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: 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-impared, health-impared, 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 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, or 4) falls outside of the categories of regular, special education, or vocational education.
