This series contains Reorganization and Consolidation Records. Series 2. “Office of the Superintendent, 1906-1975” contains microfilmed copies of records that were created or utilized by the Office of the Superintendent. This series is composed of Record of Teachers' Certificates, Superintendents' Record of Teachers' Service, and Pupils' Permanent Records.
