By either East or West Dane County and thereunder chronological. Reports were filed in the latter part of the school year.

These records include annual reports submitted by the Dane County Superintendent of Schools to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction dated 1863-1891, and annual reports submitted by school district clerks and teachers to the Dane County Superintendent of Schools, 1912-1965. Included are Annual Reports of School Districts and School Census forms, and narrative annual reports (1937, 1939-1963).

The earliest reports (1863-1891) found in Box 1 are the county Superintendent of Schools compilation of report information filed by the school district clerks. Broad categories of information include general statistics, kinds of textbooks used, schoolhouse data, and financial statements. Separate reports are filed for schools in the First District (East Dane County) and for the Second District (West Dane County). For 1870-1891, a few reports exist for the city of Madison (city Superintendent of Schools) separate from the county Superintendent's reports. Narrative annual reports for 1937, 1939-1963 prepared by the county Superintendent of Schools exist only for West Dane County and can be found in Box 1A.

Reports (1912-1965) provide information on student enrollment and attendance, names of persons less than twenty years of age residing in the school district, names of teachers, details about particular schools, and school financial statements. Dates indicate the year the report was filed; thus, for example, the report for the 1953-1954 school year can be found under the year 1954.

“Annual Reports of Principals and Supervisors to the Superintendent of the Madison Public Schools” (Dane Series 10), “Annual Reports of High School Districts” (Series 674), and “Annual Reports of County Superintendents for One-room and Elementary Schools” (Series 675) contain related records.
