In receiving data from the state, there were some instances in which the total number of incidents may have differed from other recorded totals of incidents due to the reporting and recording of the numbers. This was due in part to situations where students may be involved in more than one type of incident of school violence, or may be included in one or more factors in regard to school violence, such as gender, grade level, or socioeconomic level. In some cases, schools or districts may report the overall number of incidents of school violence, but not report by subcategories of gender, grade level, or socioeconomic level.
