Scope and Content Note

This volume contains information on the formation of several kinds of school districts (union free, town, consolidated, central) and lists the establishment dates of vocational education and extension boards (VEEB) and boards of cooperative educational services (BOCES). This volume was probably used by the Bureau of Apportionment until 1954. It is unclear how the volume came to the Bureau of School District Organization.

Information for union free districts includes district number, name of town date of meeting to organize the district, and number of school board members. Not all districts are included. Information for town districts includes school unit number, name of town, and members of the school districts included in the town school unit.

Information for consolidated and central districts includes school district numbers of districts being consolidated or centralized; town(s); date of consolidation or dates central district was laid out by commissioner of education, organizing meeting held, and central district designated by commissioner of education; and name of number of new district. Many entries are annotated to indicate subsequent changes in district organization.

Dates of establishment are given for vocational education extension boards (VEEB) and BOCES.
