Abstract	Demographics in the U.S. have changed dramatically over the last three decades. Indiana's demographics are changing, too--albeit less dramatically. To explore how demographic shifts are changing the composition of Indiana's schools, the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy (CEEP) uses Common Core of Data (CCD) school enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to illustrate enrollment trends within and across school districts in the last few decades (1988-2015). For policy makers, researchers, and citizens, this data visualization provides insight into enrollment patterns and an opportunity to drill down geographically into the data. CEEP created the web site Examining the Cross-Roads: Segregation in Indiana to explore the demographic shifts in Indiana's schools. CEEP's web site and the research it shares provide a basis for potential conversations regarding potential policy concerns--specific to Indiana's school enrollment patterns--regarding achievement differences and tangible/intangible resources. Key findings include: (1) Although Indiana has seen rapid growth in the enrollment of non-White students, due to large-scale residential patterns White students in the majority of districts are quite segregated and interactions between White and non-White students in Indiana remain low; (2) In some Indiana counties, segregation by race/ethnicity is related to school district boundaries, as well as school attendance boundaries within districts; and (3) Segregation by income level is found in both rural and urban areas. On average, non-White students in Indiana are more likely than White students to attend schools where more than half the students receive free meals. This report includes the following sections: (1) Geography of Segregation; (2) A Historical/Legal Timeline; (3) A Brief History of the Black Population in Indiana; (4) A Brief History of the Latino/a Population in Indiana; and (5) The Legal Background of Segregation in Indiana.
