondarySchools
For purposes of the annual survey of school enrollment, a school is defined as a separately organized
unit Each separately administered unit is counted as a school, for example, elementary and secondary
schools occupying the same budding are counted separately. Alth gh the number of schools is not
identical to the number of school buildings, the changes in number 'of schools that occurred during the
past few years clearly indicates that fewer school buildings are in than previously. In 1979, State
'agencies reported to NCES that about 87, public schools were used for elementary and secondary
educition.programs (table 11) Since 1975,( 1
the number of schoOls has declined by about 1h700 or
around 2 percent However, the percentage decline in schools is smaller than'the percentage decline
for pupils, which decreased by 7 percent during the same period (table 1)
The net change in the number of schools throughout the United States from fall 1978 to fall 1979 was a.
reduction of 361 However, 17 States had more schools in fall 1979 than in the previous year For ex-
ample, the number of schools reported In West Virginia increased by over 100 during this period (even
though enrollment was lower) Overall, the number of schools decreased in 28 States and the District of
Columbia and did not change in 5 States The greatest decline occurred in Michigan, whkh lost 149
schools A comparison of sabres 5 and 11 will show that the decline in number of schools did not always
follow the trend in schoolfenrollment Nationally school enrollment declined at a faster rate than the
number of schoolsI

Estimated ReceiptsRevenylte and Nonrevenue Receipts
For the purposes of this report, revenue receipts are additions tothe assets of school districts that do not
incur an obligation that must be met at some future date, do not represent exchanges of property for
money and are available for expenditures. State contributions to retirement systems, pension funds,
and social security are Considered revenues. Support or aid in expenditures for vocational rehabillationand personnel salaries for supplementary services, such is State libraries and museums, teacher retire-
ment, aod teacher placement, are not revenue Data for the 1979-80 school year are estimates of an-
licipated revenue whkh were reported by each State education agency
Nonrevenue receipts are used primarily for capital building projects They consist of amounts that incur
future obligations, such as bonded debt. Nonrevenue receipts can also,be the result of Sanging the

forMof an asset from property to cash by selling, thereby, decreasin he amount and value of schoolproperty rFor example, money received from loans, bond sales, salei..of property purchasfd fromcapital funds, and proceeds from insurance adjustments are included as nonrevegofreceiptg
The total estimated revenue and nonrevenue receipts from .Eederal, State, intermediate, and localsources for elethentary and secondary education was $93 9 billion in 1979130 These total receipts ac-counted for 96 3 percent of the anticipated total income for public segmentary and secondary schools inschool year 1979-80 Of revenue receipts reported, am estimated $7 7 billion (8 5 percent) were fromFederal sources, $42 8 billion'(47 3 percent) were from State sources, $491 million ( 5 percent) werefrom intermediate sources, and $39`2 billion (43 4 percent) of the total amount of revenue were fromlocal sources Total estimated nonrevenye receipts for 1979-80 were reported to be $3 5 billion (3 7percent) of the total amount of revenue

stimated ExpendituresThe estimated total expenditures for all public school purposes ig 1979-80 amounted to $90 2(table 14) This total includes current expenditures reported for elementary and second9ry schools($80 3 billion), other programs ($1 2 billion), capital outlay ($6 2 billion), and pilyment of interest on
.debt ($2 5 billion) (table 14) Debt retirement is not included since this would .duplicate expendituresmade and reported in preceding years

