Transcription Notes:
Unsure about the name of the school on the first row

Corrected signature name, also the Cities where the schools reside and sometimes the start date of school is entered in the cell under the schools name, this is not a separate row to be transcribed because there are no statistics associated with just the name of the city, I believe should be included with the school name and that is what I changed, writer was just limited to the space in the form - so instead of 13 rows in table, actually only 7 (one being the total)
