Sixteen tables present information about the ethnic and racial distribution of the students and staff of New York State public schools in the 1991-92 school year. The first three tables present the racial and ethnic distributions of all students, of Black and Hispanic American students, and the percent distribution of students by racial and ethnic origin. Other tables focus on the schools, giving the number and percent of minority students, and of Black and Hispanic American students in particular. Similar figures are given for the school staff. Other tables break down the distributions by school district within county and by Board of Cooperative Education Services jurisdiction. The total enrollment for the state in 1991-92 was 2,613,841 students (19.8 percent Blacks; 15.6 percent Hispanic Americans; 59.8 percent Whites; and 4.8 percent American Indians, Alaskan Natives, and Asian or Pacific Islanders).
