By the Numbers

Because few of us are involved in more than one school district, it can get hard to see how districts look different from one another. I hope to add some demographic information about area districts for comparison sake. Space limitations prevent me from a full-blown spread sheet presentation, but I'll add information to try and broaden the view. Source is the Minnesota Department of Education website.
