The 2001-02 public school data was released in reports, data files, and web
tools. The CCD, a program of the National Center for Education Statistics, is a
comprehensive, annual, national statistical database of information concerning
all public elementary and secondary schools (approximately 95,000) and school
districts (approximately 17,000). The Public School and District locators allow
the user to retrieve information on public schools and districts from CCD's
databases. Data include address information and basic information on students,
staff, finance and 2000 Census data. Additionally, the Build a Table Tool
enables users to create customized tables of CCD public school data for states,
counties, MSA's, districts and schools using data from multiple years.

Now Available on the Web: Classification of Instructional Programs
From the site, The purpose of the Classification of Instructional Programs
(CIP) is to provide a taxonomic scheme that will support the accurate tracking,
assessment, and reporting of fields of study and program completions activity.
The 2000 edition presents an updated taxonomy of instructional program
classifications and descriptions. CIP 2000 is now available on the web in a
searchable, downloadable data base. The data base permits a full-text search of
the CIP and contains all of the tables in the CIP publication including the
crosswalk table between the 1990 CIP and the CIP:2000. These tables can be down
loaded into an Excel or Access.
