This publication is the fourth report in an annual survey series designed to provide reliable data on individual local public school systems for planning, policy, and research purposes. The report contains tables of national estimates and basic data tables providing quantitative staff data on the school systems in the survey. The data are derived from a sample survey of approximately 5,200 school systems. The survey was so designed that State estimates, as well as regional and national estimates, could be generated. Most of the tabular presentation analyses are based on (1) six enrollment-size groups based on school system average daily membership as determined by presample selection and design; (2) the three metropolitan status categories of metropolitan-central, metropolitan-other, and nonmetropolitan; and (3) four regions of the United States -- North Atlantic, Great Lakes and Plains, Southeast, and West and Southwest.
