Research Report 77 is a revision of Research
Report 68 prepared by the Bureau of Research
of the Department of Education.
















ANALYSIS OF MEMBERSHIP AT THE CLOSE
OF EACH MONTH OF SCHOOL, 1968-69


The data included in this report are compiled from Item 30, "Member-
ship at Close of Each Month of School," Principal's Annual Report on
Attendance, Form At-14p, submitted to the Department of Education at the
close of the 1968-69 school year. Data pertaining to adult and vocational
schools are included with the tabulations in this report.

This is the twelfth year for which the Bureau of Research has made a
complete tabulation of monthly membership figures. Research Report 77 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 ten 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 district for the 1968-69
school year. This membership change is given by grade group 1-6, 7-9, 10-12,
as well as for the district 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 horseshoe 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 districts still experience peak months that are
substantially above the beginning and ending months. A study of Table 3 will
emphasize the difference membership patterns.

The peak month for 1968-69 was the fourth month. An interesting
feature of the state-wide peak month figures above is that since 1959-60
there has been a three-year cycle in recurrence of the 4th and 5th months
as peak month. Beginning in 1959, peak months have been 5th, 5th, 5th,
4th, 4th, 4th, 5th, 5th, 5th, and 4th in 1968-69. There is considerable
variation among the districts 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, Bay County
reached its peak membership at the first month of 1968-69 and in the first
month of 1967-68.

MEMBERSHIP CHANGE

Twenty-three districts showed a gain in total membership between the
end of the first month and the close of school in 1968-69, At the elemen-
tary level forty-five districts showed a gain. Fifteen districts showed
some net increase at the end of the year at the junior high level. Two
districts, Hernando and Lafayette, had a net increase at the senior high
level.

As shown above, the net membership loss during the year for the
state as a whole was 9,889 pupils. This net is a little misleading inasmuch
as part of the junior-senior high school loss was offset by a gain in grades
1-6. From the first month of school to the close of school:

LAST MONTH OF SCHOOL


The greatest net change in total membership comes during the last month
of school each year--between the end of the eighth month and the close of the
school year. For the 1968-69 school year the membership for grades 1-6 and
7-9 also experienced the greatest change during the last month of school.
The greatest change in 10-12 occurred between the sixth and seventh month
with a drop of 2,578 students.

The exact cause of this ninth month drop has not been identified
positively. In tourist districts one explanation is that it is due to
winter residents withdrawing pupils in order to return to other states.
Decreasing winter farm activity late in the school year may be a partial
explanation in districts with a large number of migratory farm workers.
Early vacations may be a factor. It appears that the pupils withdrawing
during the last month of school are distributed 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 districts 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 with-
drawals. These data do have limited significance for those interested in the
dropout problem.

In those districts where the elementary school membership increases or
holds reasonably stable, but junior and senior high school membership de-
creases 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.

DISTRICT STUDY NEEDED

Each district 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
district as well as good to the pupils who otherwise might be lost to the
school situation.

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


-4-







A number of districts experience peak membership at all levels early
in the school year. In such districts 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 little constructive action can be taken. On
the other hand, if the district 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 1967-68 school year to the first month of the 1968-69 year.
State-wide, there were 48,665 more pupils on the active roll at the end of
the first month of 1968-69 than were on the roll when school closed in 1967-68.

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 1967-68 year to the first month of the 1968-69 year, there was an increase
of 35,913 pupils.

Column III gives the average daily membership for 1967-68 and Column IV
gives the average daily membership for 1968-69. Column V is the difference
between Column III and Column IV, or the change in average daily membership.
Sixteen districts had a lower average daily membership in 1968-69 than in
1967-68.


PERCENT OF MEMBERSHIP CHANGE DURING 1968-69

Table 5 gives the percent of change in membership by grade group between
the end of the first month and the close of the 1968-69 school year for each
district. It is the percent of gain or loss in membership during the year.
Overall, there was a net decrease of .75 percent. Grades 1-6 showed a gain
of 1.49 percent as compared to a net loss of .97 percent in grades 7-9 and
a net loss of 6.40 percent in grades 10-12.

in any of the regular tables or summaries in this report. The excluded
schools and membership data for these schools follow immediately.
