  2. Using demographic information for your school district/ISD is a tremendous tool for long and short range planning, applying for grants, driving school improvement/NCA accreditation, and considering what’s college and workforce ready.

  3. Example 1: Closure, consolidation, build new schools? How to plan?

  4. Lansing city population has declined by 4.1% since 2000 Source: Census of Population and Housing; Analysis by Bettie Landauer-Menchik, Data Services Unit, K-12 Outreach, College of Education, MSU

  7. How can the school district keep the support of the 70% of households who no longer see children on a daily basis? • What role should school buildings play in the city? Recreation? Support for arts? Senior citizen centers? Neighborhood services? …Ask the key question so everyone gets it.

  8. The type of housing units in the district is likely to impact school enrollment .. Look at other information too; it’s not just demographics that matter Owner-occupied Housing 30,775 Renter-occupied housing 21,575 Source: School District Demographics, 2000. Analysis by Bettie Landauer-Menchik, MSU

  9. The percentage of owner-occupied housing has declined from 1970 to 2000 Source: Census of Population and Housing; Analysis by Bettie Landauer-Menchik, Data Services Unit, K-12 Outreach, College of Education, MSU

  10. What’s true for the city, may differ neighborhood by neighborhood … look at lowest geographic level possible; usually census tracts

  11. Example 2: What indicators can be used to provide reliable information on indicators of child well being such as family composition, income and poverty, and parental participation in the labor force?

  12. With Whom Children live in Lansing has a major impact on their success in school. Fewer children live with two parent families than the Michigan average. Lansing Michigan Source: 2000 Census; Analysis by Bettie Landauer-Menchik, K-12 Outreach,MSU

  13. Median Income of Families with Children: Income of Families is Correlated with School Success Source: 2000 Census of Population and Housing; Analysis by Bettie Landauer-Menchik, Data Services of K-12 Outreach, MSU

  14. Nearly half of parents with children enrolled in Lansing schools have only a high school education

  15. The percentage of families with children needing support is high

  16. The Impact of GM’s Move out of Lansing and Cutbacks in the State: Less Households are in the Upper Income Group than 10 years ago Income Groups are established for the US by the Census Bureau. Data is from 2000 Census of Population and Housing;; Analysis by Bettie Landauer-Menchik, K-12 Outreach,MSU

  17. Example 3: How might changes in minority and immigrant population growth affect the achievement gaps in our district?

  22. Example 4: Applying for grants, North Central Accreditation, before an after school programs, etc.

  23. Applying for grant for a health clinic in the school or before and after school childcare Number of children in neighborhoods,, working parents, number of hours work, family composition, commuting time of parents, income of parents with children enrolled in public schools, hours of parent employment for parents with children <6 and 6 to 17

  24. Example 5: As part of a two county team we want to look at strategies to link our regional economic development, work force development and P-14 school efforts. We hope to better understand the demographics of our two counties (growth, population, characteristics etc), our work force competitiveness  or human capital position looking at our current work force and emerging work force (diversity, education levels,  education levels of parents, work status, STEM proficiency etc), indicators of need or using another view – under developed/utilized human capital indicators  such as  the size, distribution and demographics of our  poverty and unemployed populations?

  25. www.census.gov Lots of stuff you want to know about your district without the cost of a survey

  26. Geography of the Census • Block • Block Group: about 1,500 people • Census Tract (between 1- 8,000 people) generally with recognized boundaries, ie major roads, railroad tracts. Use census tract for neighborhoods. If you want multiple tracts, it’s easiest to download all tracts within a county. • Place, School District, County Subdivision • County • State

  27. What will come from Census 2010?

  28. The more interesting data is collected and released in the American Community Survey (ACS) 30 30

  29. What is the American Community Survey? With this first-ever release of these 5-year estimates and each year´s update to come, people will no longer have to wait a decade for the next look at detailed characteristics data for their small areas. --Dr. Robert Groves, Director of the U.S. Census Bureau 31 31

  30. The newest data 2005-2009 ACS Social, Economic, Housing, and Demographic 5-Year Estimatesincludes data by census tract, city, township, county, and all school districts.

  31. ACS Data Products Release Schedule 25 131 All districts Five-year estimates will be available for areas as small as census tracts and block groups from the Census Bureau

  32. ACS numbering system • 1,358 detailed tables • Base tables are denoted with a “B” in the unique table ID, e.g.. B02001 • Collapsed versions of base tables are identified with a “C,” e.g. C02001. • Collapsed tables are sometimes available when base tables are suppressed. • Collapsed tables are not available for all ACS base tables.

  33. Lots of Tables –Where to start? • Population tables begin with letter P • Housing tables begin with letter H • Some tables begin with PCT or HCT. • Tables become more complex as numbers get larger. • Print out the table outlines if you prefer to view tables (I always use the table outlines)

  34. Examples of B and C tables

  35. There are 4 profiles

  36. What happens to ACS when it goes to NCES? It becomes the School District Demographic System (SDDS) with some very nice features…..

  37. ACS morphs into School District Demographics

  38. http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/sdds/index.aspx

  39. Use Data Viewer: for single district, couple of tables. Use Download Data for multiple districts (and other geographies) and multiple tables

  40. Snapshot Reports: there are 5 topics with 3-5 tables in each. Still need to be crunched.

  41. Sample Map from SDDS: Children’s Poverty

  42. Child Specific Universes • Total Children • Relevant Children Enrolled and Not Enrolled • Relevant Children-Not Enrolled • Relevant Children-Enrolled • Relevant Children-Enrolled Public • Relevant Children-Enrolled Private What’s a Relevant Child? you ask……. One who lives within the territory of the district and whose assigned grade falls within the grade range for which a district is financially responsible

  43. For Example: Tables on Educational Attainment • P37: Sex by Educational Attainment for the Population 25 Years and over (25 variables) • P148A-I: Sex by Educational Attainment for the Population 25 years and over for White alone, Black alone, American Indian alone, Hispanic, Asian alone, 2+races, White alone and non Hispanic.
