Access the school district data files for 1995

I.    File Organization:


    The files in the FTP directory contain estimates of population and
    poverty for all school districts in the United States as of June 30, 1996. 
    There is one file for each of the states, the District of Columbia, and 
    the entire United States.  Each file has geographical identifiers, 
    including the Department of Education's Common Core of Data (CCD) ID and 
    District name, and estimates of the total population, population of 
    school-age children, and number of poor school-age children related to the 
    head of the household.