Large 'CitiesSince 1962, statistical summaries of elementarydeand secondary education in the 20 largest U.S. cities
. 'have been presented in this report. Washington, D.C. is included with the 20 largest cities, as well aswith the State data At the time of the 1970 Decennial Census (April 1970), the combined population'of the 20 largest cities comprised approximately one-seventh (14.1 percent) of the total population ofthe United States. (Reported data for each of these cities, appear in tables 16 through 23.) _
)
StaffIn fan 1979, a total of approximately 391,000 fill -time equivalent employees, professional and non-professional, were reported serving public elementary and secondary schools in the 20 largest cities(table 16) This numfber represents about 10 percent of the total for the Nation.
The number of full-time equivalent classrooin teachers reported in tall 1979 for the cities totaled ap-proximately 193,000, or about 9 percent of the national total (table 19). This number represents adecrease of approximately 7 pereent from tke 1978 report. The largest increase in number of teacherswas in Boston, MassachusettO(20 9 percent), New York City had the largest decrease (15 percent).
PupilsThe 20 cities reported about 4 million pupils in membership, or 10 percent of The total Nation's publicschool students, in fail 1979 (table 17) Membership declined by 3 percent from 1978, a greater declinethan for the Nation as a whole. They reported decreases ranging from 0.8 percent in Memph14, Ten-nessee, to 11 7 percent in Cleveland, Ohio. Only Chicago reported an increase of 1 5 percent.Membership has continued to deaease faster in the 20 large cities than nationwide as seen in thefollowing tabulation.

Nature and Conduct of the SurveyThe sure of public elementary and secondary schools began in 1954 with the collection of data on the
inum r f pupils and staff in the public school system. Before the 1971 survey,' only statistics onclassroom teachers (in full -time equivalents) were collected. The survey was expanded in fall 1971 andagain in fall 1976 to obtain the information on all staff in four major classifications by sex in accordancewith Handbook IV, Staff Accounting. The survey also included estimates' of revenue and nonrevenuereceipts by source, expenditures by major purpose, average salaries of classroom teachers and otherprofessional education staff, and estimates of average daily attendance and average daily membership.Data on the number of local school' districts were extracted from the Fall 1979 Local Education AgencyDirectory Ale (unpublished data)
To the extent possible, data are shown for each State and the District of Columbia, and estimates formissing dalsLaze included in the national totals and averages Statistics for the chutlying areas are shownseparateh and are not included in the national totals This survey also provides information on theschool systems located in the 20 largest cities that ranked highest in total population according to the1970 census Data for Washington, D C are shown in botIltate and large city listings.
In some tables, national and State totals for fall 1978 are provided for companson Some of the datadiffer from that previously published because more complete data became available
The data were furnished by the State education agencies on the following three reportforms designedby NCES. Common Core of Data (CCD) part IV dealt with pupil membership and staff, part V...,with

To the extent possible, each State report was reviewed for internal consistency and for comparabilitywith information received in previous surveys, State publications, and related NCES studies Letters,telegrams, and telephone callsitreze used, when necessary, to obtain data from respondents and toresolve questions
As in any mail questionnaire survey, interpretation of instructions and definitions may vary amongrespondents Because public elementary and secondary education is a State and kcal responsibility,any statistical total for the Nation as a whole reflects a composite of the different reporting practices inthe States The use of standard forms and definitions in collecting data tends to minimize these varia-7 _tions Whenever State deviations from prescribed definitions and instructions were known, they are in-dicated in the footnotes to the various tables
NCES encouraged each State to obtain the data for its report by conducting a fall survey of local Schooldistricts with adaptations of the Federal forms and accompanying instructions Some States reportedfrom survey data collected for regular annual reports Financial estimates for 1979-80 were prepared inthe State offices, generally witho.ut recourse to survey efforts State appropriation records and budgetsfiled by local school districts served as bases for most of these estimates

Itgms not pported by any State agency areshown as blank or "not reported" in the tables. The following data elements were imputed by NCESaverage daily attendance (ADA), average daily membership (ADM), and estimated average annualsalary for the professional educational staff who are other than classroom teacheis. National totals forper pupil expenditures were estimated for the States that did not report Mei/. ADA or ADM. All derivednumbers are indicated by footnotes. ADA and ADM were calculated for nSnrespondent States by deny-ing g historical relation between fall pupil membership and ADA and ADM by State and multiplying thefall 1979 pupil membership by that ratio to obtain the estimated ADA or ADM Nationally, ADM isabout 96 percent of fall membership and ADA is about 94 percent of fall membership
The NCES estimates of AI and ADM were used only to calculate derived numbers, such as estimPedexpenditures per puel in ADA, and are not reported in the tables.
