There have been a number of threads on these lists about decreasing
numbers of school tours due to NCLB.  
 
I'm wondering if anyone has gone so far as to figure out an average
percent decrease.  I'm preparing a board report and wondering if the
decrease in our tour numbers is on par with what other museums have
experienced.  
 
If you've quantified your year-to-year change since 2000 (pre-NCLB) and
are willing to share those numbers, I would be most appreciative. If you
email me your museum's stats (either percent change or actual tour
numbers), I'll do some number crunching and try to come up with an
average that would be of us for others. 
 
Thanks!
