Data Notes:
The GFSA has provisions in place that allow local officials to refer expelled students to an alternative school or program.
Four states - Colorado, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia - did not provide information on the number of GFSA violations shortened on a case-by-case basis.
Puerto Rico did not submit 1998-99 GFSA data.
