Abstract:

Reports, primarily of a financial or statistical nature, of the Racine School District. Included are published annual reports of the superintendent to the Racine Board of Education, 1910-1930; audits; budgets; reports to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, 1920-1967; and files on the construction of individual school buildings. The superintendent's annual reports to the board include statistics on the student population and district income and expenditures, directories of school officials and teachers, statutes, rules, and regulations; lists of high school graduates; and illustrations. The annual reports to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction include descriptive statistics about the district and its student population; reports of receipts and expenditures; and information about the instructional staff, their professional qualifications, and salaries. Early reports submitted to the district superintendent by individual school principals are also included. After 1960 the state superintendent's reports include only the materials used in the preparation of the state reports, but not the final reports themselves. Also included are a few NEA reports and district self-evaluations submitted to the state office. The construction files consist of correspondence and memoranda exchanged with architects, contractors, and prospective bidders for building projects between 1913 and 1922. There are specifications in the files, but no plans or drawings. Additionally, there are reports on two special district studies: one undertaken by the Board of Education itself in 1926 and one conducted by Griffenhagen and Associates in 1933. Also included is a survey of public educational opportunities in the district, conducted by the League of Women Voters of Racine, 1971, and a promotional brochure (undated) for the Prairie School, a private school.
