-------------------

The data collection on exiting status was changed in 1992-93 from counting students exiting

the school system to counting students who exited from special education. These three bases

of exit had the same definitions across the data collections for the years shown.

Please see data notes for an explanation of individual state differences.

Data updated as of July 31, 2004.
