Summary:     The series consists of statistical reports on Florida's public school system compiled by the Florida Department of Education and then submitted to the United States Office of Education.  Prior to 1955, there were two set of reports: 1) Combined ( "White and Colored" or "White and Negro"), and 2) "Colored" or" Negro".  Each set recorded personnel statistics (such as number of administrative officers, supervising officers, teachers and pupils; average daily attendance; and number of schools) and financial statistics (such as income from permanent funds; leases of school lands; salaries of supervisors and teachers; supplies and other expenses; and status of retirement funds).  Since 1955, the report was no longer divided by race but recorded the same kinds of information as before. The series also contains Federal school report instructions; and correspondence (1936-1954) between officers of the United States Office of Education and officers of the Department of Education concerning the process of the Federal school reports.
