distribution by type of school is based on membership in the schools
of the school district. This count may differ somewhat from the
count of students receiving educational services from the school
district reported in table 1.
|
2Type
of school is a mutually exclusive category on the CCD. There are
cases in which special education, vocational education, and alternative
programs reside in other types of schools.
|
|
NOTE: The universe for this table includes outlying
areas, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Department of Defense schools.
Types of Schools are defined in the following way on the CCD:
Regular school-A public elementary/secondary school that does
not focus primarily on vocational, special, or alternative education;
Special education school-A public elementary/secondary school
that: 1) focuses primarily on special education, including instruction
for any of the following: hard of hearing, deaf, speech-impaired,
health-impaired, orthopedically impaired, mentally retarded, seriously
emotionally disturbed, multi-handicapped, visually handicapped,
deaf and blind; and 2) adapts curriculum, materials or instruction
for students served;
Vocational education school-A public elementary/secondary school
that focuses primarily on vocational education, and provides education
and training in one or more semi-skilled or technical operations;
Alternative education school-A public elementary/secondary school
that: 1) addresses the needs of students that typically cannot
be met in a regular school; 2) provides nontraditional education;
3) serves as an adjunct to a regular school; and 4) falls outside
of the categories of regular, special education, or vocational
education. SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center
