ADMINISTRATIVE

  The Report of Combined Term (Regular and Summer) Graduates
  should  be completed for each of your secondary schools that
  had high school graduates for the 1995-96 school year.
  
  This package will contain a form for each of the schools in
  your division that may have high school graduates for the
  1995-96 school year, and a copy of the "Instructions for
  Preparing the Report of Combined Term (Regular and summer)
  Graduates."
  
  Identification of each school division's contact person for
  1995-96 will be requested in the School Administration data
  collection in July 1996.
  
  The 1995-96 report of graduates is a single collection that
  requests the total number of high school graduates for both
  the regular term, 1995-96 and the summer term, 1996.  The
  combined form should be completed and returned to the
  Department of Education no later than September 6, 1996.
  
  If the school has no graduates, return the school form
  marked "NONE."  If there are no summer graduates to be
  reported, the report should be completed for only the
  regular term and can be returned to the Department prior to
  the due date.  To avoid duplicate reporting, the form should
  not be completed for centers (vocational/technical, special
  education, alternative education, etc.) to which students
  who are officially enrolled at other  schools, may travel
  for specialized instruction or training.  SUPTS. MEMO. NO. 36

  Graduates should coordinate the collection of the forms for
  each school in the division and submit them to the
  Department by the due date.  The forms may be submitted by
  fax [(804) 371-8978] or mailed to:
