THE DISTRIBUTION OF NON-WHITCS IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF CONNECTICUT 
(4 

In late April, 1966, the State Department of Education asked local school 

officials $0 provide information about the racial composition of classes in the 

local public schools. Data were obtained for self-contained classes and for English 

classes where the schools are departmentalized. Information was sought also about 

Spanish speaking pupils. There is general recognition of the fact that in certain 

parts of the state, particularly in urban areas, there have been increases in the 

mmbers of non-white and Spanish speaking children in schools. There is need to 

establish benchmarks so that in future years there may be accurate determination of 

such things as the rate of change in the mmbers of such pupils, the rate ‘at which 

they may be moving into or out of urban areas, the grades in which the children are 0 

enroled, etce There are no school census figures on this basis; these data help to 

define the problem and should be taken into siedunt in whatever actions are proposed. 

No information was sought to explain the distribution of pupils. Same 

local people pointed out that in same cases, concentration of non—whitcs wescousad by 

housing patterns and neighborhood school policies; others pointed out that children 

i similar learning problems or pupils who had chosen certain curricula or courses 

+ were grouped togethers 

o Most school systems of the state supplied the data as requested; a few 

school systems did not wish to participate in the survey, In some cases, the data 

arrived too late to be processed and included in this report. 

Some towns or school districts report no non-whites or Spanish speaking 

children enroled; these districts are listed first, in Table I. 

Same towns have few non-whites; summary data for these towns are presented 

separately in Teble II, These summaries show the mmber of schools, the numbers of 

children enroled, the total mmber of classes, the number of classes ar grades which 

have non-whites in Shem, and the mmber of non-whites in each class which has 

non-whites in it.

For larger towns, we present, in Table ITI, summary data for each grade; we 

show the mumber of whites, the mmber of non-whites, the mmber of "don't knows" and 

the mmber of Spanish speaking pend lc, "In this table combination classes have been 

listed with She lowest grade included in the class. 

"Biore detailed dots which present informsbion for cach class in each schosl 

are on file in the Bureau of Research, Statistics and Finance of the Connecticut State 

Department of Education. The data are available for inspection and use by those who 

hy be interesteds The anonymity of individual teachers will be maintained. 

The covering letter and the survey form used are included in this bulletins 

It is hoped that these data will be useful as citizens and educators consider the 

problems of quality and equality in education far all children.

Bureau of Research, Statistics and Finance

T0: _Smperintendents of Schools

Tks 
FROM: William J. Sanders 

Commissioner of Education 

RE: Race Survey of Connecticut Schools 

At the request of the Connecticut Civil Rights Cammission, a study of the radial 
composition of public school classes in the state is being conducted. Because infor- 
mation is desired on the basis of classrooms, the enclosed forms are designed for use 
by teachers of self-contained classes, including kindergartens, and for teachers of 
English in departmentalized schools and parts of schools. 

The superintendent's office will provide the information necessary to code the upper 
part of the form. The superintendent will announce that the count is as of 
April 22, 1966 or the closest prior date. Assigned town, county and school code num- 
bers are on the enclosed State list. A teacher number should be assigned to each 
teacher involved in this survey by numbering the teacher of a self-contained class 

and/or English class, The class sections for each teacher should be numbered con- 
secutively beginning with one. A copy of this master list should be returned to 
this office with the completed forms. Be sure the master list shows the name of the 
town, name of the school, name and number assigned to each teacher of a self-contain- 
ed and/or English class, and the number for each class section taught by each teacher. 
No teacher will be identified by name in any report; the identifying data are merely 
to enable us to ask questions if any data appear to be inaccurate, incomplete or 
inconsistent. 

It may be necessary for the teachers to use their judgment in classifying pupils as 

white or non-white, or, as primarily Spanish speaking. 

Take extreme care to follow instructions. Fill in the appropriate baxes and matching 
columns below each bax. Optical scanning equipment, which reads the column entries, 
will reject the form if there is no mark or more than one mark in any column. Please 
ask the teachers to check the forms after completion to be sure there is one, and 
only one mark in each column. Mark zeros for data that do not apply. Please see 
that forms are neither folded nor stapled. 

The forms are to be collected by the principal of each school, checked for complete- 
ness and obvious errors and then forwarded to the office of the superintendent of 
schools. The superintendent's office should ascertain that all forms for each school 

have been returned to hie office. Keep the forms for each school together. Send 
all forms in one package to the Bureau of Research, Statistics and Finance, Connecti- 
cut State Department of Education, Bax 2219, Hartford, Connecticut 06115, before 
April 29, 1966. 

Thank you for your cooperation.
