The information was obtained through questionnaires sent to a sample of 2,503, or about 61 percent, of the 4,108 school districts which, according to HEW, were in operation during the 1971-72 school year in the 17 States. The sample is one the Office for Civil Rights, HEW, used in conducting periodic racial/ethnic surveys of public schools in carrying out its responsibilities under title VI of the Civilij.jhts A _L.164 According to the Office for Civil Rights, the sample includes all districts eliminating racially or ethni- cally dual school systems under terms of voluntary plan agree- ments with HEW or under Federal court order, regardless of school district enrollment, and other school districts se- lected in a statistically random manner based on district en- rollment size. Our questionnaire requested from each school district for each of fiscal years 1970, 1971, and 1972 information on the number and estimated value of (1) schools in operation at the end of each fiscal year, (2) schools closed permanently for any reason, and (3) schools closed permanently for reason of dgeejrgation by separate categories according to who rec- ommended the closing. We did not verify the accuracy of the inf6rmation submitted by the responding school districts. Of the 2,503 school districts which were sent question- naires, 2,228, or about 89 percent, responded. The informa- tion received showed that, of approximately 21,200 schools valued at about $15.8 billion in operation during the last 3 fiscal years, 558 schools valued at about $127 million were closed permanently for desegregation reasons. A detailed presentation of the data received in response to our question- naire is shown in the enclosure. ,07-0f'( (o)9c0GD
