-
This study reports the findings of a survey of public education in America's 49 largest cities. The National School Boards Association (NSBA) Council of Big City Boards of Education conducted this study. This study covers the 1973-1974 school year, but similar studies have been conducted for other school years. The purpose of this report is to describe school board operations in the large cities and to reveal something about the changes taking place in them. The changes identified by the study indicate that: (1) there were fewer students in the large cities in 1973-74 than in 1970-71; (2) while total enrollment declined, the percentage of black and Spanish surnamed students in the big city schools increased; and (3) there were changes for the school boards also during this period. Surveys similar to this one were conducted in 1964-65, 1967-68 and 1970-71. The three surveys contained several similar questions. Data from all surveys are compared in this study. However, since the surveys are similar but not identical, interpretation of the data must be made with caution. (Author/AM)
