Please see data notes for an explanation of individual state differences. Children are reported only once within each of the first three columns. However, the same child may be reported in more than one column if involved in two or more incidents. In addition, the children reported in the final column (MULTIPLES SUM TO > 10 DAYS) are a subset of the children reported in the third column (> 10 DAYS IN SCHOOL YEAR). Percentage is calculated by dividing the number of children in the discipline category A and disability category B by the number of children ages 3-21, reported on the child count in disability category B for the same school year. Data for 2002-03, updated as of July 31, 2004. U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs, Data Analysis System (DANS). |
