Also included are memoranda reporting votes at school district meetings, recommending school district boundary alterations or centralizations, and ordering redistricting of superintendencies; petitions from voters requesting annexation or centralization of school districts; and statistical reports of school districts types, staffing, and student population in each county. The files from the 1960's frequently contain correspondence relating to boards of cooperative educational services (BOCES) and letters from private citizens referred by the Commissioner's Office to the Bureau for response.
