This ninth annual study of the status of desegregation in the Dade County Public Schools shows the racial and ethnic composition of student and employee groups throughout the school system and has tables with selected data from prior years for ease in noting changes which might have occurred. This report contains data to assist school officials in their continuing assessment of the effectiveness of the desegregation plan. The report includes the elementary and secondary schools, adult education, and all supporting administrative and service departments. It includes tables containing both basic data and various comparisons of pupils and certain employee groups. Although the reports on desegregation in the Dade County Public Schools have included pupils and employees in all programs and departments of the school system, emphasis has been on pupils in the regular day schools since the primary purpose of the studies has been to determine the extent of racial "mix" between black and nonblack pupils in the K-12 program. Tables 1-7 are a tabulation of the basic data obtained in a survey of the entire school system. Analysis of this data resulted in several comparisons and special listings which are included in tables 8-11. (Author/JM)
