Abstract	This report presents findings on the numbers and types of public elementary and secondary local education agencies (LEAs) in the United States and other jurisdictions in the 2007-08 school year, using data from the Local Education Agency Universe Survey of the Common Core of Data (CCD) survey system. The CCD is an annual collection of data that are reported by state education agencies to the National Center for Education Statistics through the U.S. Department of Education's EDFacts data collection system. Because the purpose of this report is to introduce new data through the presentation of tables containing descriptive information, only selected findings are presented. These findings have been chosen to demonstrate the range of information available when using the CCD rather than to discuss all of the observed differences, and they are not meant to emphasize any particular issue. Among the findings were that there were 17,775 operating local education agencies (LEAs) in 2007-08. In the 2007-08 school year, 149 LEAs were closed and 183 were newly opened. Most of these operating agencies were regular school districts (13,924) that were responsible for educating students residing within their jurisdiction. A total of 1,399 were administrative or service agencies that typically provide services to school districts. A total of 2,012 were independent charter agencies in which all the associated schools are charter schools. An additional 440 agencies were operated by the state or some other entity. Of the approximately 49.2 million students served by LEAs, 48.2 million attended schools in regular school districts. Nearly 1 million students were enrolled in LEAs other than regular school districts, including approximately 212,000 students enrolled in administrative and service agencies, approximately 699,000 students enrolled in independent charter agencies, and approximately 89,000 enrolled in state- and federally operated and other types of agencies. Appended to this report are: (1) Methodology and Technical Notes; and (2) Common Core of Data Glossary. (Contains 6 tables.) (ERIC).
