User's Guide
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the 2003 User’s Guide
For those of you new to Information Works!, please remember that
the data is from school year 2001-2002. Each year of IW! displays a
wealth of data gathered in the year prior to its publication. The
User’s Guide presents three kinds of information:
- The sections marked “What you are looking at” and “What you
are
looking for,” offer brief, user-friendly explanations for the data
in each field, along with a notion of what we consider to be the
information’s utility.
- When relevant, the Guide provides the source of the numbers
presented and, in some cases, how they were calculated.
- In some sections, the Guide notes the changes that have
resulted from state and federal policy refinements, with short
explanations of or references to the policy itself.
