1Includes agencies classified as both Regular public school districts that are not a component of a supervisory union and Regular public school districts that are a component of a supervisory union.
2Supervisory unions provide administrative services to school districts through a common superintendent.
3Includes agencies that do not operate schools but instead provide specialized educational services or related services (such as services in Individualized Educaton Programs (IEPs)) to other education agencies that those agencies cannot provide themselves. Also includes specialized public school districts that operate one or more schools for a specific education need or purpose.
4Independent charter agencies contain only charter schools. Other charter schools may be reported through a different local education agency (LEA) type that contains both charter and non-charter schools.
5Operating schools/agencies include all those providing services as of the start of the reported school year.
6Added schools/agencies are reported for the first time although they have been operating for more than 1 year.
7Schools that changed agency are affiliated with a different local education agency than that reported in the previous year.
8New schools/agencies opened for the first time within the school year reported.
9Inactive schools/agencies are closed temporarily and expected to reopen within 3 years.
10Future schools/agencies are expected to open within 2 years.
11Membership is the count of students enrolled on October 1 of the reported school year. Student membership excludes adult education students.
12Shared time schools provide instruction on a regular basis to students whose membership is reported by another school. Schools not reporting a shared time status are counted as "not shared time" schools.
13Includes schools for which membership is 0, missing, or not applicable.
NOTE: Table includes the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Charter status is independent of school type; charter schools are included in the school type totals. For analytical purposes, the member LEAs within the New York City supervisory union are reported as a single LEA. Refer to the EDFacts Directory (FS029) file specifications for additional information on the relationship between the CCD directory variables UNION and LEA_TYPE (https://www.ed.gov/edfacts-file-specifications).
