I am happy to be able to again share data from files released to the shared list over the past year. Here is a link to last year’s post, but I will put the charts with 2018 and 2018 data below 2019 to make it easier to compare. A reminder that the elimination of the partnership program was announced in 2017. Partnership files continued to trickle in over 2018 but the overall number of files released to the shared list in 2018 was double that of 2017. There was another increase this year, but not to the same degree as last year.

• Special focus boys was +99
• LID boys was +9
• Special focus girls was +59
• LID girls was +35
• Overall there were 202 more shared list files this year; 158 special focus and 44 LID
• My thoughts on what this means for the future of LID files are in this companion post.

Here is the 2019 chart
