Research Report-49 is a summary of the State
membership data for Florida public schools
prepared by the Division of Research of the
Florida State Department of Education. Basic
data for this report were compiled by Mr.
James C. Impara, Research Consultant. This
report revises Research Report-42. (450)





















ANALYSIS OF MEMBERSHIP AT THE CLOSE


OF EACH MONTH OF SCHOOL, 1965-66


The data included in this report are compiled from Item 30, "Membership
at Close of Each Month of School," Principal's Annual Report on Attendance,
Form At-14p, submitted to the State Department of Education at the close of
the 1965-66 school year. Data pertaining to adult and vocational schools
with classes extending beyond the regular school year are excluded from the
tabulations in this report. The University School in Leon County is excluded
for the same reason.

This is the ninth year for which the Research Division has made a
complete tabulation of monthly membership figures. Data for 1956-57 are
based on incomplete reports. Research Report 49 is a statistical study
prepared in an effort to establish long range growth patterns of value
for educational planning purposes.

Table 1 shows, for a nine year period, a comparison of the change
in membership at the close of each month of school from the membership at
the close of the first month. Table 2 gives the comparable percent of
change.

Table 3 gives the change in membership at the close of each month from
membership at the close of the first month for each county for the 1965-66
school year. This membership change is given by grade group 1-6,.7-9, 10-12,
as well as for the county as a whole. The numbers shown in this table for
each month should be related back to the membership shown for the first month.


PEAK MONTH

Traditionally, the membership pattern in Florida schools has been thought
of as a horse-shoe shaped curve, rising sharply during the winter months and
then dropping back toward the end of school. There has been a tendency for
the peak membership period to level out, or more nearly approach the beginning
membership. Of course, some counties still experience peak months that are
substantially above the beginning and ending months. A study of Table 3
will emphasize the different membership patterns.

For the first time in four years the fifth month was the peak membership
month. It has returned to its position prior to 1962-63, when the fifth
month was the peak month for the state as a whole. There is considerable
variation among the counties as to the month in which maximum membership is
reached. This variation is shown below. The number in parentheses indicates
the peak month for the previous year. For example, Alachua County reached
its peak membership at the first month of 1965-66 and in the first month of
1964-65.

MEMBERSHIP CHANGE

Forty-six counties showed a loss in total membership between the end
of the first month and the close of school in 1965-66. At the elementary
level forty-eight counties showed a gain. Eleven counties (Brevard,
Charlotte, Collier, Gilchrist, Glades, Lee, Levy, Manatee, Palm Beach,
Pasco, and Polk) showed some net increase at the end of the year at the
junior high level. No county had a net increase at the senior high level.

As shown above, the net membership loss during the year for the state
whole was 10,327 pupils. This net is a little misleading inasmuch as
of the junior-senior high school loss was offset by a gain in grades

LAST MONTH OF SCHOOL


The greatest net change in membership comes during the last month of
school each year--between the end of the eighth month and the close of the
school year.

The exact cause of this ninth month drop has not been identified positively.
In tourist counties one explanation is that it is due to winter residents with-
drawing pupils in order to return to other states. Decreasing winter farm
activity late in the school year may be a partial explanation in counties with
large numbers of migratory farm workers Early vacations may be a factor. It
appears that the pupils withdrawing during the last month of school are distri-
buted fairly proportionately among the grade levels.

It does appear that the ninth month loss is of a different nature than the
loss during other months where such loss is not distributed proportionately among
the grade groups. This could prove a fruitful area for investigation in those
counties where the loss is substantial, Could a readjustment in the school
calendar reduce this loss and increase Minimum Foundation Program funds allocated?

DROPOUTS

This report is not a dropout study. It is concerned with net membership each
month--beginning membership plus re-entries less withdrawals. Thus new students
transferring into a school system during the year can offset withdrawals These
data do have limited significance for those interested in the dropout problem.

In those counties where the elementary school membership increases or holds
reasonably stable, but junior and senior high school membership decreases
during the year, the most probable explanation must be dropouts at the high
school level. It is probable that families with younger children are more
mobile than families with older children However, it is not a reasonable
assumption that most of the people moving into Florida have children in the
elementary grades whereas most of the people moving out of the State have
children at the secondary level.

COUNTY STUDY NEEDED

Each county should examine carefully the figures for its own schools. At
the local level, it is possible to prepare detailed tabulations on a school-
by-school basis. In this way it should be possible to identify those schools
and even grades in which further investigation is needed. Inasmuch as State
foundation program funds are directly related to pupils in school, such an effort
at the local level could result in considerable financial return to a county
as well as good to the pupils who otherwise might be lost to the school situation.

There are many situations wherein elementary membership increases during
the course of the school year but junior and senior high membership declines
steadily. If the schools of a county where this pattern prevails are adequately
staffed at the beginning of the school year, then the elementary grades will be
understaffed and the secondary grades will be overstaffed as the year goes on,
unless changes are made in the assignment of teachers. This has significance
in planning the allocation of instructional personnel.


-4-







A number of counties experience peak membership at all levels early
in the school year. In such counties classroom space, desks, books, and
other facilities must be provided at the beginning of the school year and
become unused or unnecessary as the year moves along. Investigation may
reveal that the decline in membership is beyond the control of school
authorities, in which case nothing constructive can be done. On the other
hand, if the county can take steps to retain membership during the year,
more efficient use can be made of facilities, teachers, and supplies
already provided and increased minimum foundation and capital outlay funds
can be earned.


MISCELLANEOUS MEMBERSHIP DATA

Table 4 presents some miscellaneous membership data. Column I answers
the question of growth over the summer months from the close of one year to
the beginning of the next year. It shows the change in membership from the
close of the 1964-65 school year to the first month of the 1965-66 year.
State-wide, there were 45,450 more pupils on the active roll at the end of
the first month of 1965-66 than were on the roll when school closed in
1964-65.

Column II answers the question of growth from the first month of one
year to the first month of the succeeding year. From the first month of
the 1964-65 year to the first month of the 1965-66 year, there was an
increase of 34,202 pupils.

Column III gives the average daily membership for 1964-65 and Column
IV gives the average daily membership for 1965-66. Column V is the differ-
ence between Column III and Column IV, or the change in average daily mem-
bership. Fifteen counties had a lower average daily membership in 1965-66
than in 1964-65.


PERCENT OF MEMBERSHIP CHANGE DURING 1965-66

Table 5 gives the percent of change in membership by grade group between
the end of the first month and the close of the 1965-66 school year for each
county. It is the percent of gain or loss in membership during the year.
Overall, there was a net decrease of .85 percent. Grades 1-6 showed a gain
of .92 percent as compared to a net loss of 1.36 percent in grades 7-9 and
a net loss of 5.40 percent in grades 10-12.


ADULT AND VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS

Membership data for special adult and vocational schools with an
irregular membership pattern or with classes extending beyond the regular
school year are not included in any of the regular tables or summaries
in this report. Data for these schools also were omitted from previous
reports in this series. The excluded schools and membership data for
these schools are given below.

*The University School at Florida State University is not a vocational school
but is organized on a trimester plan with a graduating class prior to the
close of the ninth month; therefore, membership data for this school are not
included with data for regular schools in Leon County.
