2 Because of classification revisions, categories other than teachers, principals, librarians, and guidance counselors are only roughly comparable to figures for years after 1980.

3 Data included in column 8.

NOTE: Data for 1949-50 through 1969-70 are cumulative for the entire school year, rather than counts as of the fall of the year. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
