| This article describes the directory of the same name. The universe data are primarily from the "Local Education Agency Universe Survey," a component of the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD). | |||
|
This directory provides a complete listing of agencies responsible for providing free public elementary/secondary instruction or education support services in the 50 states, District of Columbia, five outlying areas, and Department of Defense Dependents Schools (overseas). The agencies are organized by state or jurisdiction and, within each state or jurisdiction, by agency type. Agencies are divided into six types: regular school districts, supervisory union admini- strative centers, regional educational service agencies (RESAs), state-operated agencies, federally operated agencies, and other agencies.
For each agency, the directory provides one line of information, as reported for the school day closest to October 1, 1997. The following information is provided for each agency: agency name, address, and phone number; name of county; metropolitan status code; grade span; student membership (number of students enrolled); number of regular high school graduates (1996-97 school year); number of students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs); number of teachers; and number of schools (figure A). Preceding the information on individual agencies are several tables that provide summary information, such as the numbers and percentages of agencies by type, size, and state.
