Pursuant to the legislation and in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), if a category contains between 0 and 9 students, the number has been replaced with a symbol.  In addition, certain numbers have been replaced with a symbol when they could reveal, through addition or subtraction of other numbers that have not been redacted, the underlying count of a number that has been redacted.  Codes for dropouts and other accountable discharges include 02, 12, 21, 29, 35, and 39. In addition, codes 08X, 10X, and 11X are considered dropouts in order to align with state guidance.
