2Student 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.
3Type 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) address 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.
