[5] Exclusion is the number of expulsions plus out-of-school suspensions plus Emergency Removal by District Personnel plus Removal by Hearing officer. For many districts, this is more of an approximation than the actual number. Many districts instead of reporting the actual number of discipline occurrences and enrollment numbers, reported: "< 10". We took that to mean "less than 10" disciplinary occurrences in the particular category. In order to calculate a rate we arbitrarily translated that to be "3" for all districts that reported "less than 10".

[6] That is, there is zero probability that difference occurred by chance alone.

[8] For many districts in this report, this is more of an approximation than the actual number. Many districts instead of reporting the actual number of discipline occurrences and enrollment numbers, reported: "< 10". In order to calculate a rate we arbitrarily translated that to be "5" for all districts that reported "less than 10" in either enrollment or discipline occurrences.
