----------------------- Given concerns about the validity of the data on the number of acts committed, these data are not reported here. Children are reported only once within each column. However, children may be reported more than once across columns, if, based on two or more incidents, they were subject to unilateral removal for drug or weapon offenses, removed from the current educational placement based on a hearing officer determination regarding likely injury, or subject to long-term suspension/expulsion. Data for the 2000-2001 school year, updated as of August 30, 2002. U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs, Data Analysis System (DANS). |
